New creative guide to hanging your art
My alternative artwork hanging guide
Let's get creative!
It has occurred to me that there are some unspoken rules about how we are supposed to hang our paintings and artworks. Traditional thinking is to centre the painting on the wall above the sofa/bed/cupboard/chair. Why not think differently?
Just for fun, I’ve illustrated my new ideas on the art of picture hanging:
1. Hang your art centered, above the sofa...
...or next to the sofa!
...who needs the sofa anyway?
2. Hang your paintings on the wall...
...stand them on a floor / shelf / sideboard
3. Position the artwork centered on the wall...
...hang it anywhere it looks good on the wall.
...or you could fill the whole wall!
4. Modern art = contemporary frames...
....or why not mix it up? Traditional and modern.

Choosing Abstract Wall Art For Your Kitchen
Most people have considered and bought art for their homes; usually for hanging in their living areas - lounge, dining room, study, bedroom and hallways.
But areas that are often overlooked for original abstract art or art prints are the utility areas like a kitchen or bathroom. We spend a fair amount of time in these home spaces, so they deserve as much attention from a decor perspective as the rest of the house.

Abstract Art for the Home
Coming home to a carefully chosen piece of abstract art is like walking into a 'welcome home' fanfare every time you come in from work or trips from far flung places.
HELLO! welcome back. I'm your art for your home. Nice isn't it!
