About Texas Wall Art and Lone Star Decor
You can usually tell within a second whether a piece of Texas decor was made by someone who knows the state or by someone who ran a flag through a template. The difference is in how the Lone Star is handled. Our Texas flag reads as a flag that has lived outdoors, with a rust patina printed into the artwork, or as a clean graphic star with no weathering at all. Both are the same design doing two very different jobs: one for a ranch house or a barn wall, one for a modern room where the star should stay sharp.
The rest of the collection follows the same idea. A longhorn cattle ranch sign carries a family name and a brand, so it belongs on a gate or an entrance rather than above a couch. The Black Gold oil art belongs in an office or a study. We would rather give you three honest pieces that each know their room than a wall of Texas shapes that could hang anywhere.

How to Choose Between Canvas and Metal
Choose canvas when the piece is going on an interior wall and you want depth and a softer surface. It arrives gallery wrapped on a kiln dried pine frame, ready to hang, and the wrapped edge means it reads well without a frame around it. Canvas is an indoor material only.
Choose metal when the wall faces the weather, or when you want a flatter, harder surface with more punch in daylight. We print onto 3mm (1/8 inch) aluminum composite, which holds colour under direct sun and does not swell or warp in humidity. It is the right call for a barn wall, a ranch entrance, a covered porch or a patio.
One thing worth saying plainly: our signs are graphically printed. The rust, the weathered wood and the aged metal you see in the artwork are printed effects, not real rust and not real wood. There is no embossing, no raised lettering and no engraved lettering. We print it to look as if it has those effects, and we would rather tell you that up front than have you find out when the box opens.
How to Size and Hang Texas Wall Art
The rule that saves most people from ordering wrong: a piece should span about two thirds of the width of whatever it hangs above. Over a 72 inch couch, that is roughly a 48 inch piece. Over a 60 inch console, roughly 40 inches. Before you order, run painter's tape on the wall at the exact size and leave it there for a day. It costs nothing and it is the single best way to see whether the size is right in your room rather than on a screen.
For height, centre the piece 57 to 60 inches from the floor, which puts it at eye level for most people. If it is going above furniture, leave 6 to 10 inches of clear wall between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the art so the two read as one group instead of two. Outdoors on a barn or a gate, go larger than feels right indoors: a sign that looks big in a garage looks small on a barn wall from the road.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Texas wall art does Tailor Made Rooms make?
A: Tailor Made Rooms makes Texas state flag wall art in a rustic distressed design and a clean modern design, personalized longhorn cattle ranch signs, and Black Gold industrial oil art. Every piece comes in gallery wrapped canvas for indoor rooms or 3mm aluminum composite for outdoor walls.
Q: Can Texas wall art go outside on a barn or a gate?
A: Yes, on the metal option. The 3mm aluminum composite is weatherproof and UV stable, which suits barn walls, ranch entrances, gates, covered porches and patios. Canvas is for indoor rooms only. If the wall sees weather, choose metal every time.
Q: Is the rust on the distressed Texas flag real rust?
A: No. The weathered, oxidized look is a high resolution print, not actual rust. There is no flaking, no staining and nothing to maintain. The aged look is the design, not the material.
Q: Can I put a family name or a ranch brand on a Texas sign?
A: Yes on the cattle ranch signs, which are built to carry a family name, a ranch name, a brand or an established year. The Texas flag can also take a name. Enter your text with your order and we will work it into the artwork before anything is printed.
Q: How big can a Texas sign go for a barn wall or a ranch entrance?
A: The listed sizes run up to 96 inches wide and we can go larger than that on request. For a barn wall seen from a road or a driveway, bigger is almost always the right answer. Tell us the wall and we will tell you what size holds it.
Q: Do you ship Texas wall art outside the United States?
A: We ship free to the USA and Canada. Texas pieces are made for American homes, but if you are a Texan living in Canada, or you are sending one across the border as a gift, the shipping is covered either way.
Q: Is printed aluminum the same as a powder coated steel Texas sign?
A: No, and it is the main difference between us and most Texas sign makers. Cut steel and routed wood give you a shape. Printing onto aluminum composite gives you full colour, fine detail and effects like a rust patina that cutting cannot produce. Neither is better in the abstract. If you want a cut silhouette, buy steel. If you want artwork, this is how artwork is made.
