Too often in interior design, we see wall art treated as an afterthought. It's what gets dealt with last, long after the final coat of paint has dried on the walls and all of the furniture has been artfully arranged if it gets dealt with at all. But, we're here to argue that by relegating wall art to the sidelines, you're missing out on an amazing design opportunity. When chosen thoughtfully, the right wall art can provide for the entire room. Dare we say it, but we think wall art matters most in interior design.
Think about some of the less-than-put-together interiors that you've seen. Perhaps a college apartment or a first adult space after finishing school. Odds are that these spaces felt a little rough around the edges and a little unfinished. Odds are that they also had mostly white walls. Wall art is that finishing element that can help pull a space together and make it feel complete. It is that little extra touch that can take your space from simply looking functional to appearing as if it should grace the pages of an interior design magazine. The key is to choose a piece of art or another wall hanging that fits in with the decorating style that you've already chosen for the room. After that, it's all about choosing decor that you love and will be happy seeing hang on your wall for many years to come.
