Decorating with Metal Wall Art

Why choose metal wall art?

Metal art has a certain luster to it that you can’t find anywhere else. It has a physicality, an intense amount of texture, and even colors that pop in a way that canvas cannot allow. While canvas can be used to fit a variety of decors, it can’t touch the same spaces that metal can. Metal art fits very well into rustic spaces, more industrial or utilitarian decor, and even some modern layouts that blend different styles together.

Because of the construction, you’re getting delightfully textured two-dimensional pieces to hang, as well as three-dimensional choices with an amazing sense of presence. Canvas art is obviously flat but these metal pieces often lift off the wall in some way, which can cast some strange and beautiful shadows across your room at the right time of day. With Kohl’s selection of metal wall art, you’re sure to find something that can complement your decor nicely.

How to decorate with metal wall art

Before you learn more about the types of metal art you can get at Kohl’s, it’s important to understand how to organize your decor. In order to do your wall art justice, consider the size and shape. If it’s too big, it could prove a distraction from the rest of your space. On the other hand, if it’s too small it may not have much of an effect at all. However, size isn’t all that matters, but also placement. Let’s say you have an accent wall, and you have a small piece to hang. Placing it on the accent wall (assuming the colors work) could be a wonderfully stark idea. Also consider the number of items you want, and the number you already have.

Part of decorating the space is figuring out how to make the elements fit together. Perhaps hanging several small pieces on proximity to each other will create a cool collage effect. Depending on the style you’ve chosen for your space, your metal wall art could blend in well with the rest of the room, helping guide the eye to whatever the focal point is. But you can also use other textures, if you have wood or canvas, to really make the metal aspects stand out. Whichever way you decide to decorate, you’ll have to figure out which kind of art you want to display.

Floral art

Floral art can give your space a delicate and regal touch. Many of these designs are great for rustic and more homey spaces. Your most universally usable art is going to be the flat (or mostly) branch style art that will span a significant portion of the wall. These feature mostly neutral colors with muted shades of non-neutral colors that will allow them to fit with most rooms.

If you’re looking for something more bold, definitely consider the pieces that either have a three-dimensional element, or are fully three-dimensional. They’ll catch the eye better, and can create an amazing sense of depth in the room from different angles. With that kind of difference, they’re bound to become your centerpiece conversation starters.

Outdoor art

Another great feature of metal art is that it’s better equipped to deal with the elements. If you have a large enough deck with fence attached, or even an outdoor wall, you can decorate the space with metal art. Styling for outside is not nearly as indoors, especially because your outdoor space usually doesn’t have a themed decor to work around. Instead, you can find something that catches your eye, and count on probably looking pretty good. A handful of pieces should go a long way to making your outdoor lounging space nicer to be in.

Large art

Larger pieces can take several different forms. Some may be abstract pieces, and others may be more typographic and inspirational. Depending on the space you’re putting these in, make sure that they become the centerpiece of the room. Too much clutter will devalue their presence, and potentially make the space overwhelming. With that said, if you’re going for an eclectic look then creating a busy wall with a large piece of metal art in the middle could be just what you need!
