in Decorating, Inspiration

I am in the process of printing photographs and organizing some artwork to hang on a big, empty wall in our living room. We have lived in this house for a year now, but I haven’t done a ton of decorating yet.

I really want to hang some of my own photographs and some other art that I have made or collected. I have been looking for some inspiration in displaying artwork. I really want to have this wall be full of family photographs, fine art prints of my own, and other collected artwork. So, I have been browsing for some flickr inspiration for a few weeks – and then sfgirlbybay posted an series of ideas earlier this week – so I decided to collect my favorites all in one spot here. (Go check out her post, she has many more ideas – I just narrowed it down to my favorites)

I love the vintage photos in black frames (and how fun is that pink chair?)

I adore this eclectic bunch of artwork hung over the sofa. I like how they grouped the frames really close together (and can you see the anthropologie mug on the shelf behind the couch? I am obsessed, apparently)

This picture shows a fun collection of artwork and accessories on shelves … I like how this group of accessories includes some framed doilies and other objects … I bet I have some cool collected objects or crocheted items that I could include on my wall …

Love all the paintings in mismatched frames:

LOVE this collection of vintage photos in matching black frames (from domino):

Lots of pattern and contrast in the monochromatic collection here (also from domino):

There is a ton of ideas in these pictures. I can’t wait to get started. I’ve already had a few of my images printed, and I have some great ideas for other accessories to frame and hang on the wall. I will post pictures of my art wall as soon as it is done!
