Finding the Right Wall Decorations for You

An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.

If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).

“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango Co.

Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.

If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.

Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.

Questions About Midcentury Still Life
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A still life is a type of painting or drawing portraying an arrangement of different objects. Typically, these subjects include fruit, flowers, dining ware, and glassware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    No, a still life doesn't have to be realistic. Still life is a genre or type of subject matter. To fit the definition, a piece simply needs to portray inanimate objects. Artists can employ any style they choose to represent the objects in their paintings. Some examples of abstract still-life paintings include Georges Braque's Violin and Candlestick, Pablo Picasso's Still Life with Chair Caning and Paul Cézanne's Fruit Bowl, Glass, and Apples. Find a large collection of still-life paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Pronkstilleven is a type of still life that was developed in the 1640s by Flemish artists. Rather than traditional still-life paintings, these emphasized abundances and various objects considered to be part of a luxurious life such as fruits, flowers and wild game. On 1stDibs, find a variety of original artwork from top artists.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Dutch still life paintings are painted works of art depicting everyday objects that were produced in the Netherlands during the 16th and 17th centuries. Although the pictured items are realistic, they tend to have symbolic meanings. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Dutch still life paintings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    A still- life painting depicts inanimate, everyday objects.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    Why it is called still life has to do with the history of the art genre. Still life painting became a distinct genre thanks to the work of late 16th- and 17th-century Dutch artists. They called their paintings stilleven, which translates to motionless or silent life in English. This term relates to the fact that Dutch still life artists painted motionless objects such as flowers and fruit. As the genre spread beyond the Netherlands, English-speaking artists referred to it as still life. Shop a selection of still life paintings on 1stDibs.
  • Lilac Gallery Ltd.March 17, 2021
    A 'Still Life' image refers to a work of art where the main subject usually portrays an intimate interior scene showing natural objects like food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, shells, etc. or man-made objects like drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, etc. which are mostly arranged on top of a flat surface like a table or mantel.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    The subject of a portrait is typically a person; the subject of a still life consists predominantly of inanimate objects.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not still life art is realism depends on the piece. Dutch still lifes produced during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries are examples of a realistic style. Impressionist and Expressionist still lifes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are not realistic. Shop a variety of still life art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Although still lifes occur in ancient murals, Jacopo de’Barbari is considered to have painted the first still life, in 1504.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Most people considered the nationality of the still life technique to be Dutch. This is because Realist still life painting originated in Holland in the 16h century. However, artists from other parts of the world also work in the genre. On 1stDibs, shop a range of still life paintings.
  • La ChrysomeleFebruary 23, 2021
    A still life painting portrays inanimate subjects of small to medium size : a bouquet, a cup of fruits, cooking utensils, a set of keys, etc.
    Glenn Green Galleries
    Glenn Green GalleriesFebruary 25, 2021
    A still-life painting is typically a group of arranged objects in an intimate setting. The term comes from the Dutch word "stilleven".
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
