Homestaging Wall Art: It's Day 31!

A month doesn’t seem like a long time. But it is when you commit to doing something every one of those days, whether you want to or not.

I never ran a marathon, I’ve never been called an overachieving type A, and I’m about as competitive as a jellyfish, so pushing myself to create a new blog post for 31 consecutive days didn’t come naturally.

In one way I enjoyed the test to come up with fresh content under pressure. I was almost glad that the self-imposed deadlines came at me fast and furious.

  

But I missed the satisfaction that I was posting the best tutorials, photos and writing that I could – if only I had more time.

I’m Hanging It Up

I learned a lot by researching, dreaming, experimenting and writing about wall art for homestaging in the past month.

I hope you’ve learned along with me. I hope you’ve picked up some tips about decorating your walls.

Whether you are staging your own home, staging other people’s homes, or just having fun with art, I like to think I helped.  

Everyone needs a creative outlet. Blogging is mine. Maybe you’ll find a new creative outlet or art form in the tutorials I’ve posted.

Here’s my summary of what an effective home stager should know when choosing wall art.

• Art for staging should never be offensive or controversial
• Big is best.
• There are economical and easy ways to create your own art.
• A variety of media are suitable for staging art -- paintings, textiles, collages, photos and combinations of these forms.
• Framing and matting can make all the difference.

As your high school teacher might have said, “If you forget everything else I’ve said this semester, remember those points.”
