Empty walls are like blank pages – full of possibilities! At Rivenaco, we help turn those blank spaces into conversation pieces with our custom engraved wall art. Today, let’s walk through how a plain wall can become the highlight of your home.
Finding Your Wall’s Purpose
Before choosing wall art, think about what you want that space to do:
- Make a statement? A large, bold piece with a meaningful quote might be perfect
- Create calm? Consider minimalist designs with simple lines
- Tell your story? Family names, important dates, or location coordinates can personalize your space
- Show your personality? Fun phrases or images that reflect your interests make your space uniquely yours
Your walls are a canvas that shows visitors who you are. The right piece doesn’t just fill space – it fills your home with meaning.
Choosing Materials That Matter
The material of your wall art affects both how it looks and how long it lasts:
Wood Warm and natural, wood brings a cozy feel to any room. Our engraved wooden pieces range from rustic to refined, depending on the type of wood and finish. Each piece shows unique grain patterns that make your art truly one-of-a-kind.
Metal For a modern, sleek look, metal wall art makes a bold statement. Our engraved metal catches light in ways that change throughout the day, creating a dynamic piece that feels different morning to night.
Acrylic Clear, colorful, and contemporary, acrylic wall art has a floating effect that adds depth to your walls. Our engraved acrylic pieces play with light and shadow for a subtle but striking effect.
Sizing It Right
Size matters when it comes to wall art! A piece that’s too small can look lost, while something too large might overwhelm the space.
A good rule of thumb:
- For spaces above furniture, choose art that’s about 2/3 the width of the furniture below
- For empty walls, imagine your art taking up about 60-75% of the available wall space
- Remember to consider viewing distance – larger rooms need larger pieces to make an impact
Not sure about size? Take a photo of your wall and send it to us. Our team can help you visualize different options to find the perfect fit.
Placement That Pops
Where you hang your wall art matters almost as much as the art itself:
- Eye level is usually best (about 57-60 inches from the floor to the center of the piece)
- In dining rooms, hang art a bit lower since people are usually seated
- Create gallery walls by grouping smaller pieces together for bigger impact
- Consider unexpected places like hallways or bathrooms for delightful surprises
Remember: wall art doesn’t have to match your sofa – it just needs to speak to you!
Taking Care of Your Wall Art
Once your beautiful engraved piece is up, keep it looking its best:
- Dust regularly with a soft cloth
- Keep wooden pieces away from direct sunlight to prevent fading
- For acrylic pieces, use only acrylic-safe cleaners
- Avoid touching engraved areas with fingers (natural oils can affect some finishes)
With proper care, your Rivenaco wall art will be a stunning focal point for years to come.
