Planning an art wall

I am always on the look out for new art either for my Limited Edition Art business or for my own personal pleasure, but especially now as I am planning an art wall in my home. I intend to use a salon style layout to hang as much of my favourite art as I can on one wall. It is going to be an overwhelming sight (I hope) and certainly a talking point. But most of all I want to try and create a display that is both a visual jumble and highly organised in order to highlight synchronicity and discord across a range of styles, genres and types of artist. Wish me luck! I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Because my budget doesn't stretch to a wall of originals, I will also use Limited Edition Prints. There are lots of ways to professionally hang a large number of artworks in a relatively small space from the quite random Salon Style that I am planning through Mosaic Hangs which have slightly more order, to the completely symmetrical displays such as the Series Layout. Check out this article the "Art of Hanging Art" for information on these types of display as well as tips and tricks to ensure your art is hung in the most flattering way, even if you are only hanging a single painting.

Here are the latest works to go on my shortlist for my art wall:

Christine Comyn - Snapshot



Joseph Augustine Grassia - In view of 1
