Get the low-down on our latest collection of wall art from the OB homeware design team, including their top five wall art trends, plus the inspiration behind their latest designs.

1. Beaded wall art

Combining playful typography with fresh and bold colour, a piece of beaded wall art will make a statement in your home. Lauren, our Junior Designer for homeware explains: “These designs were brought to life by the most skilled artisans, who bead each piece by hand. The fabric and tactile elements add interest to your walls.”

2. Colourful frames

Your wall print’s frame should complement the art it displays, and one trend that nails this is colourful frames. Lauren says “Our new pieces featuring colourful wooden frames will add playful pops of colour to your room of choice. Spending so much time at home during the colder months, we love a splash of colour to make you smile.”

3. Dried flower wall hangings

Your wall decor needn’t be restricted to prints, wall hangings are another way to add flourish to your walls. Our dried flower wall hangings display pressed blooms inside glass frames and are complete with a chain or velvet hanging. Their different shapes and sizes make them perfect for arranging in groups on larger walls, or solo if you’re filling less space. Lauren says: “Inspired by vintage wall art, these pieces celebrate craft and the unique, they’ll bring nature indoors and will brighten up any home.”

4. Wall art sets

Whether you’re making your own gallery wall or want to create cohesion between the wall decor in your home, a coordinating set is one way to achieve the look. “We love adding sets of wall art to our collection! They make it so easy to mix and match throughout your home, placing them together above your favourite piece of furniture or dotted separately around the house.”

Handmade and crafted pieces are one way to add a personal touch to your interior and our embroidered wall art is inspired by this trend. Lauren explains “Our embroidered wall art combines joyful quotes and botanical sketches with hand embroidery meaning each piece is uniquely special.” Lauren says: “Inspired by vintage wall art, these pieces celebrate craft and the unique, they’ll bring nature indoors and will brighten up any home.”
