Celebrities have long been style icons, dazzling us with the flair they put into their fashion and lifestyles. Their luxurious wall art is no exception.
From vibrant street art that conjures up urban scapes to eye-pleasing minimalist images, the walls of these trendsetters make a statement. You can follow their example and bring aspects of the rich and famous into your home — without breaking the bank. To paraphrase fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, luxury isn’t about buying expensive things but living in a way where you appreciate things. And the wall trends of 2023 offer much to treasure.
Street art
Celebrities like Justin Bieber and Tyler the Creator have long held a deep respect for street art with its creative lettering, abstract images, vivid colours, and unrestrained style. They’re bringing it into their homes in graffiti-inspired prints and urban landscapes to create a look that’s fresh and edgy.
Calming art
Creating art isn’t the only way to destress; in fact, studies find just viewing art can have significant health benefits. With their busy lives, celebrities are tapping into the power of soothing images in their homes. This year, expect to see serene landscapes, circular shapes, and plenty of symmetry that is sure to put you in a good mood with just one gaze.
Abstract art
With abstract wall art spotted in the homes of Catherine Zeta-Jones’s palatial New York home and Prince Harry’s Montecito, California abode, there’s every reason to splurge on some beautiful wall art yourself. Abstract art inspires with its bold colours, fluid lines, and abstract shapes. If you’re looking to modernise a room, this type of art is the ideal choice for a contemporary space.
Nature-inspired art
Flip through People magazine, and you’re sure to read about celebrities heading off to exotic locations for some rest and relaxation. As biophilic design and sustainable living trends, nature-inspired art is sure to dominate the walls of the well-heeled. Consider it yourself with botanical prints, animal depictions, and floral patterns.
Art deco
The art deco style is characterised by smooth lines, geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and bright (often garish) colours. Popular in the Roaring 20s, a time of great prosperity, you don’t need two guesses why celebrities love it. Favoured by Gwyneth Paltrow and Jim Carrey, this art style will also capture the eye of any visitors to your home.
Curated art
Nothing screams luxury more than having something unique that no one else does. Celebrities are notable for having artwork curated and personalised for their homes, and there’s nothing stopping you from doing just that. You can easily frame your best works. The kids will love seeing their drawings and paintings proudly displayed. However, you can also get a professional to do it affordably by sourcing freelance services on Fiverr or Upwork.
Family portraits
Yes, placing family photos on the wall isn't groundbreaking. However, the way celebrities are doing it is taking it to the next level. From Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan creating a wall gallery that captures his illustrious family tree to the posed image of Property Brother Drew Scott’s family above the fireplace, there’s a little more thought going into the snaps and display of it all.
Art gallery walls
Showing a collection of wall art or a gallery is still going strong as a trend in 2023. And celebrities are not complaining. It’s a striking way to add appeal to a bare wall, tell a visual narrative, and display your favourite decor items. The trick is to find the right space (they shouldn’t create clutter), have a cohesive element that ties everything together, and ensure your art is spaced out evenly. A white or neutral-toned wall is a popular choice to keep the focus on the art.
Minimalist art
In a world of chaos, the minimalist trend has never been more popular. Celebrities continue to embrace the less-is-more approach to their homes and that’s also apparent in their art. Like Kanye West and his Malibu Mansion decorated with minimalist art, you can embrace pieces that make an impact through simplicity. Look for art with clean lines and a monochromatic colour palette to add an air of refinement to any room.
