If you\u2019re hanging wall art in the kitchen or bathroom, be careful. If you\u2019re not using the correct materials or hang your art in the wrong place, it could get damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, we have a solution! If you\u2019re hanging wall art made of canvas, simply hang them away from the stove, sink or anywhere you might accidentally splash them with food or water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re a really messy cook or have a small kitchen, opt for our mess-proof metal prints<\/a> or acrylic wall art<\/a> prints! Both styles are waterproof and are highly durable. They can withstand steam and heat and the prints won\u2019t fade, even after decades outside in bright sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try vibrant food prints<\/a> or culture wall art prints in the kitchen and calming landscapes<\/a> or animal photos for the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re having trouble choosing your wall art, don’t stress; it\u2019s simple! Just select styles you like and match your wall art to your d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Got a minimalistic colour scheme? Good news; practically any colour or style will work in your room! Still don\u2019t know where to start? Try these tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Browse our beautiful abstract art styles here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you\u2019ve got your wall art and you\u2019re ready to go! But before you start wildly hammering nails in the walls, it pays to plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The great thing about our wall <\/a>displays is that our template allows you to see what your images look like in a variety of configurations before you even start your order!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, instead of hanging wall art in all the wrong places and getting confused about which sizes you might need, you can order your wall display ready to hang on your walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, if you\u2019d prefer to do it yourself, make sure you layout your wall display on the floor first to see what it will look like. Try cutting pieces of paper in a contrasting colour to your walls in the size and shape of your chosen art and post them on the walls in your chosen configuration to see how it will look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When hanging wall art, structured, symmetrical displays often create a more modern look, while salon-style arrangements typically have more of a vintage look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t want to use one of our wall display templates<\/a> or would simply prefer to create your own, there are several ways to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When displaying wall art, try a grid display using several of the same-sized images, such as several small square-shaped canvases in a 3×3 or 4×4 configuration. Use wrapped canvas prints for these displays or use floating frames<\/a> to tie your display together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, you could build a salon-style wall display with a variety of different wall art types, such as floating frame prints<\/a> and wrapped single canvas prints<\/a> in a range of sizes and shapes. To achieve a balanced look, start with larger pieces in the middle as a focal point and then work your way outwards with smaller artworks. Use an odd number of artworks like 5, or 7, to create organised chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a general rule, leave 2-5 inches between your frames. The display shouldn\u2019t overwhelm the size of the room or your furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, if you have a huge display with plenty of different styles and colours, keep furniture simple so your room doesn\u2019t look to cluttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unsure where you should be hanging wall art? Wall art should hang in clear spaces but you also don\u2019t want it to get in your way or look cluttered in your spaces, especially if you\u2019re living in a smaller apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As much as we\u2019d all like to purchase supersized artworks, hanging wall art that is too big in a small space can be overwhelming. Yes, it\u2019s fun to make a statement. But a massive artwork in a small apartment can verge on the ridiculous, if not done well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, try a grid display (see #4) or try one of our wall displays<\/a> for a structured, easy-to-hang collection of wall art. Use the same coloured floating frames to tie your wall display together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just one larger conversation piece near the dining room can inspire creative conversations, while a smaller piece or two in the kitchen or bathroom can add interest to bland spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re short on wall space, go vertical! Instead of hanging wall art, use floating shelving. Layer a series of wrapped canvas pieces, framed artworks, and other objects on shelves to create a cohesive display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try our affordable photo blocks; these also make great gifts. If you\u2019re short on space your frames can even be overlapping to create an interesting look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All our wall art comes with hooks, ready-to-hang, so when hanging wall art all you need to do is decide where to hang it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more inspiration for displaying and hanging wall art check out our styling blogs here<\/a> or if you\u2019re ready to begin, start searching for wall art right away here!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hanging wall art in the home is a great way to express yourself.
