Digital art is quickly pacing up to be the contemporary home décor style that is here to stay – Let’s explore more of it.
Here, I don’t feel the need to discuss art and how it is a real blessing for home décor. Art is the most precious home décor accessory of interior designers and homemakers. Like a painting on the wall, a sculpture on the tabletop or as everyday objects – we cannot deny the presence of art in our beautiful homes. Believe it or not, today, most of the art forms exhibited inside your home are a D-Art creation.
Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries.

Yes, it is true. The motif on your morning cup, the pattern on your bed linen or the texture on your floor tile – it is all digital art. Can you imagine the types of digital art we have in our homes, without even knowing of it? Now, mostly this art form is found in everyday objects – your crockery, your table mats or curtains. But there are many more exciting ways to embrace the creations of this new-age technology. Let’s explore more.
Digital Art
Digital art is the name for computer-generated creations by real artists. For centuries the craft of art meant an artist is holding a tool like a paintbrush or a chisel to sculpt – creating a hand-crafted wonder. Digital art is also about the creation of art in many different forms and types. However, instead of hand-held tools, digital painting is created on a computer- the hardware and niche software are the tools for Digital Art. Nevertheless, the creations are as vibrant and engaging as a real art – the only difference being that digital is made virtually.
Digital art is coming in big in our spaces, especially homes. Broadly there are four ways to experience the high-tech creations
– Printed on canvas or stamped on surfaces
– Modelled by 3D printers
– Projected on LCD screens
– Cast by Laser beams

Digital art in Home Decor
Painting Digital art
Wall paintings from digital means are the best thing to happen for home décor themes. Today, the technology of canvas printing is available, in matt and gloss effects. With online printing services, you can get any high-quality image printed on any canvas size. And the best part is that as compared to a hand-painted canvas, the digital print canvas is a real bargain.
Stamped Digital art
Here is a rather broad category that is everywhere and in every room of your home – from coasters to cosmetic bottles. The fun bit about digital art is the flexibility of size – the same motif can be stamped on different objects of varying sizes. Same cannot be said for hand-crafted art. I mean, with handmade art, every piece is unique, and that’s the beauty of it. In the D-Art, the ‘similar yet not the same’ character is exciting. Amazing technology!
Projected on LCD screens
Todays’ amazing technology of screens is like a stage for Digital art exhibits. The feature to cast an image on a display of your choice is a unique advantage. Once you find your fascination for digital creativity, you can choose to enjoy it on a new screen in a different room every day. Now that the luxury of I call the D-Art.
Cast by Laser beams
Let’s pace ahead into the future to embrace the art made in thin air, by laser beams. Newer digital technology is both amusing and impressive – it projects 3D images in thin air. Yes, just like a hologram, but with depth. You must have seen the display in hi-fi movies like the star trek. And not very long from now, this 3D art may become the trending home décor choice. Get ready to have the look of an Italian marble wall or a crystal sculpture via virtual laser beams.
Plenty of debate surrounds the D-art. Some say technology makes the craft sustainable; while others discard it as an invalid non-art form. Maybe the art form is not worthy of high society exhibits. We say, in home décor, the era of digital is making our residences more tasteful. At the least, it has made art affordable for everyone.
With the digitization, art is now an everyday joy at almost every home. Now, as with all creative forms, there are superiors and seconds. So, choose your art with a keen eye; because, in the end, art is always an investment. Let’s décor with art now!
