How displaying modern farmhouse wall art can create stunning visual appeal in your home.
Using decorative wall art is an ideal way to bring more visual interest into your living space. A single room usually contains at least one major focal point in its design. Providing additional wall art amplifies your home appeal with artistic components complimenting your existing focal point. Why not add a little more wow factor to impress your guests with some modern farmhouse decor?
Using Modern Farmhouse Wall Art to Amplify Aesthetics
SPACE FILLER
Wall artwork has an exceptional knack for filling up a large blank space. Unless your home is made of all windows, chances are you have quite a few black spaces staring at you. Soften that empty wall and embellish your home like icing on a cake. The right piece of modern farmhouse art can pull your space together and complete the desired look.
SPICE UP THE BORING
How many of us have an ugly TV wall in our living room with nothing on it but that ginormous screen? Using art around a TV will spice up that boring screen wall in no time. We added simple farmhouse artwork to the TV walls in our bonus room and it definitely makes the room more inviting.
You can also add flair to a neutral wall by choosing decorative wall art with color or patterns. I opted for wood frames to embrace the rustic, but chose art with a more contemporary style. Choosing art with clean lines or abstract images is a great way to incorporate a modern vibe into your large wall space.
ADJUSTABLE
How many times have you regretted putting up something in your home that is fairly permanent or hard to change? One of the best ways that artwork is awesome for home decor is the fact that it is so easy to swap out. Having decor that is adjustable is ideal for changing room themes, different seasons or straight up style preference.
In my daughter's bathroom, we added affordable art that can easily be changed out. I love the neutral tones of the wooden frame that attribute to the rustic farmhouse style, but you can also use a metal frame. We added abstract prints in black and white to combine contemporary decor style with the farmhouse look.
SHOWCASE YOUR LOVED ONES
The art you choose doesn't always have to be paintings or decor. One of my favorite pieces of wall art is to showcase our family. From individual shots to candid fun photos, having your favorite people on display is a classy way to cover your wall, while still incorporating modern farmhouse decor.
And since we have extra space for wall hangings I also used family pictures in my built-in entertainment area in my family room. Just a few photos of our family is a nice way to showcase in any built-in wall nook. Adding a light fixture above helps to create a modern focal point on any feature walls you want to display.
USE MODERN FARMHOUSE WALL ART FOR GALLERY WALLS
Decorative artwork is a great choice to display in a gallery wall. I love the collage of art prints that sit on the wall above our dining room table. Gallery walls are fun design concepts when you have large walls. With a large space like this it is often cheaper to use several smaller prints instead of purchasing one huge piece of artwork.
You also get a lot more variety in your art choice when you opt for several pieces instead of one. I love the sleek modern frames with the different picture varieties. A mixture of classic country style landscapes, vintage scenery and character prints in a neutral color palette are fitting for this modern farmhouse-style interior.
Here are a few ideas on gallery walls that include a variety of art and decor.
MIRROR BACKDROP
Wall art is great for using as a backdrop on a wall, especially mirrors. A wall mirror like this modern farmhouse style piece, is optimal for reflecting light into the room and making the room seem larger than it is, like with this keeping room. When using a mirror as a backdrop, it not only adds artistic elements to your space but it also is a popular style if you want something that is neutral and goes with any decor.
VARYING STYLES OF MODERN FARMHOUSE WALL ART
I love that there are so many varying styles of wall art in modern farmhouse design. We have a variety of statement pieces in our home that range from combining rustic farmhouse with abstract to elements of traditional. Customize your piece of art for your specific room theme. There are many different shapes, styles and sizes. We put up a world map art in my son's room. It ties in perfectly with his decor and is a bit more masculine. These are some great options:
- Maps
- Pictures
- Paintings
- Gallery walls
- Landscapes
- Hanging tapestries
- Line drawings
- Prints
- Botanical prints
- Word prints
- Mirrors
COMPLIMENTS ROOM THEME
Wall art is ideal for complimenting any room style choice. While most of my home is modern farmhouse, when designing my daughter's room, we specifically picked a Boho modern theme to tie in. Boho and modern farmhouse have similar elements of tying in natural materials to modern features.
We came up with this DIY Boho wicker art that was more affordable and unique to the room theme. If anything, these handmade pieces only added to the emphasis on the fun Bohemian vibes. Picking art that compliments your choice of theme is the perfect way of enhancing the style of your home.
Using Modern Farmhouse Wall Art in Decorating
Adding decorative wall art will bring a beautiful aesthetic appeal to the heart of the home. To achieve a wall of stunning modern farmhouse artwork, try appealing to a neutral color palette, vintage prints, or rustic or natural materials. Incorporate some variety to your decorating and make your walls really pop!
Happy Decorating!
