Knowing how to style wooden wall art makes the difference between a pretty piece and a room that feels finished. Here are five simple ways to style wooden art across rooms.

1. Living room — create a hero piece

Place a large wooden panel or a grouped set above the sofa as the focal point. Keep the height so the center of the art sits about 145–155 cm from the floor (eye level). Balance with cushions or a rug color from the artwork.

2. Bedroom — go for calm and symmetry

Over the bed, pick a horizontal wooden piece or two matching panels. Symmetry gives a restful feel. Soft finishes and muted tones work best for a bedroom.

3. Dining & kitchen — add texture and warmth

Use smaller wooden accents or vertical panels to add warmth near a dining table. Sunmica finished pieces are great here for easy cleaning and durability.

4. Hallway & entryway — tell a short story

Use a vertical trio or a slim gallery wall to guide visitors through. Hallways are perfect for tall, narrow pieces or a series of similarly sized wooden plaques.

5. Home office — inspire creativity

A statement piece behind the desk or a cluster of motivational panels will lift the workspace. Choose designs that bring energy without distraction.

Quick styling tips

• Mix materials: wood + metal or wood + small plants for contrast.
• Frame negative space: leave breathing room around larger pieces.
• Use consistent spacing (2–4 inches) for galleries.
• Layer: place a small shelf with a wooden panel leaning against the wall for a casual look.
