Oversized Canvas Wall Art - How To Decorate Your Office

Decorating your work space or office building can pose a challenge even for a professional designer. You'll have to deal with large spaces, big empty walls, and buying decor pieces and canvas wall art. Furniture can easily fill up floor space but your walls can be more difficult to decorate.

Hanging paintings or canvas prints in small rooms is easy but decorating bigger spaces like walls in a high ceiling lobby or a long hallway can be difficult. There is a solution to decorating huge walls in an office building by hanging oversized paintings.

You can get one single piece of painting or use canvas art sets. These canvas sets compose of 2 to over 8 pieces of canvas to make a bigger artwork. It's practical in a way because it will be easier to hang sets due to smaller sizes of the canvas pieces.

Imagine the trouble of installing a wall sized painting at an office lobby. Hanging several smaller canvas pieces makes more sense since the artwork will be divided into several pieces that are smaller and lighter. These canvas art sets also come in different sizes.

There are rectangular sets that go vertically or horizontally. Some are square and others are offset. Offset canvas wall art are made of several pieces of canvas in different sizes. Making them look quite interesting and creative.

Abstract canvas in offset, oversized or in sets are very in demand for decorating offices, but you can also get other themes like a seascape or other subjects for a more casual look. A large seascape canvas would look great at a travel agency office.

Other places you can place oversized canvas art sets aside from offices are at hospitals, large restaurants, clubs and even in a residential home with a high ceiling. When buying your canvas wall art, remember that canvas sets can be hung inches apart making them wider or bigger.

Get paintings that would go with the surrounding. Abstracts would go well in a modern office, and traditional paintings for a more conventional look. Get artwork painted on gallery wrapped canvas so you can hang them as soon as you get them.

Don't Make This Mistake on Valentine's Day

One in five guys will text their loving message on Valentine’s Day and one in ten will take to email. That doesn't even factor Facebook and Twitter professions of love. As sweet as 140 characters can be, old-school letters are more romantic. One survey found the obvious: women would be disappointed by an electronic gesture of affection.
Why it’s bad: In terms of effort, it’s minimal. It also brings a third party into your affair: your P.D.A. (your Personal Digital Assistant, not public displays of affection). It should be a given to turn it off during your candlelit dinner, but using it to profess love is detached.
The fix: Buy a blank card or take a photo of the two of you and write a message on the back. It doesn't have to be long, it can even be a quote from your favorite song. But in this technological world, handwriting holds a certain intimacy. If words just aren't your thing, make a mix CD and write out the songs in pen. Your music choices will do
