Creating an Art Wall

Inspired by Brittni's blog post on Paper n' Stitch (♥), I thought it would be lovely to share a bit from her article on creating an Art Wall for your home:

The Art Wall

I have always subscribed to the theory that artwork can turn an average home into an amazing home. It gives your walls personality; almost like a nice necklace or a great pair of earrings.

Of course, I understand that most of us aren’t going out and buying thousands of dollars worth of original artwork every weekend. But you don’t need a big budget. After all, purchasing prints from some of your favorite artists, is a wonderful way to start off a collection of work. And with prices often starting as low as $20, you can afford to buy more than one at a time..

So, what do you do with all these prints once you have them sitting in your spare bedroom collecting dust? Well, frame them up and cluster them together to create an art wall. An art wall is the perfect way to showcase small to medium size works. Filling a large visual space. It’s a lot easier than a looks.
