Decorating Ideas For Art Display – Want to fill those empty walls in your home, but don’t know where to start? It can be as simple as assessing what you already have and reimagining the possibilities! Here are 5 wall decor ideas!
I first saw this fascinating (and amazing!) wall decor exhibit at the 2017 DC Design House in Potomac, MD. Marika Meyer Interiors designed 12 Hermès scarves for a bright and colorful feature wall. I love the element of surprise in framing textiles instead of a photograph or print. Different colors and unique designs on scarves with uniformity of white, elegant frame and grid arrangement. Want to recreate this look on a budget? Use scarves (or even cloth napkins) that you’ve picked up on your own travels. Want to add to your set? Check out a local vintage store for more great finds. Remember that framing like this adds uniformity to the overall look. (Click here for tons more interior design inspiration from the 2017 DC Design House!)

Want baskets just for your tabletops? Think again! When a beautifully woven basket is displayed as a wall decoration, woven textures and stunning patterns take center stage. Plus, their natural and earthy vibe makes woven baskets the perfect complement to almost any other artwork hanging in the same room. The best part? A stunning basket display is one of the most affordable ways to add visual interest to your walls. This vintage set was purchased from an Etsy seller for $50!!
Ways To Display Artwork In Your Home
Do you have a handmade blanket, a stunning wall hanging, or an unusual quilt? Then you have wall decor! Perfect for large areas, these items offer high visual impact without breaking your budget. For this couple, I wanted to bring a pop of color to the corner of their family room. Additionally, the goal is to break the horizontal sight line of a very tall wall. Folding this hand-woven blanket (purchased while they were traveling) to create a vertical line is the perfect finishing touch to this open concept first floor wall.

Pairing a few pieces of your children’s art with your family photos will give the room a fun and eclectic vibe.
You hang your child’s art instead of purchased prints and posters. It is beautiful, fun and easy.
Another way to keep things simple and easy. Even better when placed on a string and at your child’s height so they can stop their work on their own. It’s as easy as tying some lengths of jute twine to the nails and attaching some small clothespins.
It takes a little more time, but shows a lot of pictures in a wonderful collage. Some of the artwork is textured, then printed and framed as a collage. Makes a cute gift for grandparents too!
How To Display A Collection
By choosing a single frame you can create an art gallery that looks much larger. And fits beautifully in your living room!
Hang string lights, then make a little art work with mini clothespins. You can also take your children’s art and then hang them. This way it looks more ‘clean’. This is a great idea for a tween or teen room too! A little magic is included.
An easy mounting and framing solution is washi tape. Washi tape is made from rice paper. You can use and reuse without damaging your walls. And it comes in beautiful colors and patterns. Try different approaches when placing art work, because the possibilities are endless! If you purchase something through the links on Craft Professional, I may earn a referral fee.
