It's Never Too Big!

A very large piece of art can help an ordinary room look and feel extraordinary. A large poster or fine art original makes a statement, creates drama and can become the focal point of a room. Chosen properly, it can bring the decor to life and give your space a unique personality without looking out of place or dwarfing the room.

Oversized art can have a great effect in any room of your home. Any large wall can potentially accommodate a piece of oversized art. Don’t be afraid to use larger pieces in living and dining spaces, bedrooms, or hallways and foyers.

Illusion of More Space

In this relatively small seating area, the art gives the space personality and actually makes the room feel larger. Much like adding another window, it opens up and expands the room. In the evening, the attached picture lights enhance the illusion of space. The picture also accentuates the colors of the furniture and decorative accents, and creates a relaxing, restful environment.

Create a Backdrop

This example illustrates the dramatic effect that large art can have in a larger space. The light colored abstract painting creates a stunning backdrop for the contemporary furnishings and helps to brighten an otherwise dark corner. Like the example above, the art repeats colors that are already present in the room.

Focal Point

A single piece of beautiful art creates more drama than multiple smaller pieces by drawing your eye to one central area. This art was carefully chosen to enhance the tranquil and rejuvenating feel of the bedroom. Restful to the eye, this bedroom is a terrific example of how art can set the tone of the room.

Drama and Mood

 

Finally, this side-by-side example illustrates how a hallway, entryway or foyer can benefit from unique oversized fine art. The pieces shown above seem out of scale for their location, but are completely well-suited to the spaces they occupy. They provide mood and personality while welcoming those who pass through to the main rooms with a lasting visual impression.
