Wall decor looks very fashionable in modern home interior design. A well chosen and stylish design can actually become a center-piece, and change the look, mood and energy of your home.
Today, interior decorators suggest taking wall art beyond simply pictures and photographs, and more into the abstract. Paintings and graphic designs can all fit within the abstract world, but make sure you know how to match your artwork with the rest of your home.
When choosing the art for your home interior, consider your ceilings height and the size of your room. A larger, taller room is much better fitted for a larger wall design, than a room that has more space.
Style is another main consideration your wall art should be in the same style like the rest of your home. Some people mistakenly mix different styles (e.g. the modern style with the traditional or the country style with the electric) thinking that it will look bold and courageous, when actually it turns out looking awkward and illogical.
You should also take into consideration the function of the room you are choosing the artwork for. There are a lot of nice wall art ideas specifically for kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms and home offices. More eclectic and abstract images look perfect in home offices as they actually help to bring out creativity. Floral and nature themes are just great for your living room and bedroom. Mosaic wall art pieces are best for bathrooms, and fruity or tasty compositions are, obviously, best for kitchens.
Finally, when deciding on wall art themes, choose designs that fit your personality: your personal taste, style and lifestyle.
Make sure you have fun with the wall decor you have chosen! Modern interior design shouldn't be stressful. If you need additional guidance or an opinion, consider looking for a professional interior designer to help you along the way.
