Read on to learn about some popular wall art trends in 2021 and update your space so that it reflects your tastes.
Stay Traditional With Framed Prints or Add a Gallery
A framed print is a traditional option that appeals to everyone. Fine Art America offers more than 150 frame options for art prints, so you’ll be able to find a style that suits your décor. Frames are hand-crafted of metal or wood. Metal frames can add a sharper, more modern feel to a framed print, while wooden frames look a bit rustic and have a warmer feel to them. Thanks to hundreds of varieties of frames and mats, you can create virtually any look you want.
Framed print galleries are a popular trend. You may consider turning some vacant wall space into a gallery. A selection of floral or still life framed prints could help liven up an otherwise bland wall. The hallway, for example, is often overlooked. Installing a gallery can transform this space into a more engaging, attention-grabbing area of the home or office. You can even put your own work on display by uploading your best artwork and having it printed and framed, designing your own custom art piece.
Create Focal Points With Framed and Unframed Canvas Prints
Canvases are elegant and simple, and large canvas prints can help create a focal point in a room. Canvas prints are very popular, low cost, and ideal for any wall space. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are easy to mount to your wall. If desired, you can also place them in frames. Metal or wooden floater frames can improve the appearance of canvas prints and help them stand out.
Framed and unframed canvas prints might come in glossy or matte finishes. Canvas prints with a glossy finish have a similar texture to oils on canvas, whereas matte canvases look soft and more original. Canvases are made with wrapped sides; the edges of prints are black, white, or mirrored. Mirrored side wraps look like a reflection of the outer edges of the print. You can customize everything about your canvas print, including the design when browsing Fine Art America’s catalog.
Calm Rooms With Earthy Wood Prints
If you’re trying to bring warmth to a space in a creative way, wood prints are a great choice. Earth tones are popular right now, so this option is particularly trendy in 2021. The texture and grain of the wood adds a warm tone to an artwork printed on its surface. When paired with images of nature, wood prints can feel especially calming and add a rustic ambiance to a room.
Fine Art America wood prints are printed on 3/4-inch-thick sheets of maple wood. This option is more durable than other types of wall art, and wood is definitely more unique than traditional wall décor like framed prints and canvases. Wood is also less expensive than a traditional framed print.
Try Metal Prints to Give the Space a Modern Feel
If you want a modern look or just something cool and different, metal prints may be the solution for you. They are sleek and stunning and help all artwork stand out especially photographs. Metal prints are great for decorating business spaces, but they also look nice inside a home.
Metal prints are printed on 1/16-inch-thick sheets of aluminum. They are in the same price range as canvases and framed prints, but metal prints are far more durable. They are also lightweight and water-resistant and come ready-to-hang. You can add frames and mats to your metal print to give it a different feel.
Decorate With Posters to Save Money
Posters are among the most affordable kinds of wall art, but they are also the least durable, so be mindful of this when choosing where to hang them. If you want museum-quality art but can’t afford canvas prints for every room, Fine Art America’s posters are an ideal option for adding personality to any room for an affordable price.
You may be surprised how easily a few posters can liven up a space. Posters are printed on thin paper, so they can be hung up easily with some tape or thumbtacks. However, you could mat and frame posters to add a finished look (and better preserve them).
Add a Landscape Tapestry to Your Space
Tapestries have a different feel than other types of wall art. They’re somewhat less static and also very affordable and easy to clean. Hang them vertically or horizontally, depending on the design, which allows you to be far more creative with how you display a tapestry compared to other types of art.
Fine Art America tapestries are printed on lightweight microfiber material. These tapestries come hemmed at the edges and include a pre-punched hole in each corner for easy mounting. They can be hung up with nails or thumbtacks.
Unlike other types of wall art, tapestries are easily cleaned. You can take them down, wash them in a machine with cold water, and return them to the wall without damaging your artwork. Landscape tapestries are trendy and ideal for adding warmth to large living spaces.
Let Your Art Speak for You
Wall art can capture attention and spark conversation. Posters, framed prints, and canvas prints are traditional and affordable options. Meanwhile, tapestries and wood prints can give a warm feel to a room. Wood prints can also provide a rustic touch. Metal prints are more modern and can lend a futuristic vibe to a room.
Your artwork speaks for you, so consider your choices carefully. If you’re ready to liven up or calm down your indoor environment with museum-quality art, browse Fine Art America’s wide selection today.
