Adding artwork to your room can bring it life or put the finishing touches on your design. Infuse your room with pieces you love.

Any time you spot good design, good art is almost always present. “Good” art doesn’t necessarily mean valuable or expensive – it can be a framed postcard, a family photograph, or even a child’s painting. What’s important is that YOU enjoy looking at it and that it complements the design and proportions of the room.

Gallery walls are showing up more and more in design, both residential and commercial. They allow you the opportunity to cultivate a personal collection and the display it as whole for greater visual affect and interest.

Sometimes oversized paintings can make a very strong impact, perfect for public areas or larger rooms.

Here’s an example of a clever use of stationery with a generous mat to make a much stronger impact than it’s size and stretch decorating dollars.

If you’re looking for some unique and affordable work to create your own gallery wall, check out Etsy for a myriad of great options, both original work and prints from independent artists.
