My Oversized Art

Oversized Art in My Entryway & Bedroom: A Bold Statement

One of my favorite ways to make a space feel grand and intentional is with oversized artwork. It’s a game-changer—especially in areas with high ceilings where you really want to embrace the scale of the space. I recently added large statement pieces from BigWallDecor.com to my entryway and bedroom, and I’m obsessed with how they transformed both rooms.

Bedroom:

For my bedroom, I went with the 60”x60” Infinity Frame in black and the Black Forest III artwork. This monochromatic floral piece adds the perfect amount of moodiness and depth to my space. I love how it complements my decor while also making a bold statement against my high ceilings.

Entryway:

In my entryway, I have the 60”x90” Infinity Frame in black, and I love the versatility it offers. I switch between two different pieces depending on my mood and the season.

Beige Posy Bouquet Watercolor – This stunning floral piece is available from an artist on BigWallDecor’s website. I opted for it without the artist's signature so I could hang it horizontally, which fits my space perfectly.

For the other piece I used the Custom Artwork option. The print is called Garden in May – I took advantage of the Open Access platform from the Smithsonian, a free resource for finding and downloading copyright-free artwork. Garden in May is such a dreamy, lush piece that brings a fresh and timeless feel to my entry.

If you haven’t explored the Open Access platform yet, it’s an amazing way to source high-quality artwork at no cost. It’s one of my go-to tricks for finding unique pieces that feel curated and personal.

Why Oversized Art Works

If you’re on the fence about large-scale artwork, let me tell you—it’s worth it! Here’s why:

Makes a Space Feel Bigger – Instead of multiple smaller pieces, one oversized artwork draws the eye upward and expands the space visually.
Adds Drama & Impact – Whether it’s a soft floral or a moody monochrome, large art instantly creates a focal point.
Versatile & Changeable – With an Infinity Frame, swapping out art is easy, making it a flexible choice for ever-evolving styles.

If you’re looking to elevate your home with oversized art, BigWallDecor.com has so many great options! And don’t forget to check out the Open Access platform for free artwork downloads—it’s a total hidden gem.
