Picture and gallery walls are a great way to freshen up your space with things you already have at home. Especially, during the COVD-19 pandemic when you’ve been looking at the same boring wall for months! Hanging art and pictures doesn’t have to be daunting. It’s all about showing off the things you love most. Here are my top 5 tips to get you started!
- Before you start making holes in the wall, spread everything out on the floor to visualize how it all will look
- Hang the largest piece first, place it off-centre, and build around it.
- Stack them, make diamonds or rectangles with a series of pictures
- Think coordinating, not matching. Frames don’t have to match, but stick to a theme. It’s all about the balancing color, mediums and texture.
- Don’t forget to add non-photo items. Menus from favorite restaurants, mirrors, striking wooden cutting boards, treasured child art-work, or small plants can all look gorgeous when hung up
