HOW TO ART

Present your pictures With Michelle Allott of Black Cab Studio Picture Framing

The choice of art work and the best way of displaying it is an important factor in the design of your home. Both the smallest and largest of walls and rooms can be enhanced by the addition of photos, art and special pieces. Here are a few ideas and tips but really the most important thing is that you like the art you have chosen and from then on the only challenge is how to show it off to its best. Hanging pictures with a theme together adds impact and style. Large walls can take collections of art like this wall of print maker John McGowan. It is classic and will never date.

Displaying frames and pictures on shelves and ledges is a great way of not having to hang pictures and gives the option to move work around with great ease. The frames don’t need to be the same. Staggering and overlapping gives an informal and interesting look. 20

An alternative to art on the walls is a display of mirrors. Mirrors add light and shimmer to your walls and can bring elegance and personality to even the smallest of spaces. You can create a mirror to match any room by choosing a frame and syle to suit from shabby chic to classic elegance.
