Make Your Wall Decors Work For Style

Photographs on the walls are common decorations to make a room look full complete and personal

. Wall hangings are a long practiced decorating method but one that never goes out of style. However, it's still important to bear in mind the right way to hang wall decors to achieve maximum beautifying results. Here are few reminders for wall hangings:

The first thing to consider is where you should hang the picture. Always remember pictures should hang at eye level. There is ongoing debate about what exactly "eye level" is. Does it mean the eye level of viewers when standing or when sitting? One of the best ways to decide what "eye level" is for your room is to consider the purpose of the room. Whether people will be standing or sitting the majority of the time determines what "eye level" is for that room. Ask yourself "where do I want my guest's eyes to focus?"

Second, is the arrangement. By this, the way the wall decors are grouped together creates an impact on the overall look of the room. If you just carelessly mix and match frames of all sizes, colors or shapes, it might either look artistic or chaotic. Good for you if it turns out to be the latter. Whichever case, following the rule of balance is the key. You can be as original as you want but make sure your wall hangings draw attention for pleasure and not otherwise.

Lighting is another crucial consideration to keep in mind to really make your arrangement stand out. Direct lighting can draw attention to the picture arrangement and will immediately catch the eye of anyone who enters the room. Be very careful in choosing your lighting for the arrangement. You don't want to choose something that is too bright because it can create a glare which is very distracting. The best type of lighting is subdued and non-glare.

Combining different types of frames and mats can add diversity to the grouping and increase its appeal. Make sure that the frames and mats complement each other or else the arrangement can become distracting. Your local custom frame shop may be able to help you decide on a frame and matting scheme that will work well for you particular picture grouping.

To further play up the wall hangings, complement them with equally attractive floor decors as well in the form of area rugs. Coinciding the shapes make for a better coordinated interior. Therefore, if the frames or artworks on the walls are mostly circular in shape, display an area rug with a round or oblong shape. The colors of area rugs vary, hence matching a rug to suit the color of the walls and the displays won't be hard.

Decorating with wall hangings should not be an expensive task. If you have the means for or the collection of pricey paintings, good! If not, simple things like your own personal items and souvenirs can still make plain walls exciting.
