Leaning Art on the Wall
5 Creative Art Display Ideas
I always think that displaying art is an art in itself. It shows your creative self. Here are five ways to display art which are very differnt yet works well in any decor.
1.Leaning art on the wall
The wall isn’t the only place where you can display art. You can simply place the picture on the floor and lean it on the wall or furniture. Try placing two art pieces of different sizes, one leaning over the other, partially covering the other one but still leaving most of the art visible.
In this case you ca use a large piece of art but make sure that the display doesnot come in the way.
You can even use an empty colorful frame as your second piece instead of art.
2.Placing art on a shelf or gallery ledge
You can mount a gallery ledge on the wall and place pictures across the entire length of it. Randomize the arrangement of pictures by having some of them slightly overlap each other. Use pictures of different sizes and put the smaller sized pictures in front.
Place pictures on the shelf above the fireplace using this idea.
3.Use creative Hanging Rods
Instead of mounting your art directly onto to the wall, use a hanging apparatus to hang your art. Ikea has a good picture rails which can be used for this purpose.
Another way to do is by mounting a horizontal bar against the wall close to the ceiling. Support your picture with 2 ropes. Tie one end of the rope to each corner of the picture and knot the other end around the horizontal bar. You can hang 2 or 3 pictures next to each other this way to make it look like a contemporary art gallery installation. Displaying art this way saves your wall from unsightly holes drilled into them.
4.Keep it all leveled
If you're aligning a series of pictures on the wall, draw an imaginary line across the wall to use as a guide. Use a small leveling gauge to check that the pictures are level once they are hung. If you have bought say three frames which does not have straight frames you can hang one in the middle and other two can be hung from middle down. This will create a unique display.
5.Use Ribbon to suspend art
Use 2 or 3 ribbons with thick widths running down half to three quarters the length of the wall. Attach one or two pictures one above the other to the ribbons and just let it hang. Suspending pictures from ribbons this way adds a unique touch to your home decor. This style can be done in traditional or cottage style.
Use ribbons with complimentary themes, like floral motifs. If you want to display art this way, use pictures that are light in weight so that they can be supported by the ribbons.
