Accessorize The Walls With Beautiful Art by Bonnie P. Carrier
Generally when accessorizing a room is mentioned you think of lamps, area rugs, floral arraignments etc. However, there is one more important accessory that should not be forgotten - Art Work.
Hanging framed prints or posters adds personality to any room. It’s not only a way to bring in color and texture it will also give the room a finished look.When choosing prints look for pieces that will complement your rooms decor style and also the eye.
If you are a renter this is a marvelous way to bring punches of color when painting walls is not an option. It’s also a great way to bring your personality into a room. For example: love of flowers, landscapes, sports or possibly a favorite artist.
When purchasing prints remember groupings of picture will bring interest to a wall. Instead of one single picture look for several with the same theme - different shapes will add more interest - and frame style.
Before hanging any pictures one tip - place the pictures on the floor and play around with the configuration until you come upon one you really like. This step will save your walls from looking like a piece of Swiss cheese. Keep groupings fairly close together and remember to hang at eye level.
Prints and posters are not the only option for use as a wall accessory. Several more ideas are listed below.
One last tip - before purchasing any art be sure to take into consideration the size of the wall you intend to use. In other words if it’s a large expanse of wall several extra large prints will be more in scale than a group of tiny prints.
