What are some tips for hanging framed artwork in a group?

When hanging framed artwork in a group, think about balance. Place larger pieces in the center and group smaller pieces around them. For proper spacing, allow 2 to 3 inches between frames. Before you commit to hanging pieces on the wall, get an idea of how they will look by arranging them on the floor. When shopping for art frames, choose acrylic coverings over glass for lighter weight, lower cost and good durability.

What are some unique ideas for wall art that will make my space pop?

To attract attention with wall art, try hanging large-scale paintings in bold colors. Create a large wall panel made from framed wallpaper or decorate the entire wall with a colorful mural. For more unique wall decorations, display collections of hats, clocks, old mirrors, or antique picture frames.

What should I consider when buying wall sconces?

When buying wall sconces, consider size, placement, and the direction of the light. First, the size of your wall sconce should match the scale of your room. For high-traffic areas like hallways, place sconces about 8 feet apart and 65 to 75 inches up the wall or 3/4 the height of the wall for precise placement. If you have high ceilings, choose sconces that point light downward. For lower ceilings, buy sconces that emit light upward. When placing sconces on either side of your bed, choose products with movable arms and dimmers for nighttime reading. For the best lighting in your bathroom, mount wall sconces on both sides of your mirror at eye level and make sure light shines outward instead of up or down.
