Love it. But you need the right art.

Fortunately, you have the right art. And the right books, and the right sofa, and the right pillows, and the right coffee table........ Cool room!

Meg, thanks for sharing your beautiful living room. Now we just need a whole tour, it's delightful and so is your photography!

Good idea but I'd be worried about the art curling, something which happens in my house, especially in the warmer months

Lovely room - would work great in kids room for their art works too. Just wondering if you do anything to stop the pages curling, or is there anything you would suggest?

This is great!

LOVE it! What are your go-to places for great art like you've shown?

Super. Oh, and please send me your coffee table! <grin>

This looks great, but aren't all displays visual displays?

Great idea! I'd be worried about curling, too-- especially in an apartment with extreme temps. Where did the Svenska print come from?

@Slowdown- HAHA love it ;)

i have a huge blank empty living room wall and ive been trying to figure out what to do with it. given that this is low budget (like me) and looks great, i may just have to try it...thanks!

I like it! It would be fun to move the prints around, from hanger to hanger, depending on your mood.

To prevent curling, prints and posters can be laminated. Many full service copy stores offer laminating for just a few bucks. Not a good idea for valuable prints, but presumably you wouldn't display those using a hanger.

I Love the yellow mirror tray- cool.

I am going to try this in my kids room- like hnhkt suggested.

Good for displays that change often.

I use trouser hangers to display two larger prints in my living room, and I use a second hanger on the bottom. It prevents curling and annoying swaying when someone walks by or when the windows are open. My two prints are focal points on two separate walls, so I imagine a second hanger on smaller prints displayed together might look a bit busy/cluttered. It's good for bigger prints.

I NEED to know where those huge, comfy-looking pale gray pictures on the couch can be purchased.

Thanks!

i don't get step 3.. why do you need shelves and wall brackets? someone please help me out.

any idea where the RUG came from?!!

oooh is that thom yorke on the wall? <3

I love this idea, especially because you could change out the artwork easily. This is also a great way to display children's artwork. Parents often struggle as to the how and where of to put kid's masterpieces. This idea could easily be used in a hallway or even a child's bedroom. Thanks!

I love the idea of a shelf behind the couch, in addition to re-purposing wooden pants hangers for artwork. I'm going to have to give both a try!

LOVE this.

This is a great idea, I fear though that I lack the construction skills to put up the shelving.

becca

I just got rid of a bunch of those hangers. If I had only seen this a few weeks ago! : ) What a great idea for all of my kids art work they bring home from school!

you can stop the curling by attaching a small binder clip to each of the bottom corners. They keep the poster hanging flat and are unobtrusive enough that most people don't notice them.

beautiful.

We're putting a shelf behind the couch this weekend! I also love the use of the hangers, but unfortunately don't have an awesome collection of prints like you do. Oh, and I love the yellow tray. Bravo!

I actually use binder clips on the top and bottom, but I hate that they can leave clip marks. I LOVE this idea as an alternative!

How do you keep the hangers straight on the wall. I am trying this now and the hanger keeps shifting to the right. I tried hanging this using a pushpin, a nail, and a nail with a picture hanger on it. What should I do?

This is why I love Apartment Therapy. Young affordable and creative design. You guys used the resources within your subculture to create a fun, clean and colorful home.

These big "MTV Cribs" homes are boring and no different than what we see on HGTV.

This design works because it requires more than a big budget. It requires innovation and thought!

I keep stumbling upon this post. It is a great idea.

Cool ! But do you know Dezzig? Inspired by pant hanger, Dezzig (a french cie) created Poster-pant to show its own screenprinted posters !
A brilliant device that allows poster-rich-but-frame-poor collectors to hang and display their posters proudly and safely.

This fine wood poster hanger attaches to the top and bottom of your artwork. See here : http://www.dezzig.com/artshop
