Pictures and photographs are very important elements in interior design, not only adding colour and texture but also changing our perception of space. That’s not all – what you hang on your wall is also a reflection of yourself.
We humans have been hanging pictures on the wall for many centuries. Sometimes its done to boast wealth, sometimes to boast good (or bad) taste! For the most part these days, however, it’s done to improve our quality of life and create a lovely home.
Hanging Pictures on Wall
Picture hanging systems for the home have improved dramatically over the decades. These days humble homeowners can even buy the same systems used by the world’s most famous art galleries.
Picture hanging systems are restricted to hanging just art either. You could hang family photographs, rugs, tapestries, mirrors, memorabilia – pretty much anything goes. You can choose items which not only add visual interest but also serve a purpose. For example, in a room with poor acoustics, hanging a colourful Indian or African rug on the wall will add both texture and sound-proofing, not to mention insulation.
Hanging an antique mirror on the wall can make a room appear larger. This method is also used in small courtyard gardens to give the illusion of more space.
Picture Hanging Systems for the Home
Whatever you decide to hang on your walls, it reflects your personality and memories. By personalising a room in this way, you are also creating your own personal space, which also gives a sense of security.
There are plenty of TV renovation shows, magazines and social media posts to give you inspiration if you need it, or just go with the flow and see how it turns out. The beauty of using picture hanging systems for the home is that it’s so easy to change your mind and rearrange items.
Here are some great tips to help you make more of your space:
•In small spaces keep furniture and fittings to a minimum to avoid a cluttered look
•To lengthen a small room try hanging rectangular paintings or photographs featuring the beach, ocean or mountains
•In rooms with low ceilings,hang vertical pictures to draw the eye upwards
•In a narrow room, hang a large picture on one wall and a large mirror on the opposite wall
All these ideas will help you improve the appearance and living quality of your home.
