Create the perfect art wall


art wall by gretchen gretchen
Big red apples. They used to be at my grandparents house. It's a great memory.


Light! We have light. You can see the dust - maybe I should clean up - and in that light you notice that it's time to do something about your empty walls. 

Sometimes it takes time to hung up your art pieces, paintings, photos in frames, posters, jewellery etc. on the wall. But if they are in the boxes, cabinet or where ever, you can't see them. 

We painted our bedroom's walls straight away when we moved in. But walls have been empty for 3 years. It changed now. I'm totally happy when I'm looking at those beautiful things on the bedroom's wall. Now room has a special atmosphere. A lot nicer than it was before. Art wall is one kind of altar, I guess. I made collection of things which are important to me and of course beautiful. They remind me people around me, time, journeys we have made and gives inspiration. I used photos, paintings, pics, jewellery and old wall decorations. I'm also a little bit collector, I love to go flea markets, auctions, antique shops - I do have things to put on the wall.

You should create one if you don't already have one. Go and see what I have collected for you in Pinterest just for inspiration. And here you can see easy way to plan the wall. You need only tape and paper. I skipped that and I just build the composition on our bed. My art wall isn't ready yet. It will grow with more precious pics and things. Its part of our life. 

What kind of art wall you have?
