The Rising Popularity of Unusual Wall Decor

As is the case with everything, the art world is full of trends. There are some types of art that are popular one minute and not the rest, but unusual wall decor has broken this trend by gaining a steady rise in popularity. Though unusual wall decor has always been a key part of the art world, in recent years it has begun to really thrive. Now, more people than ever before are adding unusual wall art to their homes. It doesn’t matter whether you live in a small studio apartment or a large detached house, there is always space for wall decor. You won’t find yourself short of choice, that’s for sure, not when unusual wall decor is hugely varied.

Why is Unusual Wall Decor So Popular?

  • Adds Personality and Individuality to a Home – If you are looking to add personality and individuality to your home, look no further than unusual wall decor. A lot of people are using unusual wall decor as a way to ensure their home stands out, makes a statement and reflects their personality. There is no denying that a lot of homes are somewhat similar. Though they do have their differences, many homes are interchangeable and generic. By adding unusual wall decor, you can relax knowing that yours is seen as individual.
  • Showcases Your Personal Style and Taste – It’s not always easy to clearly showcase your personal style and taste, especially if you are not wanting to give your home a dramatic makeover. This is where unusual wall decor comes in handy, as it allows you to showcase your style and tastes through the medium of art. Not only is adding unusual wall decor a lot easier than redecorating, there are a lot of options for you to choose from. This means you can find unusual wall decor that perfectly reflects who you are.
  • Creates a Talking Point or Conversation Starter – When it comes to art, everyone sees something slightly different. A piece of art can invoke a different emotion or feeling from everyone, and everyone has a unique opinion. Unusual wall decor is especially good at doing that, and it’s often a talking point or conversation starter for visitors to your home. It’s hugely popular amongst art lovers, so why don’t you join in and add unusual wall art to your home?
  • Impresses Friends, Family and Guests – There is nothing better than someone complimenting your home, especially your interior design taste, and unusual wall decor is sure to bring in the compliments. From the moment someone enters a room, unusual wall decor will grab their attention and get them talking. You can show off your interest in art, as well as highlighting the bold choices you have made when it comes to accessorising your home.

Choosing Unusual Wall Decor

There are a lot of unusual wall decor options out there, so you certainly won’t find yourself short of choice. Whether you are looking for something small and simple, or something big and bold, there is sure to be a piece of unusual art that grabs your attention. The great thing about unusual wall art is that there really is something to suit everyone’s tastes, even those that are a little quirky.

When you are choosing unusual wall decor, take the time to think about what you really want. For example, are you looking for an abstract painting or metal wall art? Similarly, you should think about where you are planning to put the decor. The chances are you will want very different art for your living room or hallway, than you would want for your bedroom or study. It’s important to really consider your options. Luckily, there is sure to be something that ticks every box. If you are unable to find exactly what you are looking for, you can speak to me about commissions. I regularly complete custom pieces of artwork, in line with the buyer’s personal preferences and tastes. All you need to do is let me know what you need, and I will work closely with you before taking care of the rest.

It’s also a good idea to think about colour schemes, of both your home and the decor itself. Though some people like unusual wall decor to complement their interior design choices, other people prefer them to contrast completely. There is no right or wrong way of doing this, it’s all about personal preference and what works in your home. Colour is also important when it comes to mood, vibe and energy. The colours in a piece of wall decor can create a specific mood within a room, and you should bear this in mind when selecting artwork; yellow and orange are ideal for conveying happiness and joy, whereas blue is much more calming and serene. Of course, you could opt for bold colours such as purple and red.
