Tips to Choose Modern Wall Art and Floor Mirrors











Choosing a piece of art for your home is an exciting and fun activity. The art that you choose for the walls can be an eclectic blend to reflect your personal taste. Modern wall art consists of prints, photographs, keepsakes and gorgeous floor mirrors.

You can easily create a modern wall art gallery in your living room or bedroom. You can frame your favorite abstracts or photographs. As there are no rules to what you can put in the frame gallery, even keepsakes like ticket stubs and old postcards can be framed to make your picture gallery interesting and personal.

The next step is to select frames for the gallery. For a contemporary look, choose simple frames. Minimalist frames highlight the framed picture without overpowering it. Wooden frames with lacquer finish are perfect for the modern wall art gallery.

Another great idea is to opt for matting. Place a mat in a frame as an additional decoration and to perform several other, more practical functions, such as separating the art from the glass. The mats frame the pictures and give the gallery a professional look. You can choose from fabric or paper mats. Acid-free paper mats are a great choice as they preserve the pictures and photographs.

Step three to creating a wall gallery is to make a mock layout. Trace the silhouettes of your frames on a paper and paste these pieces of paper on the wall. This will help you decide on a layout for the gallery. Put up pictures in odd pairs. An asymmetrical layout makes the gallery more interesting. Leave enough room for additions. The final step is to place frames according to your paper layout and step back and enjoy your modern wall art display. Art need not be only pictures; it can even be beautiful furniture or decorative accents like floor mirrors.

Well-placed floor mirrors can act as a decorative centerpiece in a room and make it look spacious. They visually expand a room, so they make a great decor accessory for small spaces like hallways and entryways.

Choose floor mirrors with simple and elegant frames. A stark white or black frame will complement a modern setting. The beauty of black and white frames is that it blends well with almost any color scheme. Choose artwork and floor mirrors that will accentuate the beautiful decor of your home.
