Hanging pictures, art, and posters on the walls can add personality and charm to your home's overall home staging look. While professional home stagers would generally discourage you from hanging family portraits when staging the home (the space needs to be depersonalized as much as possible), there are plenty of other décor you can hang on the walls for an added touch of class or comfort.
Are you an aspiring photographer with several images you are particularly proud of? They may go well over the fireplace, on the dining room wall, or going up the staircase. Artworks you have purchased or collected over the years are also excellent additions to wall décor. Whatever you decide to display on your walls, it is important not to overdo or cram the space with too much décor that it becomes distracting or looks hectic.
Secure the wall décor
You would not want that painting or picture falling from the wall or hurting a potential home buyer when they tour your space. Make sure that it is hanging properly and securely. You can opt for nails and wall studs for strength. Picture hanging-hooks and fasteners are also options for mid-sized frames. For pictures and paintings that are larger and heavier, screws would be safer and more secure.
Use wall art for color
Posters, photographs, and paintings can be the much-needed splash of color you want in your indoor space. You want to paint your walls a bright red but your spouse and your realtor do not approve? Look for wall art and images with bright red hues and colors, display them in groups on your walls, and watch the colors come to life.
Your wall art can also add contrast or accent to your space. If your walls are painted in bright colors and hues, paintings or posters that are pastel-based or with light colors would provide contrast and visual appeal.
Not just paintings and photographs
There are other kinds of wall décor that you can add for variety. For instance, hanging candleholders can be interspersed between frames. Crafts made of different materials can also be displayed for a cozy ambience. A colorful wall clock can be both functional and decorative. If you like to change up the wall art every time in a while, you can hang clipboards of various sizes and then use them as display frames for different images or quotes that you like.
