Size Matters With Oversized Art

January 10, 2013 by Allison 6 Comments

oversized art - black and white photograph wall mural for 1st Option via atticmagAdd dimension, depth and visual interest by using oversized art to fill a wall.

Great spaces, with big empty walls, can sometimes be a challenge to decorate. But they needn’t be.  Make a statement with a grand work of oversized art.  Modern technology allows high quality printing for a large format photo wall. It’s simple (and becoming more budget friendly) to customize with scale or color.  Dress a wall in a black and white classic style photograph inspired by Audrey Hepburn, as shown in this dressing room.

oversized art - pink tone on tone oversized photograph of Elizabeth Taylor from Vogue - via atticmagThis tone-on-tone, featuring Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, seems like an odd choice for a playroom, but the colorful photograph has significant appeal.

oversized art - Spiderman comic wall mural in childrens room from NYTimes via atticmagChoose a favorite super hero to add a graphic punch in a child’s bedroom, playroom or even a nursery — they don’t stay little long!  While the Audrey look-a-like [top] is frameless, the comic appears to be trimmed in black, although it could be part of the graphic.  Having it printed on a wrapped canvas will allow the freedom to relocate.  Whatever subject or color is chosen, the impact is dramatic.

      Spidey is my fav too, although I am more of a Batman gal. I think Liz would wonder why more of us don’t have her plastered on our walls!

    Rachel, the photograph was originally featured in the NY Times magazine. You can try searching their website for designer info or search the internet for custom over-sized wall art websites.

    Hi Katrine,

    I believe that is a custom photo mural as it came from a photo agency.

    Here are some Hepburn posters — one may be available in a digital image that can be blown up or it might be scanned by a digital canvas place.

    Good luck with your search!

    Best, Jane
