Unique Wall Art Ideas

You’re probably not the type of person who likes to walk into another home and find same wall grouping that you display in your family room. But, if you purchase your wall décor in groupings that are mass marketed in sets, the chances are good that it will happen to you.

Wall décor doesn’t have to be limited to framed pictures and paintings or shelf displays. A three dimensional wall sculpture brings interest, color and texture into your home.  There is a wide selection of unique wall sculptures that can be found online.  With so many options, a wall sculpture that is unique to your interests and that also fit it with the overall theme of your décor will be easily found if you keep your eyes open as you browse.

Mirrors reflect more than what is placed opposite of them. They make great decorative wall art.  Frames and insets bring a unique interest to the wall they are displayed on, as well as giving the illusion of more space and light to the room.

An often overlooked element of wall décor is stained glassStained glass is not just for windows and lampshades.  Hand crafted stained glass panels can be hung on any wall and will make an area uniquely yours.

Quick Tips for Outdoor Wall Décor

One way to enhance the appearance of your outdoor décor is to focus on your outdoor walls.  Here are a few ideas:

1.  Put metal window boxes beneath your windows and fill them with flowers or plants.

2.  Become a fan of Greenmen.  No this isn't some rival to the Blue Man Group.  Greenmen is a centuries old art style first used in churches.   The best way to describe it is that it is a sculpture of a face surrounded by leaves, branches or vines.  Rather than describing it, it is easier to look at the pictures.  These things may be an acquired taste but they really are unique décor.

3.  Attach a large address marker to an outdoor wall personalized with your address.  Or if you prefer, get a lawn stake and display it in your front yard. 

4.  Get a weathervane.  This may sound odd, but weathervanes aren't just for farms anymore.  They are beautifully sculpted pieces of art.

5.  Go for broke – Get a dragon or gargoyle wall hanging.  They lay flat so that they look like they are crawling up your house.

Last Minute Gift Ideas

If you are not sure what to get someone how about something for their office?  Whether it is an office in a building or a home office, something to brighten up the place is always appreciated. 

Office décor is often overlooked. Many people are too busy working to worry about what their surroundings look like.  But when it is time to take a break a unique item or two can help to clear the head.  Go from the reality of work to the fantasy of dragons with our Realm of the Dragon Orb Set. Looking at two orbs with a one-headed and two-headed dragon on top has the magical ability to refocus you. 

Instead of the normal pictures, try three dimensional wall art featuring two battle ready knights finished in gold and silver.  Transporting yourself back to medieval days even just for a moment can be very cathartic.
 
If you don’t need the mystical powers of dragon orbs or the inspiration of knights then a set of bulldog bookends can brighten up a collection of books. They are made of authentic designer resin to capture every detail.
