Decorating Walls Without Cluttering
From art and mirrors to elaborate arrangements of personal photos and collectibles, we find everything on the walls of a typical home. Nobody likes to stare at bare walls and very soon they become a place to show off our families, academic achievements, travels and important occasions. Often, they become cluttered and overcrowded, compromising the harmony and balance of a room.
So, how can you use your walls to display your prized possessions and keep them clutter-free? To achieve this you have to think balance. Blank space on walls is as important to achieve the right balance as art, mirrors, collections and other possessions. Strike a good balance and you will have an interesting room without compromising the flow and openness.
Here are a few styles of arranging art, photos or other items you may want to display.
A simple way to hang multiple framed pictures is to split the arrangement down the middle along a straight horizontal or vertical line.
I love these great ideas for creating interesting wall decor:
Old World Charm
Black and White Photography
Attractive Prints
My most favorite style of wall display is a striking piece of art or arrangement of objects that helps create a focal point. Art plays a very important part in all my design and staging projects. I select artwork based on the feeling of the home, the location of the property and the people who live in it. Art, in my opinion, has to capture the very essence of a home and all other decor can be derived from it.
I particularly like simple abstract art in a variety of medium depicting nature, black and white photography, architectural sketches and maps.
I am not a huge fan of haphazardness even though I believe some artistic randomness is essential to create interest in an otherwise symmetrical or uniform arrangement. Clutter on walls is a huge problem in homes that need staging. If you have a large collection of art, photos and other items you want to display, think of grouping them to create a uniform pattern. That helps avoid clutter but allows you to express your personal belongings.
Keep it clutter-free. Until next time. Happy Decorating!
