The Guide to Transforming Bare Walls: From Empty Canvas to Artistic Statement
Bare wall?
Here’s a guide on solving a bare wall situation with art:
Assess Your Space
- Consider the wall’s dimensions, lighting, and the room’s purpose
- Think about the existing color scheme and decor style
- Note any architectural features that might affect art placement
Choose Your Strategy
- Create a gallery wall with multiple pieces
- Use one large statement piece
- Install a series of coordinated artworks
- Mix different mediums (paintings, photographs, textiles)
Select Appropriate Size
- For large walls, artwork should generally cover 60–75% of the wall space
- Small pieces can be grouped to create an impact
- Consider the furniture placement — art should relate proportionally
