THE 8 BEST WALL ART TRENDS TO TRY OUT

Wall art is as timeless as the concept of a home. With the sheer variety and tastes available in the world of home decor, it’s impossible to just pick one style, isn't it? This is why knowing the latest trends in the world of wall art is important. In fact, I have compiled a list of them. Read on and give your walls the trendiest makeover.

THE GALLERY WALL

If you have a variety of wall art that you want to display together like souvenirs, photos, paintings, prints, and portraits, consider arranging these pieces in a gallery wall display. The gallery wall is an awesome way to arrange pictures that are otherwise disparate, to convey an overall unified message or statement. Build around a focal point and you'll end up with a sophisticated portrait of your individuality. This kind of wall art is an eclectic statement about someone's unique personality. Go for this trend.

BOLD ABSTRACTS

If your room demands a large scale statement that's also subtle and vague, the Bold abstract is an awesome option. Styled in bold and often bright hues, bold abstracts can blend lots of little pieces into a unified presentation. This breed of wall art is perfect for those who love to make a grand entrance. So bring this home and gear up to steal the spotlight!

LINE DRAWINGS

Line drawings are making quite a comeback. Taking inspiration from Picasso and Matisse, line drawing wall art makes a minimalist statement and is perfect for those who appreciate classic minimalism. These are drawn with black lines on a white / cream background. Despite their minimalism, line drawings make a dramatic visual impact on any space that it fills.

EARTH TONES

I think it goes without saying that conscious living and eco-friendly practices are effectively taking over the popular psyche. In that respect, art with Earth Tones is right on the money! Nature lovers tend to gravitate towards the colors of Earth and Sky - Ground Brown, Tree Beige, Sky Blue and Grass Green. Go for these Earth tones if you're looking for a subtle and soothing statement.

ECLECTIC COLLAGES

If you want something a bit more expressive and engaging than the styles mentioned above. Go for Eclectic collages. The mixture of different media and materials creates a surreal and eye-grabbing statement. It's very expressive in its imperfection.

BOTANICALS

The themes of flora and fauna in the art are still going strong. If you're into these, then Naturalist prints are perfect for you. You can never go wrong with flowers and plants. They make a refreshing impact on the living space and are quite easily accessible.

BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY

The idea of 'Less color, big impact' is trendy as ever. The monochromatic feel of Black and white photography will make a dramatic statement in any room. For the more introspective people, the contrast between black and white tones is evocative of the dualities of life - Love and hate, war and peace or good/bad. Whether you are a fashion aficionado, a fan of classic cinema, a lover of visual arts or a student of photography, no art will be more perfect than Black and white photography.

CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

Why not go for a mix of Black & White and color photography? The undying appreciation for philosophy and surrealism has resulted in the rise of fine art photography and visual storytelling through photo manipulation. This is one way to express yourself and give your wall a timeless look.

So, try out these ideas for your home. In fact, you can pick different ideas for different rooms. Who knows, maybe you’ll come up with an unexplored look for your living space.
