Finding the Right Wall Decorations for You

An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.

If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).

“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango & Co.

Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.

If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.

Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.

Questions About Contemporary Art Watercolors
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Contemporary art denotes work created by 21st-century artists.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    In contemporary art, conceptual art is a movement that began in the 1960s. Artists producing conceptual art assign more importance to the idea behind the art than to the piece itself. An example is Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, a piece consisting of a real chair, a photograph of a chair and the dictionary definition of the word chair. When the work was displayed, Kosuth included instructions for any chair to be photographed and then displayed beside its image. In this way, the chair itself is not the artwork. Rather, the art comes from examining the way the object, image and words provide competing and complementary definitions of what a chair is. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Contemporary art encompasses painting, sculpture, photography, installation, performance and video art, among other genres.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    Contemporary art is important because of how it responds to the current moment. Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. Through their works, contemporary artists provide commentary about social issues, history and the human condition. By engaging with contemporary art, viewers can gain a deeper understanding of the world and new perspectives. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of contemporary art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    The meaning of contemporary art is art produced by living artists. The category typically includes works created in the late 20th century as well as in the 21st century. Given its timeliness, contemporary art often responds to current issues and themes that are relevant to an everyday audience. Contemporary art succeeded modern art, which is art made during a period that began in approximately 1850. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of contemporary art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Contemporary art has no defining feature or characteristic.The term simply refers to recent creations.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    The difference between modern art and contemporary art comes down to age. Contemporary art refers to art produced by artists who are still alive or were active during the 1960s and later. Modern art is the term for artworks made between 1850 or 1860 and 1960. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of modern and contemporary art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    The term contemporary is applied to art by 21st-century artists; modern art refers to works created from the1880s and through the 1960s.
