Wall Arrangements

Empty Wall Spaces

What is more intimidating than an empty wall?  Nothing confuses clients more than trying to figure out what to put up on their bare, naked walls.  Too personal?  How big/little? Same color frames and mats? Too much thinking and not enough doing. Nothing in your home can be "too personal" unless you are displaying pictures of your first born's actual birth. 

Lets start with the basics.  Think of what you are putting on those walls as displaying your love of life for everyone to see.  It can be the beach vacations, black and white photos of your kids, sky diving over the Grand Canyon.  If you look at those photos everyday and they are telling a story of happiness and joy you can't help but smile when seeing them.  Don't be confined to just photos either because just like bookshelves you need to mix things up.  Add a decorative plate or one of the new "rub on" decals, an architectural piece, starfish....whatever.  


Tell a story- No longer are we hanging that bridal portrait dead center on a 12' wall and calling it done.  But we are starting with the bridal portrait then shots of you and the hubby walking into the sunset, pictures of the honeymoon, first anniversary, new mommy, daddy and baby.  You get the picture!  Add, subtract, change it out as your story grows and you will share the love that you call LIFE. 
Happy Decorating!
