Featured art – Black Gold Contrast, B & W, available here . Whether you’re adding wall art to serve as a focal point in
your room or to enhance its existing décor, paintings and photo prints are an
excellent way to add and improve the atmosphere in your living space.
Choosing the perfect artwork to display is very challenging,
but the real test of your interior decorating skill is how you arrange and
displaying it perfectly in your room. There are many ways to do this but the central
point of the space isn’t always at the literal centre of the room.
There are many ways to display and arrange your new
decorative piece, and it’s not always on the wall. In this post, The Canvas Art
Factory shares five creative ways to feature your new art piece in your home.
Display Your Wall Art on Floating Shelves Picture ledges and floating shelves are a great alternative
way to feature wall art in your home. Apart from creatively displaying art and
adding some texture to the wall, it allows you to feature two or more pieces of
artwork without it looking cluttered.

outline and definition that make them look tighter and closer to one another
instead of appearing strewn about and untidy on the wall. Since your wall art
essentially leans on the wall supported by the ledge, it’s easier to redo your
picture arrangements. This decorating strategy is great for apartments and home
offices where wall space is limited and is easy to get cluttered with too much
detail. Floating shelves and picture ledges are also easy to install,
affordable, and come in a variety of styles to suit your artwork.
Use a Metal Wall Grid Panel Metal wall grids have grown in popularity as a contemporary
décor that boasts an industrial look and feel. They make perfect additions to
kitchens and home offices as they fill up the empty walls without making
everything look cluttered.

to choose from and are multi-function so you can use them for more than just
displaying your new wall art. They can be used to hang your kitchen utensils,
display small decorations, or store your office paraphernalia. You aren’t
limited to displaying your canvas or framed wall art, too. You can simply pin
your unstretched photo or art prints on the mesh grid!
Display Your Art in a Bookcase Do you have an old bookcase that you don’t know what to do
with? Instead of storing it away, use it to feature your new wall art! Like floating
shelves, your wall art will lean on the wall supported by the structure.
Depending on the size of your bookcase, you can solo feature your wall art or
display more than two for each shelf.
Since you’ll be using something that gives the wall some
definition and depth, you can display another decoration with your new wall art
without the risk of clutter. This method is perfect for any room with
restricted wall space and is also an effective way to maximize storage space
for apartment units.
Display on Inside Corner Walls The corner of the room isn’t exactly the first place you’ll
think to display your art, but it’s a good alternative if the room’s existing
focal point is already occupied. The effect on your space is also a bit
different; instead of drawing your vision to the existing focal point of the
room, your attention is drawn to the corner – turning it into the new focal
point.
A selection of artworks create a new focal point – in a place you wouldn’t expect!DesignClaud The great thing about arranging your artwork like this is
that you can display prints of different sizes. You have more creative freedom
to arrange each portrait and photo print how you want so long as you balance
out the artwork on the free wall space.
Asymmetrical Art Arrangement You aren’t limited to displaying your new wall art at the
very centre of the wall. An asymmetrical layout is another option and it gives
your wall art a more dynamic appeal that never gets old to look at.
Keep in mind that there are many ways to arrange your wall art like this, and the asymmetry can be the result of different frame sizes or just by the arrangement. Use the existing décor and the shape of the room as a guide when displaying your art.
