6 Wall Art Ideas That Could Add Essence to Your Home

“Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again.”

There is a reason this quote resonates with most of us. While we are out there all day living busy lives, we know we can come back, relax, and unwind in the comfort of our homes. This is why we can bring in every beautiful, quirky, crazy aspect of our personality and translate them into home décor. Because our homes are extensions of us, they embody our essence. So here are some wall art ideas that can help you wear your heart on your wall, if not your sleeve.

1. Vintage Soul

If you are the type to binge on Downton Abbey and dream of olde worlde Parisian galleries, vintage wall art is the way to go. Pick out photographs or art prints of Victorian monuments or English summer blooms and frame them up in antique metal frames. Neo-Greek or Roman images go well with stressed wood frameworks. Hang them in a beautiful arrangement on your accent wall and watch your home transform into the haven of your dreams.

2. Rustic Charm

If village vibes and the charm of open meadows talk to your soul, you may want to scour the local galleries for paintings of up-and-coming artists who bring this to life. Village scenes, a potter’s wheel, women stringing up jasmine flowers, and mothers braiding their daughter’s hair – a panel work of these images can bring the essence of rustic charm right to your living room. Tribal fabric art may also be a good option as a tapestry wall hanging.

3. Traditional Vibes

A love of traditional arts and themes can be a great inspiration. Look for 3D Jali wall art, a brass frame with tiny bells, or a traditional wall hanging with peacock and elephant motifs to add beauty and tradition to your home decor. Cane basket arrangements or a nail rack with brass ladles and spoons can pique interest in your kitchen and dining areas.

4. Flower Power

Been a rebel all your life? Bring your maverick essence into your living space with some hippie-inspired wall art. The flower power aesthetics of the 1960s were full of bold colours, vibrant patterns, and free-flowing art. Crochet craftwork, Woodstock posters, and hippie-themed wall art can bring this wonderful era into your now and here. Alternatively, you can look for paintings and artwork with neon colours and geometric designs to liven up your living room or study.

5. Green Living

Love of all things clean and clear? Set up a green wall in your home with a pegboard installation. Clear large glass pots or beakers with beautiful creepers or even tiny flowering plants can add a wow factor to your home. It is the essence of natural living, right in the heart of your apartment in a bustling metropolis like Mumbai. That is the definition of an oasis, just what a home is meant to be.

6. Fabric Fun

If you love wearing cotton sarees in block prints and indigenous designs, you must consider taking this love to your walls. Batik or bandej fabrics in brilliant colours can be framed or mounted on a plywood frame and arranged in panels to give your home a cool, vibrant vibe. You can use this DIY project as a hobby and make your home your canvas.

Final Thoughts

Your home is the quintessential embodiment of your aesthetic sensibilities and comfort zone. Let your essence live and thrive in everything you do and how you do up your residence's interiors and décor.
