Many of us use art or framed portraits to decorate the walls in our homes. While these conventional techniques work well, they can lack the visual punch we're seeking. The next time a blank wall in your space is asking for attention, think out of the box and go for a more eye-catching approach.
Instead of framing a piece of art, why not create some art on the wall itself? You can hire a mural artist, or create your own geometric design using a custom stencil or painters tape and metallic paint.
People have been using plates as wall art for a very long time. It's the placement of these plates that is so appealing — it carries your eye across the entire wall.
Simple tree branches not only add interest to this space, they're readily available and inexpensive. I love that each one is unique, yet they align so well.
If you're going to stick with frames and portraits, consider adding a couple of unexpected items. The antlers and modern art in this gallery wall keep things interesting.
Excellent! these gave me great ideas! Also comment of Carole Meyer made me remember the exciting archaic wall decorations at Capadoccia underground city. Thank you for you both for sharing these
Great examples of wall-popping art. Whether DIY or custom made, its great to have an interesting something to look at on a blank wall. These are some metallic pieces I think are terrific http://www.custommade.com/by/metalexpressions/projects/
I take last year's cat calendar's photography (Cat-A-Day Calendar, Workman Press) cut off the dates and put them on a magnetic board in my kitchen. I change the images weekly to keep it fresh. Fun New Year's project.
