You may not realize this, but The Shopping Channel also offers some amazing artwork and wall accents. Accessorizing is my favourite part of decorating, it’s what makes a house a home and enables you to express your own personality.

But, it comes with its own set of challenges; how, for example, to display all my artwork. Whether you’re juggling a wall of art or simply want to display your family photographs, hanging and displaying art can be tricky.

It takes incredible skill to create an eclectic salon-style display, a skill I’m afraid I always don’t have.  But, there are some tricks to make it easier:

(1) Frame all your pictures in similar frames. Neutral frames with an off-white mount is my fail-safe choice. With many affordable frames in this style out there, it also makes budgetary sense.

(2) If you’re displaying photography, opt for either all colour or black-and-white photographs. It’s easier to deal with one or the other, rather than mix and match.

(3) Plan! Before you start pounding nails into walls, arrange your hanging on the floor as you intend to hang it. If you’re hanging a large grouping, I suggest cutting the picture shapes out in craft paper and taping the cut-outs to the wall too, so you can better visualize how the display will look on the wall.

(4) Don’t hang artwork too high or too low. The middle of the picture or display should be at eye level.

(5) If you want more flexibility to rearrange, use a picture ledge or shelf instead of hanging pictures. That way you can create different vignettes season-to-season without wrecking your walls.

(6) Give art space to breathe! Large scale or dramatic pieces are the star of any decor production. Practice restraint and let them shine!

At this time of year, there’s lots of buzz about new looks for fashion and beauty. But don’t overlook your home! Whether you need to redecorate or just shake up some accessories, there are options for every style of interior. Here are some inspiration boards to spark your imagination.
