Wall art is not just for covering the walls. What has been hung defines the space just as much as the furniture and electronics that fill the space, or the rugs on the floor. It should be chosen with a care to evoke a certain mood, and to emphasize what the space represents. With that in mind it easier to pick out the best wall art for the space in question.
Oil Paintings
Oil paintings are usually considered the classical way to decorate walls. The exude professionalism, and that the decorator has spent some money on them, making the office look successful even if it is not. A few paintings can set the mood for the space, and it is usually a somber, cool one. Because of the texture of the paint itself, it can change based on lighting, which is an effect to be wary of in rooms with a lot of light below the painting. Nonetheless, for offices requiring that touch of class, oil paintings usually work very well.
Watercolors
Although classical in their own right, watercolors, especially abstract pastels, are usually seen as something that adds some austerity to place. Although the more abstract pieces are looked down on, as they tend to be there just to decorate the walls, pieces with a definite subject usually go over very well. They can be used to soften an office or brighten a room, and can provide a way to that a person is a patron of the local arts. Watercolors that combine a number of influences, such as a Japanese branch with a European bird, can come of as especially effective.
Movie Posters
Posters in general need to be debated, and movie posters especially so. They can add a certain mood of their own, and usually only work in a theatrical office. Otherwise they tend to make the area feel not quite ready for business, and can come off rather badly. However, if they are hung correctly, usually behind glass, they can make an office more homey and provide needed topics of discussion for those waiting to see someone. They can also add a fun touch and are usually best used in an office catering to a younger crowd. Just remember to pay special attention to the posters used, and one can do well by them.
The best wall art is that which represents it best. Because of that some thought should be given as to what the space represents, be it austere, professional, or even just a little silly. By taking that time, the best decisions can be made and the art can thus have a dramatic impact. Even the most insignificant piece of art can have a substantial effect, so take time to make the decision.
