Its So Good to Be Home Wall Art These Bare Walls
A new design mistake coming at you, but information technology's complicated so to really understand information technology nosotros created a formula. Here's what happens: y'all take this one slice of art and you put it on a wall, and you accept this other piece and you put that on another wall. You continue until you deem the room 'washed' and then you look around and wonder why the room doesn't simply sing.
I GOT You. There is a formula, a science in which we apply to consider decorating pieces on ALL 4 walls of a room. To speak in scientific terms, your eye wants to move around at a pace that is both exciting and relaxing. Information technology has to do with variety, keeping information technology interesting and a bit unpredictable, yet giving information technology some negative space and simplicity to at-home it down a bit.
Subsequently staring at years of my/EHD work I realized that we accept a very intentional (yet organic) way of doing this. Here are the options (selection one for each wall):
- One large piece
- Gallery wall
- Grid
- Medium piece
- Diptych
- Mirror
- Stacked pieces
- Something sculptural
- 3 Dimensional, (like a clock)
Hot Tip
Vary the orientation and the medium/type of art of ii pieces adjacent to each other.
That's right – every wall in a room is addressed with a different configuration of art/mirror or sculpture. 2 of whatever of those things next to each other looks competitive and nevertheless redundant. Imagine two gallery walls next to each other? Two large paintings? Two mirrors? 2 grids or diptychs? It seems like of course, you wouldn't do that, and yet I see it over and over mostly because all of us just use what nosotros take and simply hang information technology on the walls in an effort to non have it bare. I GET IT. Nosotros can help.
But since existent-life examples and explanations are almost always improve… Shall I demonstrate? Behold:
Let'southward have the Portland living room for example (let's phone call it Exhibit A). Nosotros have a grid on the fireplace wall, a unmarried horizontal slice, a single vertical piece, and a peek into the open dining room that has a diptych.
Then on the other walls, we have a 'leaning gallery', a blank wall because and so we accept a large vertical leaning in the nook. No mirror or anything 'sculpture' only that's because we accept the sconces that help add together that 3-dimension. See how your eye is never bored and continuously hopping around?
Exhibit B – Our sleeping accommodation in LA. We have for you lot one large 'piece' (the frame Telly), a mirror and I added a ladder which too acts like a 'sculpture' or 3-dimensional piece.
On the other walls, we have one vertical, two stacked pieces that don't match (a mini-gallery), and a triple stacked grid (pretty certain that is a sandwich Brian would like to consume), with a big vertical mirror by the closet (not shown). And YES you tin can have opposing mirrors in one room, just not adjacent to each other.
Exhibit C – In the kid's room we have a gallery wall, a big argument canopy with two smaller pieces that lucifer (a diptych of sorts), a mirror, a kite (iii dimensional), and a sconce (another 3-dimensional piece but more graphic than the kite). Each wall has its own thing going on, but all working together.
Exhibit D – Our old bedroom. A diptych above the bed, a single vertical, oval mirror, 3-dimensional sconces, and a mixed stack (mini-gallery).
This is an instance of multiple mirrors in one room that notwithstanding works. They are close but not on the aforementioned wall:)
Exhibit E – The Portland Family Basement playroom. Here we take a large focal piece next to a big gallery wall, a clock (circular to milk shake it upwardly), and even the swing is the 'art' for that corner, adding dimension.
Showroom F – Emily Bowser's living room. Here nosotros have a triptych (flanked by 3-dimensional sconces), a big round mirror (to break up the squares). And on the other side of the room…
Here you have a vertical mirror, a single horizontal piece, and in the background a sculptural art piece. All different shapes that make this room sing.
Exhibit G – Jess' studio apartment living room. An incredible floor to ceiling gallery wall, with a single vertical piece adjacent to a vertical stick sculpture, with a large mirror and those peg hooks human action like another 3-dimensional sculpture.
Exhibit H – Julie's Bedroom. Julie really nailed it with her array of awesome wall fine art. Commencement, there's that great gallery wall full of iii-D objects correct side by side to the neutral stacked diptych (nice residual). Then she DIYed that single vertical slice between her windows followed by her 'raised off the wall' horizontal triptych. To stop off the space, that long pill mirror. basically something interesting and dissimilar at every turn.
I could continue but it feels right to end on 'H':)
BUT if you are a little overwhelmed here is a great EHD go-to:
Does this answer your burning questions on how to decorate your walls in a unique yet cohesive way? I promise so. I know it can experience really intimidating when you lot are staring at empty walls. But as long as you vary the configurations, calibration, and orientation (while working within a decided color palette, of course) you are probable going to get exactly the room you've been wanting. xx
