Anything you find beautiful enough to put on the wall can be considered wall décor, so it’s a prime opportunity to show off your design chops while personalizing your home far beyond the simple selection of furniture and textiles. For instance, a ceramic wall planter gives the room a small hint of green life, while a framed metallic op art creates a completely different atmosphere. From delicate wrought iron to painted wood panels, your perfect wall complements the room it’s in by giving a fresh inflection to the unique individual story you’re already telling with your décor.
How to Choose Antique Wall Decor
When choosing antique wall décor, you want to focus on materials, color and shape, and era. Painted or sculptural birds, plants, and other natural denizens are a sign that you want to bring the outdoors in, while painted historical portraits can make yesterday sing.
Textiles soften, while bronze or wrought iron metalwork tells a more intense and subtle story. Bringing a China or platter plate creates a homelike atmosphere, and neoclassical plasterwork like columns or portraits can create a luxe, rich setting for your favorite things.
Your home isn’t a museum, but it is filled with beautiful things, each with its own story. What better way is there to show them off?

Whether it’s South Asian doors in the den, oversized flatware or a chicken-rooster theme in the kitchen, or antique guitars on the living room walls, your rooms can say so much more with the addition of antique wall décor.
For example, mid-century stylized seagulls or orthographic designs can evoke any era, from the recent past to a long ago and far away. Additionally, Neo-classical sconces with gilded or bronze scenes make for a much different ambiance from swords and metalwork, while angelic elements like finials or carvings hint at the personality behind the art.
Handcrafted wooden sculptural elements, rustic wooden paneling, or Louis XVI patinated doors and windows all create entirely different worlds for your furnishings to live in. Whatever your personal style, you are sure to find the perfect antique wall décor.
