Hanging wall art is one of the best ways to spruce up a wall, and all the more true if it's a maximalist piece, whether it is in size or imagery.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson proves our point with his large-scale, statement artwork hanging above the mantel in his dining area. As seen on his Instagram page, the scenic artwork adds a dramatic point of visual intrigue to the otherwise neutral space.

When it comes to selecting a piece, art insiders say that taste is the ultimate guide.

'Select pieces that resonate with you personally,' suggests Josephine Zentner, Art Prize and Gallery Coordinator at Jackson’s Art. 'Rather than following trends, focus on artwork that evokes a genuine emotional response. This way, your collection remains meaningful and timeless.'

She continues, 'You can select artwork that complements your interior style and the atmosphere you want to create. For calming and neutral spaces, go for minimalist or abstract art in soft tones or monochrome pieces. In a boho setting, choose vibrant, eclectic works that feature natural textures and patterns, such as woven or hand-painted pieces.'

Nature-inspired works are always a win in our books, as they are calming and timeless. However, when it comes to size, Josephine instructs us to get a bit more specific.

'Sizing your art for your space is crucial,' she explains. 'A piece that's too small can get lost on a large wall, leaving it feeling uninspired and bare, while an oversized piece might overwhelm a space. As a general guideline, aim to fill two-thirds to three-quarters of the wall space above a piece of furniture.'

To recreate the maximalist look, we love this oversized tapestry from Magnolia. Alternatively, this floral print is slightly smaller and provides the natural feel we can't get enough of.
