One of the best ways to dress up a wall is to add a piece of art to it. Few things dress a room up as much as a great piece of artwork if it is displayed properly. Read this article and get some tips on displaying artwork the right way.

The first tip is to use the right size of art based on your furniture size. If you are hanging a piece of art behind a couch for example you do not want it to be larger than the couch. You do not even really want it to be the same size. Make it about seventy percent the size of the couch and it will look great. Another tip is to take wall size into consideration as well. You do not want to have to squeeze in that piece of at on the wall, choose the right piece for the right sized wall. You should have sufficient space on the sides of the artwork to keep it from appearing crowded. My final tip for you is to use shelving. If you have several smaller pieces of art consider using a decorative floating shelf to display them. You can even put a larger piece of art above the shelf and then the smaller pieces on the shelf. Floating shelves are quite inexpensive, easy to install and readily available in a number of different designs.

Hopefully you have found some good information in this article. If you find that you are still unable to hang your artwork in a visually pleasing way you should consult a decorator. They have the experience to do it properly. Good luck to you.
