There
is a new trend in home décor: Layering.
One would think that it’s an easy style to pull off... simply take a bunch of artwork
and place it haphazardly on your mantle or bookshelf. Please, no! Be smart
about layering your art. Here’s how:
All

Step
one: Pick images and objects that you
feel would create an interesting grouping. They should be different sizes, but
share a similar colour palette.
Step
two: When visiting your local framer,
keep things simple. If the frames are too ornate or too thick, it will be hard
to layer evenly. Use glass and not exposed canvas, as an object could easily
poke into an artwork and create a long lasting indentation.
Step
three: The more you overlap, the
higher the chances of losing the images you were hoping to show off. Notice how,
in the following examples, there are no more than three consecutive levels.
Step
four: Be careful! Sturdy the larger frames
to your wall (by adding hooks and nails) or inserting a thin ledge or groove to
your shelf. You want to be sure to prevent them from toppling over!
These tips are so idea. I'm obsessed with this look but I'm hopeless at doing it... Will definitely give your ideas a shot!
