We’re frequently told to think about the setting of furniture as well as moldings when putting art, however a fresher take is to fail to remember “the rules” as well as just go for it! Hanging art off-center, over top of moldings, or lower than what galleries would usually suggest can add genuine energy to rooms.

The key to unforeseen placement is making it look purposeful: a painting that is almost centered on a wall can look like a mistake, while installing a piece noticeably off-kilter produces edgy asymmetry. In this bedroom, a graphic canvas has been hung to the right side of a wall panel, adding just a touch of visual tension to the space.

If you have little framed snapshots peppered throughout your home, think about clustering them together in single-theme displays. For example, centralize a number of vintage household pictures on one table or console; it’ll produce a style moment that feels thoughtful as well as intentional. (Family photos aren’t something you see displayed agreat deal in major shelter magazines, however I believe that with a bit interest to screen they can be a great style element!)

This technique of screen is looser as well as more spontaneous than the others I’ve suggested, as well as it’s extremely simple to do. just tuck pictures or art cards randomly under the frame of a mirror to produce a cool, collage-like effect. This what I perform in my own home, as well as my screens are always changing.
