Decorate Your Interiors With Oversized Art



This post spotlights how oversized artwork can give your home the sophisticated feel of an art gallery while also creating focal points that define your space. The focal point is the area that demands complete attention as soon as someone enters that room so make sure your large art piece is the center of attention.Too much space with too little to anchor it makes a room feel lost and forlorn. When you have a big space to fill, oversized art can make the statement you're looking for. I like to use oversized art in smaller spaces as well. In an eclectic space, you can find large art that incorporates all your color schemes and makes the space feel intentional, rather than random.

Whether it's an abstract painting, classical art or a haunting photograph, placing large art around your home adds interest and gives it dramatic energy.

Usually the larger the print the more expensive it is. Why not try a grouping that's similarity gives the illusion of being one large piece.Unify the works with common mat colors, similar colored frames, and size and shape.

If you are looking for a statement making focal point, the same goal can be accomplished with a grouping if done correctly.The power of a large piece of art in home decorating is obvious, but don't underestimate the power of small art.  When placed correctly, small art begs to be looked at and works great in groupings.One large piece can create a focal point in a room, while a small collection of pieces draw the eye for a closer look.This grouping works so well as a large piece because the two columns act as a frame.


This modern dining table is paired with sumptuous button tufted dining chairs and an antique wool rug to create the palette for a fresh twist on classic design. The modern art piece brings the color and drama to the setting.


If your walls are painted a light shade such as off-white, cream or taupe, try using wall art in bold shades to spice things up.


Oversized art can also be used to draw people in from one space to another.
Not only will it be much easier to take notice of the piece but it will also help you define an area
