art display 101.

I’ve been thinking a lot about art displays, as I have collected quite a bit of art over the years. I suppose that’s one of the perks of writing an art/design blog, yes?

Regardless, I’m aiming for an entire wall full of framed art in my office like the above wall of paintings, but I so love fun, creative montages as well dispersed throughout any space:

And, of course, artwork that isn’t technically artwork also makes for wicked exciting displays:

Or… photographs galore!:

Plenty of possibilities… ;)

  5. Yeah Yeah Yeah!!! This makes me so excited to decorate my new white walls. The coffee filter one is always good, but I love the white frames around objects. Thinking thinking thinking because of this :).

  8. I think a wall packed with nicely arranged pieces gives a warm, personal feel. I really like the white on white. Monochrome is fun because you can get creative with textures and everything still works.
