Statement pieces are designed to grab people’s attention the moment they walk into a room. You can categorize them in different ways - some people use furniture as a statement piece, others opt for lighting designs, and some look to add their statement items to the wall. The last of those ideas interests us the most because it spawns so many possibilities. You can be really creative when it comes to adding a statement piece to your rooms when you hang or attach things to a wall.
What sort of things are appropriate for this? Remember, they need to be bold and eye-catching, yet still make sense within the room. Here are some ideas you could call upon throughout your home:
Big Wall Clocks
A clock brings obvious practicality to any room, helping you display the time. Some clocks aren’t that good at making statements and work better as smaller pieces to tie a room together. That being said, you will find some amazing luxury wall clocks that generate the vibes you’re looking for. These clocks are much bigger and will be designed to make a statement. They draw eyes from the moment someone walks into a room - without also dominating the interior space too much.
Wall clocks come in all sorts of styles to help you pick one that suits your interior design theme. Or, you could go down the luxury route and pick wall clocks that replicate high-end watch brands. Imagine seeing a Rolex or Omega clock on your walls; that’s one way to make an immediate statement.
Large Artwork
You’ll discover that most of your wall statement pieces need to be quite big. They should take up a decent chunk of wall space, meaning two things happen:
There’s not a huge amount of room for other things on the same wall, helping it make a bigger statement.
The piece is large enough to draw attention right away.
Artwork is one of the ideal ways you can add a statement to any wall in your home. The beauty of artwork lies in its diversity - you can find all kinds of prints, pictures, or other things to attach to a wall. Think about designs that suit the aesthetic you’re going for. What about some incredible Hokasai art in a home that’s trying to replicate the minimalist Japanese aesthetic?
Or, how about some art deco pieces in an art-deco-inspired home? You see where we’re going with this; your home’s theme and style influence the art you hang on your walls. Then it’s a case of choosing the ideal format: tapestries, canvases, framed paintings, and so on. Whatever you choose is bound to have a profound impact on the interior and elevate a room to the next level.
Oversized Mirrors
Like clocks, mirrors bring some element of practicality to a living space. You gain the ability to look at yourself in the mirror, but you also benefit from a mirror’s power to expand spaces and make them seem much bigger. An oversized mirror can really open up a wall and stop a small space from feeling too cramped or crowded. This is a very popular idea for decorating entranceways or upstairs hallways that often feel quite narrow and claustrophobic.
At the same time, oversized mirrors look great in other parts of your house. There’s a similar theme to the other options on this list in that you genuinely have so many styles and designs to pick from. Do you opt for square or rectangular mirrors? What about choosing spherical ones? And how will you add the mirror to your wall?
The last question is intriguing because mirrors are super flexible. Not literally, but they’re flexible in how you can use them as a statement piece for your walls. Hang mirrors on the wall itself or lean large ones against a wall. Consider getting a full-length mirror that rests against your wall and conveys a true sense of grandeur. That’s a genius idea for a statement piece in the bedroom - while hanging a large mirror on the wall looks great in living rooms.
Wall Treatments
What if you didn’t add anything specific to your wall, but the wall itself was the statement piece?
This is a really trending idea in the home decor world and loads of people are using wall treatments as their next home renovation project. It’s a really clever idea: you decorate or alter the wall so it stands out from the other walls in the same room. You will find all manner of ideas to do this online, but here are some to help you get started:
Add wooden wall panels to just one wall within a room
Use completely different wallpaper or paint, creating a juxtaposition
Detail the wall with textures and different effects so it looks different
Add brickwork or fake stonework to a wall so it stands out
You get the idea we’re going for here - it’s not so much about adding an item to the wall; it’s about making that wall stand out.
How To Pick The Right Statement Wall Pieces
Look, all of the ideas you’ve read about are valid, but some might suit your walls or rooms better than others. In fact, you could implement all of them throughout your house, just in different places. It really comes down to a few things when deciding what to pick:
How much space you have on the walls
How tall the ceilings are
What interior design theme you’re rolling with
For example, smaller walls will be better suited to ideas like a wall clock or artwork. You’re less likely to treat a wall in this scenario - or opt for a full-length mirror. On the other hand, when you’ve got loads of space (and wall height), you can be bolder and go for those massive ideas because you need them to fill up the wall.
If you’re searching for ways to improve home decor and make a statement, then consider any of the ideas above. It’s all about taking a wall and turning it into the center of attention.
