Tips for Hanging Pictures, Artwork and Wall Art
Comments (0)Most wall art looks best when hung at eye level or slightly lower than eye level. Keep in mind how the art will be viewed most often (from a standing or sitting position). Also, consider where the picture is being hung. For children's rooms, hang kids art at the eye level of the child. When hanging art above furniture, have twice as much space above the art than below it. A general guideline to follow for framed artwork is 4 to 8 inches from the surface of the furniture to the bottom of the frame. For framed art prints, a good rule of thumb is to center the frame 60 inches off the floor. To do this, measure the height of the frame and divide by two. Then measure the space from the wire to the top of the frame and subtract this number from the first number. Now add 60 inches to this figure. This is the point to insert the hook. When your picture hangs from the hook it should hang approximately one-third from the top of the frame....See MorePeacock Teal dining
Comments (31)Dear Crazyjunglite, please let me add some ideas for your space. I beleive that a nice combination of two curtains like the one with the blue and peach double curtains in the picture, will give you an eclectic feeling that matches to your painting. The combination of colors that I suggest is this blue with brown flares and the cream-peach taffetas, and the soft cream sheer behind. It will join all the rest beautiful items suggested by now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/163787105/blue-curtain-polyester-fabric-122-inches?ref=shop_home_active https://www.etsy.com/listing/163785041/light-yellow-beige-curtain-polyester?ref=related-6 https://www.etsy.com/listing/167660815/35-discount-for-one-pair-of-two-beige?ref=listing-shop-header-1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/167363693/ecru-sheer-curtains-fabric-118-inches?ref=shop_home_active...See MoreLiving Room Suggestion
Comments (6)Hi Nisha, Like the way you have chosen a neutral colour palette keeping in mind the size of your Living room. Would like to share a simple home styling tip: Always slip your carpet below the 2 front legs of the furniture around it. This helps to pull the room together. Your wall can be treated in multiple ways: It's a nice idea of having a floating shelf. This can also be combined with a collage of frames, small wall art, Some Letters, Arrows, etc. around it to fill the wall as seen below: Regarding the painting idea: Choose the subject as an abstract/geometrical, since this would match the style of your living room. And always hang the painting with its base at just 6-8" from the sofa backrest. (keeping them at an eye level). A) You can opt for a huge landscape framed painting, that would cover the wall. OR B) Have 2 similar vertical frames, hung side by side. Can also add a focus light above to highlight these paintings. You can highlight it with a wallpaper / textured paint finish (only if it is continuous wall) in the family of neutral shades and geometric patterns. Also can have a huge wall art or a figurine hung on the wall. These are easily available online. Colour Ur Blank Spaces is an online interior design service.

5 years agoThank you everyone! I shall hang it:). BeverlyFLADezigner I would REALLY appreciate your feedback about my awnings. Real dilemma to replace with similar colour (we do like the look and less sun/heat) or get arid of them.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoOK so here is your home if we take down the shutters and the awnings. Landscaping must be addressed to show the brick ranch off to its best.
There are lots of ways to address the sun both inside and out.Solar shades can be mounted inside the house. They cut the sun and the glare but still allow you to view the outside.
Of course 2" blinds are like having awnings on the inside of your home. They can be angled to direct the sun
The blinds can be selected in a wood finish or in a white finish depending on what the inside of your home requires.
Of course cellular shades that travel both up and down can block the sun.
Next I'll address your awning options.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoI believe the current canvas awnings are making it really dark in your home which is not a good look. You make want to consider a wood slat window trellis, with or without vines to minimize any sun issues. The bracket can be angled or straight

Window trellis can be decorated with flowering vines or not.

5 years agoIf you want to do canvas awnings there is no reason the awnings have to have a pitch of 45 degrees with sides on them like you see in the image below
They can be less pitched and without sides like these images below.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoNice home. Please don't paint the brick.
Consider removing the shutters (not a great fit).
A dark bold burgundy or a bold black would work for your exterior doors.
Budget permitting, do consider removing the awnings, then add a shed roofed front porch -- about 6' deep -- across most or all of the front of your house to shade your windows.
You could use hip corners for the shed roof of your porch at each end and add a forward facing gable only over the actual entry. Then add a sidewalk from your new entrance toward your driveway as you plan your landscaping.
Agree with others: hang the art as show in the pic posted by
Well done BeferlyFLADeziner.
Like your candle holders.
After you hang your art, try leaving the mantel empty. Try putting the items you had on the mantel on the shelves and/or built-ins instead. Move them about and, ultimately, follow your own taste on what looks best where.

5 years agoThank you. Picture is hung and I had actually left the mantle clear and moved items on shelves! Lol. I think it looks less cluttered.
I am going to call tomorrow and get some quotes for landscaping the front yard. It needs some colour and texture! We will remove the awnings and shutters and see how we like the look. We can always put them back. Thanks again everyone. I love this site and find it so helpful!
