Decorating outside spaces with furniture, carpets and even a fireplace is growing popular by the day. The way someone would decorate an interior room or wall, it has become fashionable to decorate an exterior space or even a wall that has a view to it. This is called outdoor wall art. Generally people tend to prefer the use of metal for exterior wall art.
There are all sorts of ideas for sculpture using metal for exterior spaces such as a geometrical design or a beautiful plant or even birds in flight. Metal is generally not affected by weather changes and is also a sensible choice in that sense. Different types of metals offer different types of look. For example, if you use copper for your exterior wall art, what started off as a shiny copper color will wind up in different shades of blues, greens and even whites creating a most decorous weathered patina that will continue to change as the art grows older in time.
Some of the things to look out for is that if you wish to have an exterior wall art, you need to have a spacious wall in the first place. While this may be easy enough to find, look at its surroundings carefully as well. If the wall is in a covered place, ensure that there is possibility for a high placement and then go in for a large center piece that can be the focus. If you are using smaller decorative designs, the same rule applies in the sense that the art must fit and suit the place you are decorating. Kids wall art is a great idea too but again you need to ensure that the material you use is weather resistant. Children can take care of their own wall art and have fun at that. All you have to do is ensure the perfect placement based on the wall size and its surroundings.
Exterior art adds that extra special touch no matter where it is done, be it the front porch, summer house or even the fire room in the backyard. We spend so much money and time to decorate the interiors of our homes using carpets, furniture, paintings, lights and mirrors. Why don't we do something like that for exterior? Some strategic exterior wall art can go a long way to enliven the outside spaces of our homes. I wish you good like wit your new home design.
