How about decorating the walls this Christmas? Looking for something different and new to decorate the walls, just moved into a new home or you need to brighten up the room? It’s simple! Just decorate your walls with wall hangings, wall signs, home goods, photo frame or photo collage. Let the wall be the perfect canvas for your creative or not so creative ideas.

Like furniture, wall signs and accents can change the look and mood of the room immediately. When wall signs, hangings and photo frames are hung systematically, the wall will look like a piece from the art gallery, the wall of fame. When the design principles are not followed, the wall will be the perfect wall of shame.

Here are a few tips and trick to an arty wall

  • As a thumb rule, the width of artwork should be 0.57% of the width of the wall. For example, if the wall is 4 feet wide, the artwork should be 4 X 0.57 = 2.28 feet wide.
  • If you are grouping the art work, treat it as one cluster like you would treat a single piece.
  • Use the museum approach to decide the height where the wall decor has to be hung. It should be 145 cm from the floor plus half the length of the painting.
  • When hanging multiple pieces in a room, consider the walls, windows, doors and furniture. Hang the art at a comfortable eye level and In relation to what is already existing in the room.
  • For hanging art behind the sofa, it should be 2/3rd the width of the sofa and about 15-20 cm above the sofa top.
  • If hanging some wall decor above the fireplace, maintain the 2/3rd width, but hang the art 10-30 cm above the mantle depending what you are placing on the mantle.
  • On the dining room wall, place the frame or wall accent at a lower height as it should be comfortably visible while sitting.
  • My favorite is hanging pictures and wall signs along the staircase. Use the same museum approach.
  • Plan the layout by colors, size. You can use the grid method or the modern method where top and bottom border line is maintained while the vertical line can be crooked as different sizes of frames or signs are used.
