Looking for a way to fill those empty walls? Choosing artworks for your home can be a lengthy and pricey task, but you can give any room an instant lift with wall hangings, created and curated by one of the local businesses at Hardtofind. Here, you can shop our collection of wall hanging decor online. But first! Here are a few tips on what to look for and how to choose the right arty hangings for your walls.
What kind of wall hanging should I buy?
There’s a huge selection of wall art available, and choosing something that is going to suit your home — and a particular room — is key. It doesn’t have to be matchy-matchy, in fact sometimes a contrasting colour scheme is what will make your wall hanging pop. Popular wall hangings include those based on 3D ceremonial masks, African-inspired in traditional or modern designs. Expanding this theme, you’ll also discover contemporary versions that will bring a particular era of pop culture to life on your walls. Other wall hanging décor includes floral print textiles stretched over wooden frames — like painted artworks but with added layers and texture — and click-together systems that have different images on the two sides, so you can change up the look of your room depending on your mood. For something that reminds you of a wonderful travel experience, you might choose a map, chart or flag. Or something more unconventional might appeal, such as an eye or carved wooden animal heads.
At Hardtofind there’s so much choice on our wall hanging pages, you just need to start with a browse and narrow down your options! Wall hangings will accentuate the style of your home, express your personality, and make a room an inviting place to be.
Crafty wall hangings
Super popular right now are the retro chic decorative crafty pieces such as jute wall hangings, wall hanging planters or macrame wall hangings. If you’re looking for wall hangings with a boho-chic vibe, these wall hangings should be on your must-have list. Lightweight and naturally attractive, these pieces are typically made from twisted or knotted cotton or wool, and create an instant bohemian feel in any room. The crafting technique of macramé is an old one. The origin of macramé is attributed to Arabic weavers back in the 13th century, who used decorative knots to finish off the loose ends of their hand-woven textiles. The craft slowly spread to Europe and became a common hobby for sailors — not only did it give them something to do on those long sea voyages, it also gave them something to sell once they reached port, where eager locals would snap up their hammocks, hats and other decorative pieces. As with most art forms, macrame fell in and out of favour over the years, until the 1970s when it took over the world, one loungeroom at a time. Right now, macrame is having yet another moment in the sun, with designs that offer a contemporary twist on traditional styles. If you’re feeling crafty, you can even create your own macrame wall hangings using the ancient technique of macrame knotting, with DIY kits that will produce a super stylish piece of artwork for any room in the house. At Hardtofind we have macrame craft, macrame wall hangings and many other macrame accessories.
