Decorating Walls 101 - Not All Walls Are Created Equal!

Wall decor is anything that is hung on a wall. This includes Mirrors, Prints, Pictures, Posters, Shelves and Sconces It is important to remember that your wall decor should makes sense and be in balance with your furniture. Artwork should mirror the shape of the furnishing beneath it and not extend in width. A common misconception is to hang your art at “eye level” only problem with that is everyone has a different one. Who’s eye level do we use? Forget it! A no fail solution is to hang the piece center five to five and a half feet from the floor when there is nothing under it. All bets are off when hanging pieces above a substantial piece of furniture. You then want to center the piece both horizontally and vertically above said item. (couch, headboard etc.) More importantly than placement is line, scale and proportion. Size does matter in the world of wall decor. You don’t want to hang a little picture behind a large sofa just as you would not hang a enormous piece behind a small chair. The placement of art is dictated by what it is next to. If you would like to make a collage try to keep the frames similar. If you are dealing with several different shapes you can pull it together by painting the frames all the same color. Remember to keep the collage in proportion with the piece beneath it. Mirrors can be of great benefit in many rooms. Not only do they reflect light back but they also can make the room appear larger. When placing a mirror it is important to remember what will be in the reflection. You may want to strategically position a treasured item so as to see it twice.
