If you’re looking for a way to display your favorite piece of art in your home, then you have a couple of options to choose from. Rather than settling with simply hanging your piece of art on the wall, choose from one of these creative ways to display art in your home instead.

Use Ribbon to Hang Art on the Wall
You can go beyond simply hanging a piece of art from a nail in the wall by using ribbon to hang the art instead. Carefully choose your ribbon so that it adds to the art and complements it well. Hang ribbon either from a hook or screw in the middle of the back of the art piece or from both sides. Use a small nail or place a hook on the wall to hang it from. Especially if you end up using more than one ribbon to hang it by, you want to be sure that the artwork hangs evenly on the wall.

Place Artwork on a Decorative Shelf
A great place to display art is on a decorative shelf. There are all types of decorative shelves and ledges available that will add to the beauty of any piece of art.

Do be sure that the size of the shelf you select is appropriate to the size of the piece. You might also decide to display an entire collection of art on the shelf, rather than just one piece. It’s important to also double check to make sure that the shelf or ledge is properly installed before placing any artwork on it.

Use a Fireplace Mantel to Display Art
Do you have a nice fireplace mantel in your home? Why not draw even more attention to your mantel by placing a piece of artwork on it? Rather than hanging the artwork above the mantel, try placing the piece on the mantel and up against the wall.

Although the artwork should be smaller than the mantel, you don’t want a piece that’s so small that you don’t really see the art against the larger mantel. Rather than just displaying the one small piece, place two or three smaller pieces on the mantel for a unique look. Make sure that the piece of art is secure. After all, you don’t want it falling down off the mantel.

Find Unique Hangers for the Art
There are many different things you can use to hang artwork that you probably haven’t even thought of. For instance, if you have a favorite stocking holder, you can nail it to the wall and use it to hold your favorite piece of art instead.

You might also use a rope or chain that hangs from the ceiling or the top of the wall. One piece can be hung from it or several pieces. Hang the artwork either vertically or horizontally, depending on the length of the wall. Essentially, you are creating something like a clothesline for your pieces of art across a blank wall.

You don’t have to keep displaying pieces of art in your home in the same old boring ways. No matter the style and theme of the room, there are plenty of creative and crafty ways to display your art. So get creative and use one of these ideas to display art in your home.
