Wall Arts: Perfect For Office Wall Decoration

January 26th, 2010

Your office is your second home. In fact, this is where you spend most of your time in aside from your house. Because of this, it is necessary that you are able to design and decorate your office space in such a way that it will minimize the stress and pressure of workload, and you will be able to have a fun time doing your job.

One of the best ways of spicing up the design of your office space is by decorating it with wall artwork. This is because this type of wall decoration is easy to hang, inexpensive to buy, and it can instantly turn a boring old office wall into something that exudes elegance and style.

Here are some excellent tips on how to spruce up your office space without having to spend an enormous fortune.

1. Keep it simple

You do not need to have an extravagant collection of murals and sculptures to make the walls of your office more beautiful and elegant. Just a few pieces of your best choices of paintings and metal wall artwork will do. After all, it is an office space and not a gallery that you should fill with a large number of artworks.

2. Incorporate your personal taste

Incorporating your personal style in the design of the office space and how you decorate it with wall art is important so that clients and guests will have an idea on what kind of person you are. The right kind of artworks will give the right kind of impression. For example, you should choose elegant metal art pieces if you want to depict power and authority. You should choose brightly colored artworks if you want to portray a positive perspective in life.

3. Choose artworks that will inspire and motivate

It is crucial that you are able to choose pieces of artworks that can inspire and motivate you to do your job well. Different artworks have different effects on people and make sure that the effect on you is always positive.

For example, if a framed photograph of a tropical island inspires you to work more efficiently so you can get the bonus you need to travel, then that would be great. But if a painting of a tranquil scenery makes you want to sleep every time you are in your office then this painting should come down.

4. Buy wall arts online

Buying wall arts online is a great idea especially if you do not have the luxury of time to go from one gallery to another to find the perfect wall decor for your office. In the Internet, you will be bombarded with numerous options on different kinds of artworks like paintings, murals, metal wall artwork and so on.

5. Select the right size, color and style

Make sure the size, color and style fit and complements that of the room so that you will not have a cluttered or awkwardly decorated office space.

The choice of your artworks that you will hang in your office space should spell beauty, style, motivation, inspiration and success all at the same time.

Choosing wall decor for your office space is crucial for you to have a conducive working environment that will motivate and inspire you to work hard.

Decorate your space with affordable Large-format wall art

January 6th, 2010

Paintings have long been the most popular forms of wall art. The high cost involved in acquiring one is testament to this fact. Unfortunately, most of us can’t afford to spend such exorbitant amounts even if we’d like to. How then can we liven up our living space and infuse it with art without emptying out our bank accounts?

The answer lies in modern technology in the form of large-format printing. As with most other aspects of life, advances in technology have managed to bring costs down even in this area. I’m talking about what’s commonly known as canvas printing! As the name itself denotes, it refers to printing of graphics on cotton or plastic based poly canvas.

Large-format printers such as the HP Designjet z6100 and the Epson Stylus Pro 9880 allow you to print on canvas rolls spanning over 60’’ using fade resistant inks. Online canvas printing services can easily take care of this for you. All you need to do is log on to their website, pick the desired size, upload the picture you want printed, preview the upload and order the print. Many such services allow you the option of choosing from sizes up to 55” X 100’’. The price range could stretch from $40 – $160 for sizes between 16” X 20”to 24”X 36”. The money-back guarantee offered by most large-format printing services gives you the freedom to try out their services without undue worry.

Once printed, canvas posters can be mounted either in traditional frames or in the gallery-wrap style.

The most appealing feature of this route to wall decoration is the choice at your disposal. Head to your favorite art gallery to click your favorite painting, or dig out those picturesque snap shots of landscapes from your last vacation or just settle for a jumbo sized version of your loved ones. Now, anything that catches your eye could also become the focal point of your living room!

The Art of Wall Decoration

December 22nd, 2009

Nothing in your home says more about you than the art you have on your wall. The reason for this is unlike your sofa or any other piece of furniture, there are no practicalities to consider when choosing wall art- it is merely a case of what you like. Whether you chose your art for the composition and colours that handily match your room or because it had some personal relevance, everything thing on your wall tells a little story. Therefore it is wise to give a little thought when it comes to choosing some, be a wild and wacky as you want just be sure it feels relevant to you. If a picture of a smoking dog playing pool dominates your front room, what does this say about you? If you have no art at all, are you a blank canvas? The brilliant thing about art is you can go as pricey or as cheap as you want, you can even paint some yourself- it is available to everybody and it still the quickest way to bring some life to a tried old wall. For some Georgian or Victorian splendour, you should really emphasis the frame. A huge oversize guilt frame with shapes that match your cornicing is what you are looking for. Fill it with either traditional country scenes or even better would be a family portrait. Scouring junk shops and markets might just lead to bargain if this is your style so spend an afternoon having a look before you pay top price in art dealers. The huge popularity of the modern-retro look means there is lots of discount wall art around in the style of Pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. The simple compositions of such pieces coupled with the blocks of bright colours mean they are easily the most cost effective way of introducing some flair to a space whilst allowing you to impress your friends with by referencing an important period in art history. Increase the impact for next to nothing by pairing these pieces with a brightly coloured roller blinds. In a minimal setting a clever way to introduce some extremely subtle wall art is to pick a quote by a famous author, poet or great thinker (not Homer Simpson) and print it out in subtle tones such as white lettering with a light grey background and frame it in a simple brushed steel or aluminium frame. If you have ever looked at the work of Picasso or and said “it’s just squiggles, a child could do that” or exclaimed “its just a red and blue box” when taking in the work of Mondrian, then why not purchase a cheap canvas and try it out yourself. This is certainly a more fun route to an interesting collection which also allows you complete control of the finish and colour. Or if you do have any budding Picassos, why not help them create their own wall art for their bedrooms. You never know they could end up being worth a fortune, and if not they will certainly be treasured by you for many years.
