Whether you’re looking to brighten up a space, add a splash of colour, or make a statement to your guests, perhaps a larger print is the right fit for you. Big works of art make a great accessory to any room, but they aren’t necessarily always overwhelming. A larger print can be the finishing touch that you're looking for, making a room feel more homely and welcoming.
Larger prints can be used to enhance your existing decor or completely transform a room, but one thing is for certain: bigger prints need to be displayed in a space where they can be appreciated fully. Using a large print above the bed or fireplace is an effective way to frame the space, drawing the eye and creating a focal point in the room. Larger prints are also great for entryways. As this part of the house is the first thing people experience as they walk through the door, this sets the design tone for the rest of the house. If you’re looking to make a statement to your guests, this is where you should place a bold work of art.
Here are five of our favourite oversized prints and tips for styling big art in the home.
It’s a common misconception that art of a certain size is overwhelming, but this stunning print by Emma Reynolds proves that is not the case. This calming London landscape featuring the river Thames is perfect for the bedroom or living room, adding to the relaxed atmosphere of these spaces. The subtle nature of this piece is advantageous when you already have a busy interior, yet you still want to introduce art into your home. The simple colour palette allows for Emma’s landscape to interact with other elements in the room such as a coloured sofa or rug, but the print still has the ability to stand on its own and not cause any clashes.
