Wall Art at Victoria Station

Victoria Station has long been known for our variety and large selection of wall art. In just the past 2 weeks, we have received 2 new shipments of wall art, including many new nautical pieces, floral, impressionistic, geometric, traditional, and this year’s BIG thing, trees! Many of our customers make Victoria Station a destination, while on their search for new art. Others fall in love with a piece, when they are least expecting it. We encourage you to take photos of the room and wall where you need your new addition and measure, if possible. We will try to help you find that perfect thing to complete the space. Many of the pieces, are the new trend, with an abstract pattern, that can be a great backdrop for your existing sculpture, lamps, bowls, etc. In years past, most wall art had a specific subject matter, for instance wildlife, landscapes, beach scenes, etc. While artwork with a specific subject is still the majority of what we sell, we are seeing customers that do like the more abstract pieces, adding color, dimension, and patterns to a room, without setting a theme. For a wide variety of wall art at the Lake of the Ozarks, come see us.


In years past, wall art was very traditional, with multiple mats, glass, and a heavy frame. That style of artwork always created a challenge in lake houses that usually have many large windows that face the lake, creating a glare on the glass, which can make the print or art difficult to see. Thank goodness, wall art has changed!!!

1.  Stretched canvas is the thing! This type of art is much as the title suggests, the picture is applied to the canvas, and it is stretched, and wrapped around a simple wooden frame, that is not seen. This lightweight art, is fun, easy to hang, has great vibrant colors, and features no glare!

2.  Brushstrokes are also great, similar to the stretch canvas, there is no glass, but the image is applied to a more sturdy board structure, and framed. This type, again, has the positive feature of not having a glare, the colors are more intense, and some even have more paint applied, creating a hand painted look, with tons of texture! Even with the addition of the frame, these are typically more lightweight than the traditional frame with glass from previous years.

3.  Mirrors. We have a selection of mirrors in traditional, contemporary, and even a nautical feel. These are great added to a small guest room or hallway, making the small space appear larger. The style in bathroom mirrors, over a bathroom vanity is the framed mirror, instead of plate glass, and many of our mirrors would work for this purpose as well.

4.  Wood and metal sculptures are a great addition when decorating or redecorating spaces. Depth and interest can be added to a room, when mixing both flat pictures with shaped wood or metal sculptures on the wall.

5.  Wood plaques and signs. With an interesting mix of wood signs with fun, silly, sentimental, and inspirational sayings, plus board signs with images applied, these make great thank you and hostess gift!

Whether you are adding new touches to an existing lake home, condo, office, business, or your primary residence, remember Victoria Station when you are in need of wall decor! Of course, being at The Lake, we have a large selection of artwork that is appropriate around the area.
