Artful Arrangements Part III

Hello hello... 

I'm back with Part III of my series Artful Arrangements, which is basically a compilation of inspiring images depicting spaces with gorgeous walls full of art/photography/you name it!  

These days art is incredibly diverse, it's in the eye of the beholder - so anything goes!  There are oodles of objects that we can throw up on the wall to create art, for example antique keys, decorative plates, crosses, empty decorative frames (like the image above) and just about any framed/shadowboxed memento your heart desires.  There are endless ideas for creating art and there are tons of crafty ways to display it - so it can get overwhelming.  However, like I've mentioned in my previous art posts (links listed below), I've heard a lot of people complain that getting their art up on the wall is the most difficult part...  It can be daunting, but just remember, there's no right or wrong way anymore.  Gone are the days of hanging things centered and at eye level!  Like I said, these days anything goes, hang your art from floor to ceiling for drama, in stacked rows for a sense of order, or in a interlocking staggered grid for a wonderful gallery feel.  Let your creativity guide you, whatever works for you is what will look best!

Artful Arrangements Part II

This is Part II of my "Artful Arrangements" ongoing series, a compilation of images from all over the web showing gorgeous and eclectic examples of framed artwork and other wall decor that have been artfully arranged in eye pleasing ways.  To me, wall decor should be seen as a type of decorative vignette with different colors, shapes, textures and materials that all strive to give a room life, personality, individuality and overall character.

There are a lot of great ideas in this post to help you start your very own art wall vignette, or perhaps inspire you to work on the one you already have or just motivate you to finally hang up all that art you have stashed away!!

If you are the type who can never get anything up on the wall out of fear that it won't look right, here are some of my tips:

- First, arrange and rearrange all frames and objects to your liking on the floor in front of the wall where you want to hang it OR use brown paper grocery bags to cut out the shapes of your frames and other objects and then play with them on the wall to see what looks best (when you're done you can even hammer your nail right through the paper to mark the exact spot!) 

- Second, make sure to mix different colors, shapes, textures and most importantly: objects!  Throw in an antique key, shadow box, cross, mirror, candle holder or anything that you can find a way to hang that looks good up on the wall.  Variety creates a worldly, eclectic and collected look that can give a room great personality!

- Third, JUST DO IT!  Trust me, just get it up on that wall, you'll feel a lot better and so will your space!
