Outdoor Wall Art – Metal Wall Art
With courtyards and smaller areas Outdoor wall art is an excellent way of adding interest to a blank wall, and some strategically placed pieces that can be viewed from both inside and out can add extra value to any property.
With wonderful new materials for wall art, including corten steel and lightweight aluminium panels, metal is the ‘new thing’ for outdoor design in Australia.
Wall art for the garden and outdoor areas
Designs range from individual, commissioned designs through to more commercial styles of wall art. We have seen some fantastic garden walls decorated with aluminium panels, (lightweight) using ceramic tiles made in art classes by primary school students, we have also seem some almost 2 dimensional sculptures made from metal, copper and glass created by prominent artists.
Wall art is not limited to single pieces, panels put together to form a larger body of work are great for covering large areas or to flow from one area to another. Especially useful in outdoor entertaining areas where some subtle lighting can illuminate the art at night. So besides design ideas that fit in with your personal taste and the overall look of the garden what should you be looking for in and outdoor wall art ?
- weather resistant materials, the art is outside in the garden
- non corrosive material, metal can look great with a little rust, so the choice is yours
- lightweight materials for hanging on walls

- art that says something about you, your garden and your surroundings
