Small scale art is having a moment, and that’s not surprising because of a whole ton of reasons! Small art is often more budget-friendly than large, if you DIY it, it’s also easier, and it can fill in that small piece of wall that you don’t what to do with. Besides, small scale pieces can have no less impact than large ones. Can’t believe it? Let me prove.
Single Piece Or Small Gallery Walls
Yes, sometimes we need a small gallery wall, though it may sound counter-intuitive, it’s so. For example, you might have a small piece of wall, a narrow one or you just need a special decor feature like no other. In all these cases, small art pieces are a solution! Make a small vertical gallery wall between two doorways, go for a mini gallery wall of two-three pieces in a bathroom or infuse your moody bedroom with decadance using small art and mirrors. If you have small artwork but want to highlight them and make them stand out, you can try large matting and frames, that will make art pieces more emphasized.
I also love the idea of adding a small and chic piece to a kitchen or dining space, to a bathroom where this art can really set the mood. If you are hanging just one tiny art, I’d recommend to add a piece that would echo with it: a rug, a vase or some pillows.
No place for a gallery wall? Take the wall next to the doorway and use art pieces according to the space size you have.

Fillers Between Large Art
As gallery walls are all the rage, it’s high time to compose your own one and make it special, even the gaps between the pieces! Your small artwork can become a perfect filler for a basic gallery wall with larger scale art. These gaps in between the art can be styled with smaller art pieces that will make even gaps meaningful and unique.

Dog and cat moms, are you here? If you are in love with your furry kids and organize special zones and spaces for them, tiny and cute art can be a nice idea to style these nooks.
