Oversized photographic prints are re-emerging as a new way of adding art to a room with a realistic approach. Massive images produced as high quality photographs are taking over the empty space above you sofa. Larger than a game board and sometimes spanning the width of a sofa; these majestic portraits are becoming easy to produce with the high tech capabilities of digital printing.

Visiting the discount living room furniture showrooms at Hickory Furniture Mart will give you a good feel for the size and scale available. Encased in simple frames, photographs of blossoms in bloom to gritty black and white subjects are showing up everywhere, even elegant dressy rooms. Their artistic statement can’t be avoided as the new printing processes allow for extreme clarity. Large scale photographs add a fresh take on a traditional room, and allow for a sublime impact in a modern room.
There are also many resources that offer large scale pieces of black and white or color photography. Archives of both classic and new images, ranging from sleek architecture to iconic movie stars such as Audrey Hepburn are easily found. Color landscapes that have incredible clarity are awe inspiring – an entire room can be built around particular works.
While more of a modern statement, this type of art will find a home in a traditional style space just as easy. A large scale photo will anchor a wall as well as add dimension to a room. Combine photography with other works of art for a visual treat and make the room your favorite choice to sit in. Stop into our North Carolina furniture showrooms to see how this form of art can work in your home.
