Wall art draws attention, pulls together your interior, and makes your home more inviting.

Although it could seem engaging, procurement, purchasing, and installing art pieces you love is ultimately worth it. Not only does wall art add personality to your space, but it gives any room a quick makeover and ties everything together.

Best accessories for hanging pictures

• Picture Hanger

All you’ll need is a small hammer. The setup of an framed picture hanger’s angled nail and metal hook will provide sufficient support for most framed pictures. Check the bundle for the weight limit your hanger will hold. For larger images, it is often advisable to use a couple of hangers.

• Wall Anchor

Made of plastic or synthetic fibers, wall anchors perform as straps into which a screw can be clamped. Refer to the product’s packaging instructions for the correct size of the hole to drill.

Once you have drilled a hole, squeeze the anchor in with a hammer until it is perfectly flat with the wall. Place your item or spacer on the wall, insert the screw, and tighten. Tightening the screw causes the anchor to expand inside the wall, establishing your bracket to the wall.

• MollyBolt

When you do not have a drill, you may want to look for a molly bolt that can be hammered into the wall.

Once the encased bolt is in the wall, turn it clockwise with a plain screwdriver. When it does not spin anymore, turn it counter-clockwise to secure its strap against the inside of the wall. If required, the bolt can be excluded to put it through the item or bracket you’re hanging.

When attaching two different brackets to the wall, you may want to use an expansion bolt for the top hole, but a wood screw will be enough in the lower spot.

They are strongly recommended for mirrors, shelf units, brackets, and other bulky items on wallboard or plaster.

• Toggle Bolt

As with wall anchors, toggle bolt installation begins with drilling a small hole and then lightly tapping the toggle bolt into location. Good for heavier jobs, toggle bolts have spring-activated “wings” that fold out once inside the empty wall.

As you tighten the bolt with a screwdriver, the wingtips expand and are drawn against the wall.

Note: Once installed, removing the bolt from the wall will cause the wings to disassociate and fall behind the wall.

Strongly advised for mirrors, rack units, brackets, and other heavy items on drywall or plaster

The best technique to mount pictures on drywall

Most walls are essentially hollow, with comparatively soft plaster or drywall hiding their solid wooden framework. Behind such a wall, the boards or studs give ample support for any object put on the wall, but they can be challenging to identify and may not be spaced where you want them.

So for surfaces other than wood, a standard nail or screw is frequently inadequate.

Hardware hangers which we’ve listed below, specially made for hollow walls, alleviate the problem of surfaces too weak to hold a nail or screw. Most hardware stores stock these in various sizes.

Placement for Art-Work

For the Kitchen

The kitchen is the most ignored space when it comes to artwork. Even kitchens deserve some art love! The kitchen is the “heart of the home” and the most used area of the house. Art in a kitchen livens the space and creates an ambiance. Countertops or places above cabinets are ideal locations for art. To keep the art in the details, lean toward smaller items that complement, not overwhelm, the environment. Amusing or more social prints may make us grin and make our mornings easier!

Well-covered artwork such as framed posters, matt paper posters suits the kitchen environment. You wouldn’t want your favorite artwork to be soiled by an errant splatter of food, would you? Posters made of glossy paper tend to carry fingerprints and other stains on them and are a less suitable option for kitchen artwork.

Countertop artwork can be placed in simple holders made of metal or wood. These accessories make good use of an unused part of the countertop.

For the Bedroom

The bedroom is a hideaway, a haven for rest, and the artwork should reflect that. Large-scale pieces are excellent and should be hung at eye level. Look for abstract details with relaxing colors or tones. If you are like photography, landscapes or desaturated photographs work best. Keep the frames minimal—a gallery frame or canvases work wonderfully as well. Therefore, we choose to concentrate on the art piece itself and not so much on its structure.

For the Bathroom

The bathroom is another space that often gets overlooked for art. The artwork you choose should go with the ambiance of the bathroom. For example, if it’s a powder room on the main level, you should stick to more colorful and vivid artwork. If it’s a master bath, go with quieter or calming concepts.

Bathroom art looks excellent in pairs. They can be two of the same abstract works with one flipped on its side or two distinct pieces with the same subject. Suitable placements for these items would be over the toilet, the jacuzzi, or the towel/robe hangers.

For the Living Room

The most exciting room to decorate with art, and most often, the scariest, is the living room. Choosing the perfect item is vital in stimulating dialogue and defining the mood or atmosphere of the area. You can pick one large-scale artwork based on the size of the wall where this art will go.

Diptych and Triptych wall art, and even more than three images on one wall, is a common wall feature in many a home these days. Diphtych and Triptych are artwork that are displayed in panels ; two in Diptychs and three in the case of Triptychs.

Wall art accessories are usually available at the same store where art work is purchased. Care must be taken during installation as improper installation can cause unnecessary damage. When done properly wall art accessories accentuate beauty of the art they support, be it lighting or mounting accessories.
