Artwork plays a huge role in decorating a house. The artwork we select fills the bare walls of our home and says a lot about who we are and what we like. Whether we realize it or not, artwork is extremely important and can be displayed in many different ways, especially when you are designing for the whole wall.

Wall art can be in the form of gallery arranged prints and photos hung on the wall, a fantastic DIY headboard or something as utilitarian as a coat rack. Our walls are filled with artwork from our friends or just fun and well designed prints we've found online.

When selecting wall art and deciding on how and where to hang the artwork — just keep proportion, color and space allocation in mind and you'll be well on your way to a successful art filled home!
