\"ArrangingExpress your creativity, and add sophistication to your wall \u2013 mix framed oil paintings<\/a> in creative ways. Like fine ingredients in a fabulous meal, individual works of art can be combined to produce tantalizing wall d\u00e9cor arrangements.<\/p>\n

The following is a list of ten well established practices for assembling great displays that turn your ordinary wall into something special…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Balance<\/strong><\/u> \u2013 No matter what desired effect you wish your art to convey, successful art displays all have one thing in common: a cohesive balance of order, color and scale.<\/li>\n
  2. Offset large art with small<\/strong>. Grouping small works of art together with a single large art piece brings to life the arrangement.<\/li>\n
  3. Pay attention to the spacing between objects<\/strong>. The spacing should be even among all the pieces. Leave a bigger gap between oil paintings<\/a> to let each piece be appreciated on its own. For a collage, the unity of the works is key, group the paintings closer together.<\/li>\n
  4. Experiment with balance<\/strong>. Play around with different combinations of small and large works of art. As long as it\u2019s symmetrical and well aligned you can just go with what you like best.<\/li>\n
  5. Unity<\/strong><\/u> \u2013\u00a0A display can be made up of very different elements; an arrangement can still work as long as there\u2019s a unifying thread, an idea that relates the works to each other.<\/li>\n
  6. Choose a subject, theme or color<\/strong>. Subjects such as Nature or Travel are highly popular these days. It can be any theme as long as it links the paintings to each other. I like to create groupings by artists, group four Van Gogh paintings<\/a> or three Mark Rothko\u00a0art reproductions<\/a>\u00a0together transcends the power of their art and brings to life their unique styles and techniques.<\/li>\n
  7. Use matching frames<\/strong>. Matching frames are a must in linking the different art pieces together in a smooth, cohesive way.<\/li>\n
  8. Impact<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 Balance and unity are always important, but for a display to truly knock them off their feet, it needs to have an impact. Experiment with the arrangement, and look for ways to create drama in your display.<\/li>\n
  9. Odd numbers of framed oil paintings<\/strong> create the most pleasing effect. Start off by placing the central piece at eye level or slightly above on the wall, and then expand your display outward from there.<\/li>\n
  10. Use wall ledges<\/strong>. Ledges provide a blank canvas where you can layer the artwork so that one frame slightly overlaps the other. This technique puts the focus on the display as a whole, rather than on any individual work of art.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These ten tips are just a few guidelines that you should keep in mind in preparation on your next decorating endeavor. Hope these tips help you out to create fabulous wall arrangements that will bring light and beauty into your homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
