We know from Pinterest's top trends for 2018 that oversized art is going to be huge this year, but that's not to say it's not intimidating. But if you're looking for a way to modernise your home, oversized artwork is definitely a quick and easy update you can make, that will make a huge difference to the feel of a room.
We've got some brilliant, handy tips on how best to hang art in your home that talks specifically about not being afraid to go big when you go home (when it comes to your artwork, anyway), and it's for good reason. Carefully curated and well chosen oversized art can become a statement centrepiece for your living room, hall, bedroom, or even if your kitchen if you're feeling brave.
Hang a contrasting piece of art to create a stylish corner in a room, or alternative, for a more relaxed feel, simply lean your art against your wall - but carefully consider the practicality of this choice. Right beside your dining table or in another high traffic area may only lead to disaster, but on a more neutral side wall in your living room, it can add some interest and lend a very modern feel to the space.
And remember, just because it's large and in charge, doesn't mean you are holed into just picking one piece. If you have the wall space, go forth and hang all the oversized art your heart desires. If you've chosen your pieces well and take the time to place them thoughtfully in your space, you're sure to achieve a modern, sophisticated effect.
Take some inspiration from these rooms built around their large art pieces!
