Dramatic Walls

When your home looks good you feel good. Dressing your walls or ceilings is a must.   Below are a few tips that you could do yourself or you could hire a contractor to do the work. 

Make a wall gallery.  It is simple and easy.  Here I used wood frames that I painted black and simply put different black and white patterns in the frames.  Line your photos or artwork up on the floor before you apply it to a wall.  I used mounting tape to hold the frames and patterns to the wall.  Items can be found at A.C. Moore and Jo Anns Fabric Stores.

Make your own art work.  Get a canvas board from any arts and craft store and go wild.  Paint it, stencil it, or apply fabric to it to get the look you want.  In this picture I spray painted the canvas silver, then wrapped it with wire, applied some scrap metal and then added studs to the edges of the scrap metal.

If you have a plain mirror jazz it up by frosting it out, painting it, or use stencil.  Here I applied painters tape in different directions and then sprayed the mirror with frost.

Add a border around your existing art work to make it POP.  This was done by simply using paint tape and paint.  You also can use a molding to bring out your exiting wall art.
