Nothing adds life to a room faster than pieces inspired by the sun.  However, finding sun pieces that are wide and tall enough not be dwarfed by a large wall is difficult.  Instead of using circular pieces, hang panels for the wall’s decor.  Some of the most inspired artwork, like the ones below, are created using a series of panels.

Choosing Trees for Wall Decor

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

There are many different styles and varieties of trees available for wall decor.  If you are considering adding a tree presence to your room, there are a couple of factors to consider before purchasing a metal art piece.  Use the tips below to get you started.

Tree Size

The first thing that needs to be considered is the size of the room.  If the walls are long and uncluttered, a panel piece like the Turbulent Tree Contemporary Wall Art Set of 4yhst-23119701400359_2111_9912401 would be ideal, as it covers 66-inches of space.  If the space where the tree will be hung is smaller, a more petite piece like the Family Photo Tree 3D Metal Wall Hangingyhst-23119701400359_2114_44872438 might work better.  Choose a piece that fits the wall space for the best look.

Tree Style

Decide if you would like a traditional tree like the Symmetrical Life Tree Metal Wall Decor piece or something more tropical or modern.  A great tropical piece that is also fun and whimsical is the three foot wide Swaying Palms Brass Metal Wall Decor.  It is graceful in design and textured for visual appeal.  If the room is already decorated, select a tree style that compliments that decor.

Whether you select palm tree metal wall decor or something more traditional or abstract, the tree artwork should enhance the look of the room.  After considering the size and style needed, research the choices available.  When the right tree is chosen it will be a beautiful addition to any room.

Choosing Circular Sun Art for Decorating

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Not many wall art pieces are designed with a circular shape in mind.  One of the most common themes for pieces that bear the circle shape is that of the sun.  Unique and modern, these circular metal sun wall art beauties add majesty and vitality to any room’s decor.  Selecting the perfect piece for the room’s redesign can be the most challenging part of incorporating into the decor.

Abstract Beauty

For modern and contemporary rooms, abstract art is ideal.  The Orb of the Sun Abstract Metal Wall Sculpture is one of those unique pieces that seems to pulsate with life.  The vibrant red and swirling gold lines give the appearance of vitality and energy.  This metal work of art is over two feet in diameter and has a depth of two inches.  It is big, bold, modern and circular.

Oriental Inspiration

The Large Yin Yang Metal Sun Wall Decor is the epitome of Asian inspiration in wall sculptures.  It features a large, golden sun in the center that is surrounded by delicate spokes.  Its unique, handmade quality ensures that no two pieces are the same.  At over 30-inches, this dynamic piece is the perfect Oriental inspired circular design.

Choose circular art that matches the look and feel of the room’s other decor.  Although the Oriental inspired piece may catch your eye, if the room is more traditionally furnished it will not look right.  Have fun with circles and enjoy the energy and life that a circular sun wall art sculpture can add to your home.

Modern Decorating with Fish

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

When designing a modern room, it can be challenging to add representations of natural elements into the room’s design.  Fish decor is often one of the most difficult designs to add in, because many art pieces and accessories are either too realistic or too whimsical for contemporary decor.  Thankfully, the Set of Four Metallic Angel Fish Metal Wall Artyhst-23119701400359_2112_50245113 pieces are ideal for modern decorating.

Measuring in at an even 19-inches high by 19-inches wide, these cool colored metal art pieces are perfectly designed.  Equipped with a pre-attached bracket on the back side, each fish is easy to hang and looks good grouped or individually.  Blue, silver and gold are the main metallic colors on these unique fish art pieces.  The bold, yet cool coloring, is in line with colors commonly used in modern decorating.

What makes these tropical fish metal wall decor pieces so ideal is that they are rich in detail, but modern and simplistic in design.  Subtle waving texture on the fish bodies and fins creates a feeling of movement and grace.  This understated beauty in the metal design is very contemporary.

When decorating a modern home, do not rule out fish wall decor as an option simply because it often times comes in inappropriate styles for the contemporary decor.  Pieces like the Set of Four Metallic Angel Fish Metal Wall Art are great examples of fish decor with a modern twist.  Old school fish decor has now been updated with new school hipness and contemporary design.
