Arranging artwork is a great way to accessorize your home. You get to create a focal point, a striking opportunity to add some color and by far one of the best ways to really personalize your space. Here are a few different styles to hang your artwork or favorite family photos. Floor To Ceiling Grid The Floor to Ceiling Grid gallery wall is a clean, sophisticated way to show off your artwork or photos. Offered in modern white or champagne silver, this impressive gallery is soft in color and dramatic in size. Important: You need to have tall walls to make this arrangement work! It requires 105" of vertical space, which (with a few inches above and below) is about nine feet. Be sure to factor in any floor and crown moulding when you measure.  Propped Pictures This is a favourite with interior stylists as it gives a really lovely relaxed vibe. Again I like the impermanence of it so you can have fun switching it around later down the road. The key here is to prop pictures of different heights and and I think it works better if they are sightly layered and overlapped. Create A Focal Point A large-scale piece of wall art or a mirror is a great way to create a focal point within a room scheme. I like to maximise the impact with a little symmetry so a pair of stunning lamps either side for example really enhances the statement. The Uneven Grid If you're a perfectionist, you'll love the clean design of The Uneven Grid gallery wall. This is one of our favorite ways to hang a collection of art, where you gather together all your pictures and group them in one pleasing display. It makes a really strong focal point in a room which can help make a scheme look really together. One thing we really love about a gallery wall is the way it all can grow organically over time. You can switch pictures around and add and subtract. The Stack Whether it's next to a window, door, or major furniture piece, this tall, thin column gallery wall will fit in every skinny corner of your house. The Stack is a great way to create the small space gallery wall you never knew you needed.   Finally here are my five top tips to displaying art: Artwork looks great when it is grouped together either as a gallery wall or symmetrically in a grid or row. Avoid hanging your artwork too high. It looks better when it is hung close above a piece of furniture. Try and link your pictures together in some way- either by having a similar colour story throughout or similar frames Enjoy collecting artwork over time. This way you can add and subtract pieces, helping to keep your home feeling fresh and individual. Consider painting the wall behind the art wall a shade deeper than you dare. Painting look great against this contrast.

Your master bedroom should be your refuge. It should be the one place where you can relax and unwind at the end of your day. A true retreat will combine comfort, beauty, and practicality, custom-made to fit your personal taste. Not sure where to begin decorating the bedroom of your dreams? Use this simple guide to assist you in your quest. 1) Add A Fresh Coat Of Paint Since this is a room in which relaxation is paramount, select a color that will help to create a relaxing atmosphere, whatever that means to you. You may feel most relaxed around soft colors, like a neutral or blue, or maybe you love something deep and rich, like charcoal or dark green. 2) Sitting Pretty A nice addition to the master bedroom is a sitting area. All you need is a comfy chair, small side table, and lamp to create a cozy spot where you can relax, read a book or enjoy your morning coffee. If space allows, add a bench or a couple of ottomans at the foot of the bed. 3) Make A Dreamy Bed  You spend a third of your life sleeping, so it’s important to choose a mattress, pillows and bedding that are the most comfortable for you. Invest in 100-percent-natural-fiber sheets such as cotton or linen (they're soft, breathable, and long-lasting) and new pillows every year or two. A thick new mattress topper is another easy way to give an older bed new cushiness. Add decorative pillows and layers of linens to accentuate the relaxing look.
