Perfectly displayed artwork is the final finishing touch for any discerning interior scheme. Whether you have a penchant for modern or fine art, or you want to display your own artistic shots there are many factors to consider before taking the plunge and hanging the pieces in your home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From lighting to placement, sizing to\u00a0custom framing<\/a>, the display options for your favorite artworks are endless and the process requires careful thought as the result can make or break a room. If the thought of hanging a gallery wall makes you break into a cold sweat or you\u2019re getting a migraine from finding the ideal lighting to make each piece pop, then don\u2019t panic, we have asked the experts their top tips on displaying artwork in the home.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> One read of their advice will make sure that every\u00a0original artwork<\/a>, be it your latest holiday print or your newest gallery discovery, is a breeze to showcase\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \u2022 Always apply the same design principles to displaying artwork as the rest of the space. \u00a0<\/p> Always consider colour and size. We tend to opt for white frames as they don\u2019t distract from the art and instead enhance the colours. If you have a small piece of art, don\u2019t be afraid of using a larger frame leaving more white space around the image. It can draw the eye and create a really interesting focal point to a room.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/p> 1. If you have bought a new piece of art, sit the piece in the room you\u2019ve chosen for it for a few days before deciding to hang it. See how the light sits with the piece. Daylight, mood lighting, evening shade \u2013 all can really make a piece of art shine in a room. But don\u2019t rush to hang it, see how light reacts to your artwork at different times of the day and then you\u2019ll find the best place for it in your room.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> 2. If you have a few (or more) pieces of great artwork for a room, don\u2019t be afraid to make a feature gallery wall! Show off all this beautiful artwork you have! On creating a \u2018gallery wall\u2019 in your home it makes a real statement about your own style and also provides a great talking point for your guests to when they visit!<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Apart from always making sure you choose art you love, and complementing it with an appropriate frame, try to display pieces in your eyeline so you can appreciate them \u2013 don\u2019t feel you need to place art behind your seating where you can\u2019t admire it, just because there\u2019s a blank wall. Importantly, keep all art out of direct sunlight to ensure longevity so you can admire it for years to come, without prints fading like photos in a barbers window.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/p> Artwork can add so much character and personality to a space, so I quite often find inspiration for a room\u2019s design here. By picking up the subtle tones and textures in a piece of art and drawing on these for inspiration to use in the soft furnishings, upholstery and accessories, you can create a really subtle and sophisticated, cohesive design. Good design shouldn\u2019t be about making elements match, but compliment each other, and by doing this, your artwork \u00a0will sing in it\u2019s surroundings.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t \u00a0<\/p> Choosing the right artwork for an empty wall is a great deal, it would add character to the room. My number one tip is choose the right size. A big artwork would have great impact. Otherwise you can arrange a wall composition with artworks in different sizes. Have special care for frames: they can add different flavours and complete artworks.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tJenny Gibbs, KLC School of Design<\/h2>
\u2022 A successful display of art is all about scale, balance and composition but also about style and mood.
\u2022 Group small pictures together but go for larger scale artwork in a busy space to create a sense of balance.
\u2022 Create a mock up on the floor or wall with paper cut to the size of the pictures you are planning to hang which will give you the chance to get the arrangement right and avoid any disasters<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tDavid & Mark, Forward Features<\/h2>
