Make bare walls look appealing

New York, May 18 (IANS) Banish those bare walls and use easily available items like plates, art and photos to make walls more interesting.

Go from boring to unbelievable with a few creative tricks, reports huffingtonpost.com:

* Hang plates: Display plates or flea-market finds in a space where art would feel cramped, such as in the corner of a large kitchen or along a lengthy corridor.

* Create a gallery: Let your wall express yourself. Choose art, prints, and photos that tell a story about people, places, or things in your life. If you're hanging a grouping of art, maintaining two inches or more between frames on all sides is a good rule of thumb.

* Transform a stairway: Go beyond the living room wall and try out other spaces such as along a stairwell.

* Reinvent a corner: Bare white walls should have a chance to inspire you, too. Choose a grouping of inspiring items that work together. Mixing up shapes and sizes adds visual interest to the space.
