Serving the Stuart, Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie Area
How can you turn your living room, bedroom, or other home space into an artistic gallery-inspired area? Along with painting, photos, and other imaginative art, take a look at how you can use mirrors to create this type of salon-inspired display.
Choose a Theme
Create a cohesive look and design a wall that has visual unity with a central theme. This doesn't mean every piece of art or mirror has to look the same - or even similar. Instead, pick one idea and go from there.
These can include anything from the great outdoors and animal life to geometrical shapes and architecture. Even though mirrors are blank (but shiny) slates, you can still add to the theme with a custom-cut design. To include mirrors in your themed gallery wall display:
Instead of a store-bought or off the rack mirror, choose a custom design from an expert glass contractor. The glass professional can help you to design a mirror (or mirrors) that compliment every aspect of the themed wall.
Use Levels and Lines
Whether you choose one cohesive theme or not, you can use mirrors and other art to create visual interest with different lines and levels. Forget about perfectly matched lines and put the level away. Instead of a single string or a vertical stack of wall art:
A multi-level approach can work on a variety of types of walls. Whether you only have half a wall above a mantel or a full-length wall to work with, you can rearrange lines, size, and shapes to create a layered look.
Select a Centerpiece
Even though a centerpiece mirror can help you to build a themed wall, you don't have to use custom-cut glass as this type of anchor. If you don't like the themed idea or your artwork just doesn't fit into a cohesive category-like approach, use a mirror to pull together an eclectic décor strategy.
To use a mirror as a centerpiece:
As the name implies, the centerpiece should go in the center. Hang the mirror first and work outwards as you add to your gallery-style wall display.
