Home Decor: 9 Ways to Refresh Your Home with Art
|
We all want to refresh ourselves somehow, to change something. You'll probably agree that the best place to start is the environment where we spend the most time - our home. We can assure you that nothing refreshes a home quite like a new work of art, and after reading this article you'll discover that art can not only decorate your home, but be useful too! 1. If you don't have a headboard, that's no problem. An abstract piece in calm tones or a large landscape photograph hung above the bed will become a new focal point, and the room will look more complete.
2. Want to hide a wall-mounted TV? We suggest covering it with a painting (a diptych works especially well) or a framed print. When the TV is off, it's much nicer to look at a painting.
3. Want a small refresh without spending a lot? You can easily update old shelves by lining them with wallpaper you like or high-quality gift wrapping paper.
4. For those who have plenty of family or vacation photos and high ceilings, we suggest trying an art installation like this one! All you'll need is clear fishing line and small wooden clothespins.

5. You'll never regret replacing an old medicine cabinet door with a painting. All you need to do is frame your favorite photo or print and attach it to the hinges.
6. A painting hung on hinges can also become a great hiding spot:
7. Is a jungle of cords growing behind your sofa or desk? Turn it into an art installation. Order and art in one.
8. Here's an example of how a large painting can become a screen or even a door dividing spaces. If a painting of that size turns out to be too expensive, you can apply a large print or photo wallpaper to sliding closet or room doors.
9. Whatever you do, don't forget the kitchen. If you spend a lot of time in this room, it needs to feel good. The simplest way to refresh your kitchen is to hang a print of your favorite painting in the most visible spot and protect it from steam and moisture with acrylic glass.
