Backlit Wall Art: The Future of Large Wall Décor

Backlit wall art is the newest wave for home decor products. Backlit Fabric has become an exceptional alternative to traditional forms of oversized wall art. For instance, it allows LED light to shine through and highlight the artwork in ways never seen before. The backlit graphics are sewn with a silicone beading and stretched over the frame for an edgeless appearance.

The durable fabric is paired with an advanced printing process that produces vibrant colors and impeccable image quality. As a result, the art pieces illuminate a room and bring artwork to life in a unique way.

Are you someone who likes to have your fine artwork stand out prominently on your wall? Specifically, does that mean that you prefer to dedicate some lighting to your paintings, photos and other pieces? If so, and if you did this in the past, reaching this objective likely meant that you were contracting and paying electricians to install light fixtures that you also paid for so that you could achieve the desired effect. For many people, this proved to be expensive, and the lights used looked bulky and obviously seemed to be built in after the fact. Fortunately, that’s all changing now. People can feature pieces prominently by way of backlit wall art, as technology has advanced to the point where this is now a practical, relatively affordable and reasonable way to put art out for everyone to appreciate.

Backlit wall décor adds an ambience to any space that’s difficult to describe, although the beauty and subtle lighting concepts speak for themselves when people see the entire display. Backlit wall art still manages to feature the piece or pieces you want to make sure people see and appreciate without completely dominating the room such that you really can’t even notice much of anything else. This new form of display is only going to increase in popularity for quite a few reasons.

 

Why Backlit Wall Art Is Emerging – How It Works

Dynamic Color Quality

Using a premium backlit fabric, the graphics are printed using a dye-sublimation process. This ensures the colors in the artwork stay true to their original form. Above all, the color quality and detail produce a superior image and are unparalleled by the alternatives for large wall decor.



Edgeless Framing

After printing, the sewing process attaches a silicone beading to the edge of the fabric. The artwork pieces have an edgeless design by stretching the backlit fabric over the frame and slide into the channel along the edge of the lightbox. This design gives the artwork a smooth appearance to enhance the style of your wall art.

Past Challenges of Backlit Wall Art

However, in the past LED backlit wall art has rarely been seen as home wall decor. Brands and retailers have been using backlit signage for years in the form of lightboxes intended to catch shoppers attention. Nonetheless, few people used them as wall art for their home. 

The main reason for this is that the framing, often referred to as lightboxes, was difficult to transport and install. Not to mention, the printed backlit artwork had been hard to find. Consequently, these barriers have kept backlit art on the sidelines while canvas and framed prints became mainstream. 



The obstacles facing people who want a lightbox to display their artwork are now long in the past. The lightboxes are now more portable. Also, finding where to purchase one of these incredible pieces of art is now accessible to everyone. Your guests will be awestruck when they enter your home. Backlit wall décor speaks volumes and is the ultimate word for extra large wall décor. Welcome to the future of large wall art.
