OUR TOP 9 WALL ART PICKS
Livingetc knows design.
BEST STATEMENT ART
Size: 20 x 28in – unframed
This print is eye-catching in both its design and message. Use it to brighten up an unloved corner – it'll never fail to give you a little boost when you're feeling least inspired.
Size: 26 x 31in – unframed
And the beauty of this print lies in its unrestrained honesty. As with all Painting in the Rude pieces, this print strikes a beautiful balance between classic vintage art and modern painted typography – all brought together with a sprinkling of humor.
Size: 29 x 40in – framed
IMO, the best pieces of statement wall art are the ones that will never fail to make houseguests do a double take. This surrealist piece is the perfect example.
BEST MINIMALIST ART
Size: 36 x 72in each – framed
These framed prints feature a neutral geometric pattern theme in tonal shades that would suit a neutral aesthetic beautifully. Style them together or dotted around a room to keep the theme consistent throughout your space.
Size: 20 x 28in – unframed
Minimalism doesn’t have to mean ‘lacking in color’. This green print has an undeniably minimalist feel with its simple-yet-striking color block design. It'll add a stylish pop of color to an otherwise neutral space.
Size: 40 x 54in – framed
And if you'd prefer to keep things monochrome, this piece features a raised ruffle design which will add texture and dimension while staying true to the tonal aesthetic. It stands out effortlessly, in the way a neutral flat print would struggle to.
BEST COLORFUL ART
Size: 18 x 24in – framed
I love the bright block colors featured in this print. The painted design feels both modern and rustic at the same time, meaning it'll suit basically any style of decor.
Size: 8 x 10in – framed
And this Matisse coral leaf print is the perfect mix of classic and modern style. The bright color pop would make a welcome addition to a plain spot on your wall.
Size: 49 x 69in – framed
Finally, this beautifully chaotic painted canvas print will add an explosion of color to your decor. It does all the hard statement-making work so you don't have to!
HOW CAN I MAKE MY WALL ART STAND OUT?
If you prefer to maintain a minimalist vibe throughout the rest of your home, wall art is one of the easiest decor areas in which to get a little creative and really make a statement. We’ve shown above how it’s pretty easy to make your artwork stand out – even if you chose to keep your pieces within the minimal aesthetic – through the introduction of texture and color.
Contrasting style within your art pieces (e.g. vintage and modern) is another great way to make your wall art stand out. Painting in the Rude’s prints are a perfect example of this, where a classic vintage base painting is juxtaposed with the more modern tongue-in-cheek text detail – bold in both color and underlying message. You can also choose prints with a mix of classic and modern styles to achieve the same eye-catching effect.
So when choosing wall art that you want to stand out, try to think outside of the box. Don’t be afraid of a little contrast in color and tone – after all, as well as being pleasing to the eye, the best art pieces are meant to encourage thoughtful conversations!
