Wood Wall Art

Wood is the warmest surface you can put on a wall. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, carries grain that no two panels share, and brings a room down in temperature in a way that metal and glass cannot. It is also the material that best survives changing taste, which is why timber panelling outlasts most things hung near it.

Nearly every piece in this collection is carved, cut or assembled rather than printed. Slatted panels build rhythm from repeated battens; sculpted reliefs are shaped and sanded by hand; parquet and marquetry work sets tone against tone across a surface. A number combine timber with metal, sandstone or leather for contrast. Almost all of it stands proud of the wall, which is why the collection sits largely within our 3D wall art range.

The character is contemporary and mostly non-representational. Four in five pieces are abstract and around half are built on geometry, from fanned arcs to interlocking tiles. White and natural tones lead, with blue, green and black running through where timber is stained or paired. There is a distinct Scandinavian and wabi sabi strand in the range, which you can browse in Nordic art, wabi sabi art and organic art.

Most pieces run between 80cm and 130cm, with two in five passing 160cm for larger walls and stairwells. Timber suits living rooms, offices and hallways, and works particularly well in spaces with hard floors and plaster walls that need softening. Keep it away from damp and direct heat. For the same forms in a colder material, see our metal wall art.

Every piece of wood wall art we make is handcrafted to order by our artists, designed in Birmingham and made in our worldwide studios. Standard production takes around three to four weeks, and we offer free worldwide shipping.
