Art is a timeless thing, it never goes out of style as it’s a way to express emotions, state of mind, stories and much more and it’s a perfect way to give character to your home. If you don’t want a gallery wall like in every second home, think big, literally, go for a large scale wall art! Why a large scale one?
What Are Large Scale Art Advantages?
A large scale art piece is a gorgeous statement for any space: it can set the mood, bring character and history, infuse the space with color and take over the whole space – it’s fabulous! There’s no other means that would have as much impact as large scale art and would be available for everyone. It’s also very affordable as you can make an abstract one even if you can’t paint or draw at all. Besides, with a large scale art you won’t have to mix and match like while building a gallery wall, and your space will look expensive.
Large Scale Art For Practical Purposes
Space Divider
A large artwork hanging can become a space divider in an open layout, and I can’t imagine a more tasteful and refined way to divide your home into zones. Suspend the art right to the ceiling or go for some fabric and then attach to it.

Height Highlighter
If you have a double-height ceiling, why not show it to advantage using a huge or just tall wall art? This way you will create an impression of a cohesive and tied up space with refined decor, and you can also set the tone in the space as such an art will dominate it.
