Add Your Personal Touch with Framed Wall Art

Framed wall art is one of our favorite subjects to talk about. Does this sound familiar?

You buy that special piece...maybe it's a picture, a cross, a sconce, or perhaps a mirror. You have a hunch it's going to look just right in that space on your wall that you've had such a hard time filling.

You get it home...you put it on the wall...and it is PERFECT!!!

That doesn't happen all the time with wall decor. There are some horror stories out there. But, when it does happen, it's magic...plain and simple.

Jen and I were selling our old house and there was this empty space above the mantle. What would be just right there? Wrought iron? Something black and white? Some professional wall art?

We had the color scheme...our favorite browns, a dark red, a bit of of gold...we knew the size...then we saw it at The Wall Art Store

The frame was the perfect thickness...the colors were just right and the size looked like it would fit pefectly above the mantle. Sometimes you just have to go for it.

Framed Wall Art Ideas

Arranging your framed wall art can certainly be a challenge. Here are some tried and true tips to help you.

• Match the size of the art to the room. Don't overpower your living room with one sensational piece.

• Integrate your framed wall art with your decor. For example, hang a picture with urns of different colors, then accent it with urns on the floor or nearby tables.

• Complement the room colors. A bold and vibrant piece of art in a monochromatic living room may stand out too much.

Once you've gotten your hands around arranging framed wall art, consider some new pieces. First, think about working with black and white framed art. There are so many great options that work across so many different design styles. You can work these pieces in with many different living room color schemes. Keep in mind that just because the art is black and white doesn't mean the frame has to be!

Christian Framed Art is another category we recommend you consider. If you're not a Christian, this could be problematic, but think about some elegant and timeless ways to express your faith, even if its just as simple as a basic cross with a frame.

For color choices and versatility across design styles, wrought iron wall art works well. Be it contemporary, rustic, traditional or french country, there are probably wrought iron pieces that will work well in your living room.

Another choice is Professional Wall Art. These would be hand painted or created pieces of framed art, tapestries, posters, or photographs from emerging artists. If creating great style on a budget is your main concern, consider Discount Wall Art. There are so many great options - proof that great art can be frugal.

Two final options are decorative wall mirrors and Living Room Wall Clocks. Pick your design style because there are so many finish materials to choose from. Mirrors are great for adding dimension to your living room. For a mantle, wall clocks guarantee elegance and provide a classic statement.

Have fun and be creative using framed wall art. Now off you go!
