Three-dimensional art can be defined as both art that appears to have depth and art that is actually created using materials like steel, clay or wood. The latter is a popular option when decorating walls because it pops in ways that typical paintings and photographs can't.
Decorating with 3D Art:
- Choose a medium. Materials
are the key to finding multidimensional art that fits into your
aesthetic.
Materials:
-
Steel: Art made from pieces of painted steel that
is formed together like a collage offers a rustic look that works well
with rich colors and heavy furniture. The weightless look of thin steel
usually contrasts nicely with oversized sofas and sturdy tables.
-
Wood: Using wood to create structured pieces of art
will give it a natural vibe that can fit into both contemporary and
classic homes. For art with a little depth, look for paintings on solid
wood panels. If you like more texture, find wood art made from pieces of
wood that are painted and layered on top of each other.
-
Plastic or clay: Art made from materials like
plastic or clay typically looks like a mini sculpture that you can hang
on the wall. This type of art often works well with modern decor. Look
for lacquered pieces in a bright color to liven up a plain room.
-
Steel: Art made from pieces of painted steel that
is formed together like a collage offers a rustic look that works well
with rich colors and heavy furniture. The weightless look of thin steel
usually contrasts nicely with oversized sofas and sturdy tables.
-
Place it over a piece of
furniture. Art with three-dimensional layers sticks out from the
wall enough to occasionally snag clothing or scrape skin if you
accidentally brush against it. By placing this type of art over a piece
of furniture, you eliminate the risk of damage to your clothing, the
wall and your artwork.
-
Use proper wall support.
Since it is typically made with more materials than a standard framed
painting, textured wall art can be heavier than the art you are used to
hanging. To make sure that the art will stay in place without damaging
your walls, first use a stud finder to determine the best place to hang
the support hardware and then make sure to use wall anchors to hold the
nails or screws firmly in place.
- Consider lighting. Art that features texture gives you a chance to play with lighting and create dramatic effects. For instance, placing a lamp on a table below your art can project the shapes upward, while wall sconces hung on either side will enhance the grooves and lines of your 3D art.
