Big Design Impact Using Oversized Art

October 29, 2011 by Dan

If you want to create a lot of big design impact in a room, oversized art is the quickest and easiest way to accomplish your decorating goals. Although there’s nothing essentially wrong with smaller pieces of art, there’s just something special and eye-catching about larger pieces. If you’re trying to create a strong focal point in a room, it’s hard to beat the effectiveness of an oversized piece of art. Regardless of the overall decorating style of your home, here are some quick and effective ways to decorate your home with large art pieces.

Abstract – The Perfect Choice for Modern Decor

If your home features a modern cutting-edge style of decorating, consider using oversized pieces of abstract art. You’ll be able to find a wide variety of art pieces, made from almost every kind of material imaginable. Although many people automatically envision large prints or paintings when they think of abstract pieces, large contemporary wall hangings can also be a great choice. Large abstract pieces of art can work nicely when displayed on a large wall, such as what you commonly find in homes with high vaulted ceilings. In order to create the most impressive look with one of these walls, it’s almost essential to use oversized pieces. After all, smaller art pieces would just get lost and look out of place on such a large wall.

Many people prefer abstract art to pieces portraying realistic subjects because they are so interesting and thought provoking. It almost seems as though every time you look at a piece of abstract art, you see something just a bit different. Most people find that their interpretation of abstract pieces changes depending on their mood or daily thoughts. Because of this, a large piece of abstract art will have a tendency to seem fresh, exciting and new for a long time.

Classic Art for Traditionally Styled Rooms

If you’re looking for the perfect art piece for the traditionally styled room, it’s hard to go wrong with the classic pieces. Whether you prefer an oversized canvas painting or a large piece of trees wall art, the traditional look of these pieces tend to perfectly complement traditional decorating styles. Although you might love the look of abstract art pieces, they tend to be a bit too modern for truly traditional rooms. Instead, focus on art that feature realistic subjects, such as floral paintings, portraits, animals or landscapes. Since there are so many kinds of art from which to choose, it shouldn’t be difficult to find just the perfect piece to complement your traditionally styled room.

Fun Eclectic Style

If your home is decorated in a fun and varied eclectic style, almost anything goes when it comes to art. Again, if you want to create a strong focal point, a piece of large or even oversized art can be the perfect choice. When decorating an eclectically styled room, it’s important to add plenty of variety without crossing over the line and becoming too cluttered. Because larger pieces of art create simpler lines and stronger accents that help to reduce visual clutter, they can be quite useful when decorating an eclectically decorated room.
