Hanging artwork will enhance decor and add pleasure to you surroundings.
Consider having some of your favorite memorabilia framed so that you may enjoy it all the time. Many of the things you have been saving in chests and drawers make interesting displayed items. Use family photos, travel posters, vacation memorabilia, or what ever interests you; it may even be a collection of fine art.

How your artwork is framed and presented makes a difference. Framing just like the artwork is visual and a poor presentation can be worse than none at all. When you are selecting your framing always remember that there are many options. To insure that the presentation will be all you hope tell your framer what you want to accomplish. You should talk about size, color, and design with your custom framer. Know whether you are framing as a decorative accent or preserving a fine painting.

You should know the value of your artworks, both monetarily and sentimentally, is it replaceable or a one of a kind. Discuss the Preservation Standards for framing with your custom framer. Check the condition of the item; items in poor condition will not improve when framed. The framing presentation is not the place to save, as cutting the costs of your framing will compromise either the artworks safety or your enjoyment.

Plan how you want your home to look, consider the décor items of wall colors, rugs, furniture and accessories. If you need help look for a professional with whom you can relate, one that understands your requirements. Many times a professional will save you from making costly mistakes. Remember the key word in working with a professional decorator and or a custom framer is communication. The more you discuss you expectations with them the better chance you have of meeting all your decorating goals.

It is the addition of your special items that completes the personality of your room. It is these things of personal taste the make your house interesting and comfortable.

You can hang all types of artwork together, as long as they do not distract each other. Your appreciation of each piece gives them continuity. A good presentation will enhance them.

Every room should have more than one area of interest. One area will always be the most dominate but it may be balanced with a careful selection of artworks hanging in other areas.

If you have problems with the actual hanging look for competent help. But let the choice of placement be yours.
