How to Decorate Walls With Art

Step 1: Size Matters
Size and color are the two main factors: you don’t want a piece that’s too large and overwhelming or too small to make a statement. To make art the centerpiece of your room, downplay your other elements, such as your window treatments, carpet and furniture.

Step 2: It’s all Black and White
Select three black frames that are the same size and shape, and frame black and white prints in them for a classic wall statement.

Step 3: Off the Wall
Spray-paint various frames the same color. Then find a bold pattern of fabric, and frame swatches of the fabric for a unique, sophisticated, multi-piece masterpiece.

Step 4: Scramble It
Find a mural or large poster you love. Then cut up the mural into pieces and frame a number of them in matching frames, and arrange them in an interesting placement on the wall.
