Here is an interesting article dedicated to the topic on how to best show off your art pieces.
Creative Ways To Display Art Work
Some people spend a considerable amount of money on a work of art and believe that the picture quality deserves to be displayed to where everyone can view it when they enter the room. The art connoisseur will consider all vantage points in the room to determine which angle and viewing location will be best. Then they will use a professional hanger to suspend the art from a wall.
Some art work is heavier than most and might require a twisted braid of wire to be used to securely hang the painting on the wall. This method is used on wall murals that will cover an entire wall and it might also be used for paintings that are oddly shaped, hard to handle and harder to hang by any other method. The shape and weight of the outside frame used on any work of art will be the determining factors in how a work of art will be displayed.
Some people choose to display art by suspending it from the art from the ceiling. Chain is typically used to hang the painting and eyelet screws are used as devices that will connect the frame to the chain. People use spray paint to add a touch of color to the chain to blend it into the wall coloring. People are then exposed to art that seems to be floating on the wall with nothing to support it in any direction.
There are many frames that can be used to decorate art in many forms. Shadow boxes can be used to display artful memories of the past or ancestral photographs that have some small memento alongside. There are shadow box frames that can be open from the front that allow people to admire art that has been created by arranging stones into designs. Shadow boxes give a three-dimensional quality to any type of art that is placed under the glass on the cover.
People use a variety of designs to display art. They use various colors of frames to create wall designs that are very interesting to look at and shaped to bring attention to the art that is displayed under glass. People choose to use colored mats as additional accents for the frames and these colors add to the quality of the decorative art design that has been created on a wall.
Some art can be created using canvas that has been stretched and mounted. Any painting that is completed on the white canvas can be suitable for hanging in a few minutes. Some people create frames using quality wood products that they buy themselves, or they take the canvas to a frame shop and have the craftsmen construct a frame that will be very complimentary to the art.
