Wall decor delves into the realm of three-dimensional formations with abstract being the key focal style. These intriguing designs demand an outside-the-box mentality, allowing creativity to flow freely. Materials vary from leather-bound wood and acrylic to metal.
Various graphic patterns spice up the Arte De Charisme Collection wall decor from Graphics International made of embossed leather over wood ($329) Rocking a retro vibe, the three-piece Purity wall decor showcases a shiny "river" that meanders throughout, lending a sense of movement fromArtisan House. The "riverbank" on either side is made of hand-cut pieces of metal tinted with blue, purple and red ($625). Nova's Schematics wall art displays geometric shapes and designs finished in aged steel and ground steel.
