The best advice for choosing wood wall decor is to select a piece that you love. Wood wall decor allows you to add an interesting touch to any design plan. From the simplest to the most intricate or unique piece, you can find wooden wall art in numerous designs and finishes. Look for a design that creates just the right finishing touch for your space. Wood wall décor elements also make great conversation pieces.

It's important to choose just the right tone of wood for your particular color scheme. You can choose something complementary or you can mix and match to add contrast. The design of each piece is also important; if your other accents or the prints in the room are quite intricate, you will likely be better off choosing a simple piece of wooden wall art. A rather plain space can be instantly dressed up with an intricately detailed decorative piece.

There are, of course, designer wood wall decor pieces available as well, some from prominent artists. You can also find home accent companies that specialize in wooden wall art, or you can even have a piece custom made precisely to your taste. For the do-it-yourselfer, you can create your own interesting wood wall decor. When someone admires it, you’ll be able to say you made it yourself. Choose lightweight wood that is easy to work with and won’t create too much of strain when you attempt to hang it in place.

There are many beautiful and even fun styles available in wood wall decor. You can create a wooden monogram on your wall or a simple one-letter decoration using the first initial of your surname. These make terrific accents both indoors and out.

Signs are also great. Something as simple as a sign that says “bath,” painted to match your bathroom, can be a charming accent. Plaques, shadow boxes, three-dimensional characters for the nursery, abstract art, and wooden architectural elements, all make great wood wall decor pieces.
