oversized frames instead of a cluster
of smaller ones. A large black-and-
white portrait, an abstract art print or a
landscape photo can serve as a stunning
focal point in a living room.
For a sophisticated and timeless
look, consider stretching rolled canvas
paintings or prints to transform them
into stunning artworks for the living
room. Canvas stretching enhances
the piece by providing structure and a
gallery-style finish, making it a perfect
focal point. Whether it’s a bold abstract,
a serene landscape or a vintage
masterpiece, stretched canvas artwork
adds depth and elegance to a space.
Hanging wall art in the bedroom
can transform the space, but it’s
essential to do it thoughtfully. A vertical
arrangement can make a room appear
more expansive. A simple way to do this
is to frame three prints of the same size
and colour palette and create a triptych
along one long wall.
It’s essential to ensure that the space
has just the right amount of art, not too
much or too little. When in doubt, put up
less art rather than more, unless you’re a
true-blue maximalist – if so, go wild!
Remember that you sometimes need
to adjust the art based on the height
of the furniture, so don’t be afraid of
hanging it high if it feels right.
