i stumbled across a wall decor situation the other day that i’ve fallen in love with

it’s something that can really only be done in a specific space, and unfortunately my current apartment won’t allow for it (my walls are currently occupied with picture frames and large prints). fortunately the plan is to move this summer so i can spend the next few months gathering the necessary supplies for my project wish list.

one of the main components to the success of this setup is finding themed prints. i love fashion and photography so i’ll likely end up going in that general direction. there are a million options to chose from but finding a cohesive theme is key or else the space looks disjointed and confusing. I’ve seen people use actual personal pictures, vintage paris, shoes, fashion sketches, the possibilities are endless. for my theme I’ve looked online and found some great prints of varying sizes on Etsy and also at Chapters.

once the prints are ordered and ready, the next step is finding simple frames. the frames can be all the same color or varying color stories- the idea though is to try and find the frames that will have the print centered and have a white backing behind them

finally- chose a wall. if you’re really daring and have the freedom to do so, paint the wall a complementary color to the room it is in (red, teal, black if you’re really feeling adventurous)

if you’re really looking for a bold statement, add a 3 dimensional center piece to your wall statement. most home decor stores offer a section where your can find a faux deer bust or rabbit bust to hang on the wall. i’ve seen these available at the Simons home section as well as at Indigo

Voila! your wall is done! you can add, remove and change prints as frequently as you’d like, or leave the wall as is without changes. the whole project shouldn’t set you back more than $200 if done frugally (use Winners Homesense for the frames for example as opposed to a framing store)
