Creating a feature wall in your home is the perfect way to showcase a new colour scheme or interior trend in your chosen room. This season ART INSPIRED wallpaper is set to be the most popular choice across the high street with designs and prints based upon some of the most famous artists and masterpieces in history and the modern day. These intricate and bold wallpapers are sure to create a stylish focal point in any room of the home.
Florals
Floral wallpapers are always a popular choice but why not take it one step further with a paper or mural that is inspired by one of the masters of floral artwork; Van Gogh. If you like a wallpaper with a repetitive pattern then why not select a simple cream wallpaper featuring small images of Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ that will create a fresh and summery feel in your home interior. For a larger and bolder pattern along your feature wall then opt for a paper that depicts his ‘Irises’ or ‘Almond Blossom’ to give a natural botanical ambiance with a pop of elegant colour. You can also look for paintings depicting floral images by Manet, Monet and Dürer.
Landscapes
Landscape artworks make a great choice for rooms with limited views or small windows to create the illusion of bringing the outside space into the home. For a fresh, botanical landscape then why not find wallpaper inspired by Claude Monet’s famous paintings of the beautiful Gardens of Giverny. These elegant paintings depict the gorgeous Lillie ponds and oriental inspired bridges of the gardens and will create a fresh and bright feel within your chosen interior space. For a more rural and rustic look then find designs inspired by the paintings of Constable such as ‘The Hay Wain’ that illustrates a rural scene of The River Stour near Flatford Mill.
Animals and Birds
Dogs are a favoured subject in classic and modern art and make the perfect wallpaper choice for any dog lovers. Look for papers inspired some of the most famous canine artworks such as Renoir’s ‘Madame Renoir with Dogs’, Diego Valesquez’s ‘Maid of Honor’ or Pablo Picasso’s ‘Boy with Dog’. There are also wide collection of art inspired wallpapers that depict the beauty and elegance of horses. Stoic and powerful war images such as ‘Napoleon Crossing the Alps’ by Jaques-Louis David depict Napoleon on his horse Marengo or opt for elegant and sophisticated horse images like ‘Whistlejacket’ by George Stubs. Birds play a huge part in many famous artworks and are perfect in creating a soft and delicate oriental or British garden inspired feel in any room of the home.
Pop Art
If you are not a fan of classic artworks then modern Pop Art inspired wallpaper is the perfect choice from you. Whether you opt for sleek and classic monochrome designs or bold and colourful images, this look is sure to create a real statement in your interior space. Famous prints by Andy Warhol such as his ‘Campbell Soup Cans’ and ‘Marilyn Monroe’ will make a perfect feature in a modern living room or bedroom interior.
