Hello world! Welcome Friends! Artwork is an essential in any interior design. When it comes to hanging art in your house, it can be a little trickier than expected. You might find yourself unsure of where to hang a certain piece. You might notice that certain pieces of artwork look weird when hung close to one another. Or you might just struggle when it comes to knowing what type of artwork to even hang.
If you find yourself in any of the latter dilemmas, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll assist you in hanging art around your house quite effortlessly.
1. Measure Before You Buy
A big mistake when buying artwork for your walls is not measuring beforehand. You might find that the piece you just bought is way too large or small for the spot you wanted it. And you might even find that it doesn’t exactly fit or look good anywhere else in your home.
2. Play Around with Different Orientations
Have you ever seen a piece of artwork in a store, only to be confused as to which way it’s supposed to be hung? Pieces like these can easily be hung as a vertical or landscape painting, which can certainly give you more options when hanging it around your house.
3. When in Doubt, Go Abstract
Some people are picky when it comes to wall art. For instance, they may not be a fan of art featuring scenery, worrying that their home may look too outdated and traditional. Maybe they don’t even know what theme would look best in their home in general. That’s when it’s a good idea to go abstract so you can focus on pieces with certain colors or textures instead of themes.
4. Don’t Fear Feminine Pieces
Some people find it weird decorating in a manner that’s too feminine. While it’s understandable, it’s also not something to fear. A home can have great feminine touches, like a painting of a flower bouquet, and still have masculine or gender-neutral touches without looking tacky.
5. Include Some Work of Your Own
It’s fun going to a store to look for some new artwork to hang inside your home. However, it’s also fun including some of your own work on your walls. This can be in the form of an abstract painting or even in the form of photography. This is one way to make your home unique and truly yours.
6. Try a Gallery Style Wall
If you have several pieces of artwork or pictures that you just don’t know what to do with, or if you have a large empty wall needing to be filled, a gallery style wall might be a great option for you to try. Not to mention, gallery style walls are more avant garde and have less “rules,” making them easy to create.
7. Remember That Not Every Piece Has to be Hung
Hanging art is a must. But it’s also a good idea to display artwork in other manners in your home. Consider sitting framed works on your fireplace mantle, on an entryway table, or on a shelf. This is especially great for smaller pieces.
Conclusion
Artwork isn’t always easy to incorporate in a house. There are many challenges that come with it. On the bright side, you too can learn just how easy and fun it can be to hang art around your interior space, all while making it look magical in the end.
