I have heard a lot of people say they don’t “understand” printables. If you don’t have any of your own photos that you’d like to print, then definitely consider buying printables! It looks chic, contemporary and playful all at once and I am living for it. While I am not really a fan of hanging wordy art in the home (think “ Gather“, or “ Blessed” type signage), having a word or phrase scribbled in neon lights is a whole other game. Use neon signs have been noticing the trend of using neon signs in interior design over the past few years and I am 100% on board with it. If you use cabinets, they don’t have to be on the floor: you can also use floating cabinets which can be purchased inexpensively from IKEA.Ĭabinets can be closed off, or have glass panels to expose the contents inside.īookshelves come in a myriad of different styles, just pick one that fits yours! 8.

The beauty of pre-stretched canvases is that you do not need to frame them, they can hang on the wall directly (which saves tons of money big frames can get pricey!). If you bought a pre-stretched canvas, there is nothing left for you to do but hang your art and admire your work! Once you’re done, don’t forget to paint the edges of your canvas, especially if you’re hanging your piece without a frame! Or you can leave them white if you wish. If you make a mistake or you don’t like how a certain section turned out, let the paint dry and cover it up with white paint. If you picked an easy subject, it shouldn’t take you more than a few hours. Whip out your reference art, and copy it as best you can on your large canvas. Stay away from oil and watercolor paints, as those are trickier.ĭon’t forget a couple of largeish paintbrushes, you can go for the cheap synthetic ones, they work great with acrylic paints!ģ. Buy student grade acrylic paints (they’re much cheaper than artist grade paints!).

When we’re faced with the task of filling up a LARGE blank space on the wall, often the first thought or suggestion is to create a gallery wall. Large blank walls are EVERYWHERE and always intimidating!! Please don’t say “create a gallery wall” Turns out it doesn’t matter how big your house is: whether you live in a 1 bedroom apartment or in a 5000 sqft home. I’ve been struggling with this problem ever since we moved into our new place, so I ended up doing a lot of research on ways to fill up a big wall and looking at large wall decor ideas that wouldn’t entail spending a ton of money. I have spent more time than I like to admit just staring at the walls in my apartment, wondering what the HECK to put there. Large scale pieces to hang on your walls do not have to come with a large price tag – there are plenty of ways to cost-effectively deck out your big walls without breaking the bank. In my opinion, the fastest way to fill large blank wall spaces is to add LARGE items that provide a lot of coverage.
