Art is an interesting item in home decor – most of us either do one of two things, struggle to fit all of our art collection into our tiny space, or others struggle to include any art at all! This is no problem, it just depends on the type of person you are and the styles that you prefer.
However, you have to admit, once your home is fully decorated, you will feel as though the walls are stark and bare. No matter how much, or what kind of art you have – typically, deciding how to hang it and in what type of frame, can be easier said than done. Below we have accumulated a list of seven different ways you can hang art in your home in a 'cool' way – these are not expensive options, nor do you have to be handy to do it right! So grab those old photographs you took in college, pull out the larger canvas pieces you've been confused by for so long – and get to hanging!
Big format pieces are either harder, or easier, to include depending on your living situation. If you have any larger rooms, like a large living or dining room, with vast walls and large furniture, big format pieces seem like an obvious choice here.
Depending on the format size, a large format piece can be hung like seen in this example, to cover a whole wall – or used as a statement pieces with much smaller pieces surrounding it. One thing we want you to think about is that since large art pieces are so dominate in any space, make sure you're willing to use a similar colour scheme in your room that matches the colours provided in the piece. This example is great because the teal pillows add a pop of colour that brings out the blue/green colour scheme in the large format map! Here's another example of how to properly integrate a big format piece into a bedroom!
Tip: Keep lighting fixtures minimal and interesting if you're using extremely large pieces – one can end up taking away from the other!
If you find yourself stumbling to cover unused or unnecessary wall space after redecorating or renovating your home – look no further than random pieces of art and cool shelving techniques.
As seen here, graphic prints and photography in various placements on the wall can take up space faster than you think. This designer decided on a more eclectic look, and although the hanging is of a more formal nature, the different sizes, types, colours and addition of a single shelf make it calm, cool and collected! If a more traditional look is your taste, then check out this example for a formal living room set-up!
You would think that the word informal
would make it an easier and more nonchalant project – think again. When you have random pieces of art together in different frames, brainstorming ways in which to hang them 'informally' can actually be kind of hard!
We suggest that in order to conquer this problem that you take the largest piece or two pieces of the bunch and decide where to place these first. Either place them across from each other vertically or horizontally – and then think about the spaces you can place the smaller pieces in. The best part about this process is that nothing has to be even or symmetrical - just play around! If you look at this example we've provided, nothing is even, no lines match-up, and there is no symmetry whatsoever to the placement! Force yourself to find freedom in this exercise, not headache! We promise that either way, you will get compliments!
Showing unexpected works of art in your home is easier than you think. Consider odd pieces you've found at flea markets, junk stores and thrift stores – or simply old pieces you have but don't know what to do with.
Placing pieces like these in bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms is all acceptable. In this bedroom example, the designer decided to place a round, linear mirror beside three, unframed prints of wild flowers. You would never normally place pieces like this together, but with the exposed brick walls and the rustic wooden furnishings – it works perfectly!
Most would see it as an unfortunate turn of events to have certain areas of the home with no windows – yet, it happens. Worry no more! Art can be a wonderful replacement for those items you feel that you lack in your home. Between the right art, and the right light fixtures, you might never even notice the windows you've been without for so long.
This bedroom is a wonderful example of how big formatted, interesting art and great light fixtures (that even match!) can add an outdoors-element to any room. Make sure when using art and light fixtures that you're using art that will properly diffuse your artificial light, as to make it seem as natural light!
Art with no-frames is becoming more and more accepted in the design and art world. With frames causing so much fuss (and money) many are beginning to wonder why a frame should be such a discussion when the art should be allowed to speak for itself!
So, let your art do just that! What is great about using no frames is that it will instantly prove to be a modern, sleek and sophisticated look, without even trying! This also works on all types of art, from the smallest stamped prints, to the largest canvas oils and even photography. With that much versatility, it's a wonder you haven't tried it already!
Here is a great example of a graphic print unframed – to prove how fabulous this look really is!
To make things easier on ourselves, we tend to stick with ideas and inspirations that we see in magazines and online. These inspirations typically provide horizontal, traditionally-hung art.
Why not mix things up and go for taller, higher, vertical pieces to play with the height of our rooms? Playing with vertically exposed art can add height to rooms that have none, or for super-high rooms with taller ceilings, vertically exposed art can break up the stark feeling of the walls! Like in this example if you have low-laying furniture and seating, think about tall, narrow art that can offset this look!
