Wall Art + Mirrors

Wall Art + Mirrors

When most of the decorating is complete in a room, then it’s time to add the final touches to polish off the look. Once carpets are covering the floors, drapes are hung on the windows and bookcases have knick-knacks and decorations, it’s time adorn the walls with modern wall art and mirrors. Mirrors add a classic look to any room in the home, while hanging modern wall art lets your personal taste shine through, completing your home decoration.

Mirrors

A mirror can be used for function as well as decoration. Hang a group of small mirrors or a long wall mirror in your entryway or foyer to check your appearance as you leave the home, or use a floor-length mirror in your bedroom or changing area as you get ready in the morning. Hang decorative, entertaining mirrors in the children’s bedroom or your own bedroom, and use magnifying mirrors to shave or put on makeup during your morning routine.

Frames + Wall Decor

Sometimes simple wall decor can go a long way when decorating a room. Use frames that complement the existing palette of the room to bring a warm tone of cheer to your living space. Cherry and espresso-colored wood frames are always a nice touch. Matching clocks always bring out the best in a room as well, and keep you on time when you’re in a hurry. Choose a type of wallpaper or paneling for specific rooms that need a do-over, such as faux brick or wood. When it comes to wall decor from west elm, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Art

Nothing showcases your tastes quite like hanging beautiful pieces of art on your walls. Choose to shop by artist to form a common theme within your home, or mix and match different modern and contemporary styles for an eclectic feel. Art goes well beyond just paintings, so look for things that enliven your walls, such as hanging sculptures, fresh photography and paintings by up-and-coming artists.

Wall Organization

Not everything on your wall has to be purely decorative – some items can be decorative and functional, such as shelves, wall organizers and wall hardware. Use helves to organize knick-knacks and books, or wall organizers to help you get your day started on the right foot. Wall hardware such as hanging hooks lets you hang up coats, backpacks and other personal items with ease while still staying stylish and organized.
