The house
program
When it concerns
hanging art prints in your home there are a couple of things you ought to pay
attention to if you want to get the visual balance right using
the best picture rail system.
The typical home
has walls that are about 3 or four metres in width.
If you consider
each wall in your home as a gallery area you will have the ability to maximize
the blended collection of canvases, illustrations, photos, paintings and things
you have on hand.
Size matters
Initially, take a
look at the scale and size of your art. A large canvas will look fantastic on a
wall by itself whereas smaller artworks will make ideal groupings for a gallery
wall.
Your canvases and
paintings that are a metre or more broad can be hung over fireplaces and above
couches to develop visual impact. In fact, the bigger the room the larger you
can opt for a piece of art.
Hallways are the
perfect spot for things like etchings, drawings
and photos that have fine detail. Hang a single line of artworks at eye height
making one of the most of a long, slim hall. That way when people are walking
through they can take in your photos at a
more intimate level.
Using all your space
And if you think
you do not have adequate art work for
your home you are most likely not utilising all the images and things that
surround you.
The number of
pictures do you have on your phone or
computer system? No doubt hundreds. How many of these images have you printed
out over the last few years? Most likely not many or perhaps even none.
I discover it
fascinating that we are all developing so many fantastic digital images of
people, locations and things but we often
stop short of turning them into art prints and hanging them on the walls of our
homes and workplaces.
The potential of digital
There is so much
potential for your images to end up being art
work. The quality of digital images indicates your images can become
much more than just a conventional sized photo. You can make them into big
canvases or have them mounted in box
frames and ceiling hangers for a museum result.
Which's the other
thing that holds us back from turning our photos into art prints. A lot of us aren't comfy dealing with
digital images like correct art.
Which brings us
back to the question what is art? In my opinion, art is something that moves
people. And someone's vacation shots from Venice will definitely be moving
because of the special memories they activate.
