Wall art is a category that covers a wide variety of artwork – everything from paintings to macrame hangings to resin pieces can adorn your walls. Wall art is an essential part of interior decorating and choosing the right pieces can brighten up a room or add a cozy, comforting atmosphere. With so many kinds of wall art to choose from, trying to select a few favorites quickly becomes an overwhelming task. To make it a bit easier, here are 8 fantastic wall ideas that will work perfectly in any home. 

1. Original Paintings

Original paintings are wonderful because they are an authentic creation of the artist rather than being an imitation or a reproduction. In addition to being entirely unique, they are also something you can take a special pride in owning! Having an original piece that you can marvel at every day will not only improve your move, but it will also add a little something special to whichever room it is displayed in. 

ShabsougArt has a number of original works available, and they are all bursting with colourful, energetic expressiveness. Trinity is a mixed media piece on canvas, a visually striking contemporary abstract piece that will be an attention-grabber in whatever room it’s in.

2. A Statement Resin Piece

Resin artwork can vary in so many ways due to the materials used, along with the way it dies. The combined use of pigments, dyes, mica powder, and foil can create some truly breathtaking pieces that would bring brightness and joy to those observing them.

“Horizons”  is a resin wall art piece created by WildArt that evokes a sense of bright energy. Made with two layers of epoxy resin, the blue and pink shades are incredibly vibrant and cheery. This is the perfect piece for a living room, a study, or a bedroom, and is sure to strike up a conversation whenever a guest sees it!

3. Positive Affirmations

Given how trying life can be sometimes, we sometimes need to be reminded how much we matter and that things will get better. Tastefully done positive affirmation pieces can go a long way toward helping our mental health at home, reminding us of all the good in our lives.

Lulibell Studio’s “Life is Tough” print serves as a cute and delightful reminder that we’re all strong enough to take on whatever gets thrown our way. It’s also a versatile piece of art – it can be hung on a wall but looks just as great displayed on a mantle, shelf, bookcase, or desk. Strategically position it in a location that’s easy to see so that on those tough days when you need a reminder, you’ll be able to take its message to heart. 

4. A Family Portrait

Family portraits are an obvious choice for wall art in any home, but why not try a unique twist on the idea by having your family painted instead of photographed?

Brisbane artist Epiwrites offers beautiful and personalised handmade custom watercolour portraits that will make a cozy, heartwarming addition to any wall space. These pieces are done with expert skill and will include whatever custom lettering you wish, done in impeccable calligraphy. 

5. A Place to Remember

Some of the best memories we accumulate through life will center around certain locations we visited for various events. A painting or professional photograph of such a place will serve as a pleasant reminder of happy occasions and bring joy whenever we look upon it. 

La Source Australia has a beautiful limited edition fine art print of the Sydney Opera House being visited by both a cockatoo and a kingfisher, perching on lovely blossoms native to Australia. The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and will be hand-signed and numbered by the artist. 

6. A Macrame Masterpiece

Sometimes the missing element in a room that is looking bland or spartan is a bit of texture, and a good remedy for that is an exquisitely handmade macrame wall hanging. Carefully created with attention to detail, these wall hangings bring a sense of rustic coziness to any space. 

Lorna & Lila Macrame’s TASSEL macrame wall hanging is made from Australian cotton and locally sourced rustic wood, and will serve as both a statement piece and a conversation starter! 

7. A Milestone Marker

Most milestones are worth commemorating, which is why we frame and display our diplomas, degrees, certificates, and so on. These bring fond memories as well as a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when viewing, and can go a long way to making us feel happier with ourselves and our lives.

Yukata.Ya offers a fun, playful twist on the traditional wedding displays with their beautiful Japanese style personalised origami bride and groom display. Inspired by Japan’s Girls Festival, this piece features hand-picked chiyogami papers imported from Japan, and each part is painstakingly hand-folded. The finished product is displayed in a black 3D frame. This is a unique twist on typical wedding keepsakes and would look lovely on any room in your house.

8. Something To Brighten Any Room

Sometimes what a room needs most is a tasteful infusion of bright colours to bring vibrancy and energy to a room. Being surrounded by colours we find appealing can bring us a sense of quiet happiness and soothe our frayed nerves.

Sydney InSights’ Melting Reds and Cornflower Blues Art Print evokes a warm, carefree summery feeling with its depiction of flowers on a hazy day. This will bring a comforting infusion of colour whether displayed on a wall or mantle. 

Perfect Art for Any Home

No matter the space you are looking to decorate, there are many options to choose from that can add light, joy, and mood. Take the time to find a wall art piece that truly resonates with you to transform your living area into a place you love to be.
