The Ultimate Guide to Personalising Your Space with Wall Art
How would you style your wall art? Cluster? Linear? ©Grain&WeavePTY
Transforming your home into a reflection of your personal journey isn't just about choosing the right furniture or the perfect shade of paint; it's also about the art that adorns your walls. Wall art is a powerful tool to personalise and inject life, love and a story into every room.
With our story-telling collection, we invite you to showcase the range of relationships and interactions that define your family. It's a journey through the everyday and extraordinary moments that you share. Alternatively, if there's a single moment that holds a special place in your heart, we can transform it into a large feature piece. This is more than just a photograph; it's a celebration of 'that one favourite moment' that you'll cherish forever.

Start with a Vision
Before you start picking out pieces, have a clear vision of what you want your space to represent. Do you prefer a modern, minimalist look, or is your style more eclectic? Remember, your wall art should complement the room's overall theme and colour scheme. For inspiration, check out "It's all about the final frame with Grain & Weave".

Tell Your Story Through Family Photography
What better way to personalise your space than with family photographs? They are not just images; they are stories captured in time, reminders of the moments and people that matter most. It is a wonderful way of creating belonging, building family ties and showing your children and family where it all started from, how it’s currently going, or, what once was. Explore creative ideas for displaying family photos in our article on "Family Picture Wall Art".

Handmade Wall Art: A Unique Touch
Handmade wall art adds a unique and personal touch that mass-produced pieces simply can't match. Consider incorporating handmade wall art, especially if it features personal elements like newborn photography. Discover how to blend this art form into your home decor with "Creating Handmade Wall Art with Newborn Photography at Home: A Sydney-Based Guide".

Playing with Sizes and Layouts
The size and arrangement of your wall art can dramatically affect the room's aesthetic. Larger pieces can be focal points, while smaller artworks can create an intriguing gallery wall. Play around with different layouts before making any final decisions.
Our linear and cluster collections are designed to suit every type of home we visit and are versatile enough to earn a place on your wall for many years to come. Usually made up of at least three pieces of equal or mixed size our designer collections provide excellent wall coverage without feeling too bold or assertive.
The nature of smaller pieces, designed to sit together, draw the viewer in to the story and are ideal for those who prefer not to have large images of themselves in their home.

The Importance of Lighting
Lighting can significantly impact how your wall art is perceived. Natural light can enhance the colours and details of your art during the day, while well-placed artificial lighting can elevate the art's appearance at night. This is something that you can discuss during your online consult when looking at crafting your wall art with your designer, with you space and intention in mind.
A Canvas of Memories and Expressions
Your home is your canvas, and the wall art you choose is your medium of expression. Whether it’s through family photographs, handmade art, or a mix of various media, the right wall art can turn your home into a haven of memories and personal style.
