Wall Decor is undeniably an integral part of designing your home, right after furniture. Being at eye level, the walls are the most prominent space where the gaze of the beholder lands. The types of wall decor and/or wall art are either deeply personal or must be a fitting addition to the rest of the objects in the house. As such wall decor and art are of an infinite variety. Birdy Home & Design helps you manoeuvre the different types of art across timelines, that are both trendy and timeless.
The deciding factor of what genre it falls under is often reflected in the type of art: such as Watercolour and Oil Paintings for European and Indo-Chine designs; and Digital Art by Digital Artists as well as Digitally Resurrected versions of original and traditional artists for Modern and Minimal Designs. The type of frames used also matters where ornate and carved framing is used to depict the glamour of traditional themes and minimal or wood-inspired frames are used in modern and minimal styles to depict the need for the simplicity of our current times.
Let's look at the top five wall art types to see how they can transform your house into a home.
 1. Nature-inspired ArtÂ
Nature-inspired art is timeless and fits across a range of home decor styles, from vintage European, and Indo-Chine to even Minimalist designs. This style brings the beauty of nature into your house, providing a peaceful and serene environment. Think of floral prints, landscapes, and abstract depictions of natural components. These artworks may serve as focal points in your living room or bedroom, bringing you closer to nature and improving your general mental well-being.

 2. Bold Geometric Patterns
Geometric patterns have been significantly embraced in Modern and Minimal Styles and are also making a comeback in 2024 home decor trends. These designs add a dynamic touch to any space without compromising on minimalism. Whether you choose a large, statement piece or a gallery wall of smaller geometric prints, this trend is sure to make a bold statement. Combine geometric wall art with minimalist furniture to let the artwork shine. Use colours that complement your existing decor for a harmonious look. Example - Tan on Wood, Oak, Chestnut, Black and/or White; and Grey on White.

3. Vintage and Modern Parisian
For those with a flair for Parisian designs, it’s great news that this is a design theme that beautifully accommodates the best of both the vintage and modern worlds. This theme allows you to pair elegant vintage chandeliers and mirrors with modern fluted furniture such as cabinetry and wardrobes. With this theme, you can use museum-inspired art that speaks to your character and vibe. Mix vintage art with modern furniture to create a transitional and stylish look. This contrast between old and new elements add character and personality to your home.
4. Retro Art
Vintage and retro art pieces are another theme that exhibits a lot of character and personality in your home. These artworks bring a sense of nostalgia and charm. Look for posters, prints, and paintings from past decades that evoke memories of simpler times. Perfect for the nostalgic softies and history geeks.
 4. Gallery Walls
We at Birdy Home & Design love gallery walls, because it allows you to unleash your creativity, style and mood to their fullest. Think of living spaces like walls above your sitting area, above dining areas, bedroom corners, and walls above stairways. Adding a gallery wall in these areas makes for great conversation starters for your varied interests as well as an opportunity to mix and match your family memorabilia along with your choice of art. While this style encourages you to play along with a range of art and framing styles, it also helps to use a single or dual colour palette and framing theme to have a sense of synchronicity. Choose what speaks to you!
