Decoration Ideas

Wall art should bring the design components of your room together. A piece of art, no matter how beautiful, would lose its attractiveness if hanged in a wrong place in an improper way. If your art is clustered together or all alone in a desert of wall then you need to learn the different ways of organizing and designing your wall art just like a professional.

Here are a few easy tips to help you out.

Variety is the spice of life with framed art:

First, allow your artistic side roam free. It is not essential for all the art to be the same size or use the same style of frame. You can use frames, mats and images of various sizes, colors and textures for a superbly blended complement.

Group framed wall art in pairs, threes or fours:

You need to endeavor for balance instead of uniformity. You may group your art in twos, threes, or even fours. Consider hanging four small, same-sized pictures together in a foursquare to give the illusion of a large picture. Or else, consider hanging two smaller pieces on both sides of a larger piece to fill out a large wall.

Create templates to visualize layout of framed art:

Before hanging any art, creating paper templates is very useful in determining the best design. For this you will need:

1). Paper (an old roll of gift wrap or butcher’s paper)

2). Pencil

3). Scissors

4). Tape

Procedure of creating your framed art design:

Firstly, put the individual pieces of art out on the paper and trace around them. Now cut out the patterns and tape the templates to the wall to acquire a feel for the way you would like them displayed.

Additional Tips:

Highlight your artwork with lighting or you can use mirrors to add space and also to bring elements of diversity to the room. Following tips are quite useful in order to keep your pictures looking good:

1). Do not place your art near steamy showers or heat sources.

2). Avoid direct sunlight on the framed art print.

Framed art is an outlet to express yourself and your artistic instinct. Select sentimental items like family photos or select your favorite pieces of art to reflect the personality of your home.
