Art Collecting Tip #2 - Rotating & Displaying Art

You can learn fresh, innovative ways to display your art collections! Art isn’t meant to simply be hung on the wall. There are a few guidelines to create a seamless, attractive display that I will mention here are well.

Here are some fun, eye-catching, jaw dropping ways to display your coveted collection!

1. Create a group of art/photos on the wall to create an interesting focal point and eclectic feel. Plan the way you want to hang them by doing placement on the floor, and then map out where they will go. Having prints, originals, or sculpture together in a group looks beautiful and complex.

2. Use an easel to display paintings. This adds interest and dimension as well as provides for ease of change. And no need for tools! (unless you intend to BUILD an easel.)

3. Set art on the floor. (With the right structure, sturdy paintings as well as framed prints can be displayed separately or in clusters under tables, against walls, or in corners. It adds depth and energy to the area. Be sure you don’t do this with LARGE pieces, or they may warp.

4. Display art inside glass door cabinets or standing on shelves along with other artifacts, such as books or collectables. It’s modern and exciting!

5. Rotate your art collection! Another great refreshing splash to any room is to switch out artwork for other ones. Display a new set of works each week, month, season, or special occasion. It’s nice to have a huge art collection to be able to do this. Rotating your art collection freshens up a room and makes everything feel new. People will ask if you renovated your living room!

  1. We’re constantly rotating our art because we have very little wall space. I have on occasion, left art sitting on the floor, but to my detriment. While I love my fuzzy little cats, they can be obliviously destructive.

    Love my kitties. Love my kitties. Love my kitties.

    argh…
