Lean the paintings against the wall!
Hanging the paintings on the wall might feel like the obvious choice, but to lean them against the wall instead can in many cases be just as nice. Here's the evidence!
We see more and more people who, instead of hanging their paintings on the walls, choose to casually lean them against the wall. A perfect alternative for those who want to get the paintings up without making holes in the wall — or simply because it's stylish, creative and a little different!
Decorating with paintings in this way creates space for both flexibility and creativity. Avoiding making holes in the wall makes it easy to test the waters, and we have seen many beautiful still lifes created where standing paintings have played a part.
Placements for leaning paintings
The painting (or paintings) are usually placed standing on a smart piece of furniture such as a Welsh dresser, chest of drawers or counter. Even smaller furniture such as bedside tables or a small side table can act as a stage for your smaller paintings. Some even choose to place larger paintings directly on the floor, which can also be quite decorative and modernly striking. In fact, there are no rules, and as previously mentioned, it's easy to try out different arrangements.
