A few of the pieces were placed elsewhere, and I added in a mirror for variety, but the art wall turned out pretty much the way I'd imagined it. I tried to keep it "organic" so that I can eventually add more pieces to the mix. Also, once the wall has been painted (I'm still thinking about an inky blue), I think it will add more depth to the art and photos.
There was a bit of planning involved to get the arrangement right before hammering multiple holes into the wall. Using brown kraft paper, I cut a piece to the size of the wall and laid the artwork out on the ground until I was happy with the placement. Then I traced around each piece and marked where the hangers would go. I taped the kraft paper back up on the wall and followed the markings. It was easy-peasy!
Hope you had a great weekend!!
I love a good art wall. And Pam - we have the same water colour print of Tower bridge! (It's in the bottom centre of the first shot.)
ReplyDeleteProof positive that we both have excellent taste! Too bad there wasn't space for the print in this area. I'm going to have the pair (I also have Westminster Abbey) reframed and hung in the guest bedroom.
Deletelooking fab! Funny I was just suggesting my friend yesterday to do a gallery wall! Your tips will for sure come in handy Pam!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim :-) For me, this wall was a "must" because half of the new condo is floor to ceiling windows. This leaves just a few precious walls for art display.
