If you’ve ever tackled a room renovation in your home, you’ll know that the finishing touches can make all the difference.
The right accessory, task lighting or wall art can take your project to the next level, and make a room feel coherent and welcoming.
Wall art is one of the easiest ways to achieve that ‘finished’ look. It’s so versatile, and you can use it in lots of different ways to complement your personal interior style. It’s also super-easy to find the perfect piece with online wall art retailers like Desenio.

Create a focal point
Interior designers love to create a focal point in a room, and for good reason.
Drawing the eye to a particular feature in a room is a simple way to create impact and communicate the style of the whole space. It’s also a clever way to distract from less-than-lovely features.
Wall art is ideal for use as a focal point. If you’ve ever walked into a room and been instantly drawn to a bold piece of wall art, this is what we’re talking about here. It’s also a relatively simple and low-cost way to really make a statement in your home.
Create a sense of ‘home’
A room with bare walls always tends to feel ‘unfinished’. Wall art can solve this problem, taking a space from impersonal to welcoming with just a few well-placed frames.
If you like the minimalist style of interior design, you can still use wall art to give a room a lived-in feel. Clean lines, geometric shapes and a limited colour palette in your wall art will complement the rest of your decor, while still adding character and depth.
Make a statement
We’ve touched on this already with focal point. Wall art is a fantastic option when it comes to really making a statement in your home.
Bold colours, supersized prints, textured canvases and impactful images all punch above their weight when it comes to impact.
Another easy way to make a statement is to create a gallery wall. If you’re a little daunted by this, Desenio has lots of inspiring designs and a gallery wall tool to help you.
Provide contrast and texture
A room that’s decorated in similar colours can lack depth and texture. You can use wall art to plug these gaps without changing the whole space.
For example, a pop of colour in your wall art will contrast really well with a muted or monochrome colour scheme, and a textured canvas or high-gloss frame will provide depth against other materials in the room, making the space feel more dynamic.
Impact on mood
It’s no surprise that the things we can see within our home have a significant impact on our mood and our wellbeing. Once again, wall art can play a key role here.
By surrounding yourself with colours, images, furniture and accessories that you love, you can create a home that fills you with joy and cultivates positive emotions.
You may like those emotions to vary depending on the room. For example, calming colours and wall art are ideal in a bedroom, while a study is perfect for stimulating colours and motivational quotes.
Reflect your personality
Last but not least, how about using your wall art as an extension of your personality?
The way we decorate our homes speaks volumes about who we are. Using wall art that has a personal meaning allows you to tell your story, and live in a space that is a reflection of who you are. This can also deliver those mood-boosting benefits we talked about earlier.
