Achieve The Perfect Accent Wall Art

The first step is to select the ideal wall. Here are 3 top tips for choosing the best wall for your fine art photography prints:

• Look For Symmetry: A symmetrical wall makes it easier to hang art in a way that feels balanced.
• Prime Location: Choose an accent wall that’s one of the first you see when entering the room.
• Complement, Don't Clash: Ensure your accent wall art complements the color scheme and aesthetic of your space.

Selecting The Best Accent Wall Art

After choosing the wall, it's time to select the perfect photography prints:

• Define The Style: Start by considering the room's function. For example, rustic decor might benefit from landscapes and nature photography, while living rooms or offices could be enhanced by something edgier and more creative.
• Size and Proportions: Selecting the size of your framed photography print is crucial for maintaining visual balance on the wall. Our Epic or Bon Viveur size prints are excellent for filling larger spaces and creating a strong appeal, working especially well above couches. Meanwhile, Explorer or Adventurous sizes are perfect for nightstands or desks, offering a stylish touch without overwhelming the space.
• Choose Subject: Our curated collection features a variety of themes, including pieces that evoke calm and serenity, as well as others that add elements of intrigue and creativity.

Creating A Balanced Look

Make sure all frames are level to maintain a professional appearance, so that your accent wall art looks intentional and polished. You can opt to mix and match different themes while maintaining consistency in color, shared motifs, or similar styles. Keeping frames about 2-3 inches apart will avoid overcrowding the space. Also, keep in mind that horizontal formats work well over couches and beds, as they cover the wider shape of these pieces of furniture, while vertical formats are ideal for narrower walls. Finally, consider the lighting, as it can enhance the impact of your accent wall art.

Personal Choices

Your accent wall art should enhance the atmosphere of your interiors. To select the perfect piece, view fine art photography as a timeless investment and choose something that resonates with you.
