A Salon Wall in 6 Steps

We spend a bunch of time indoors during winter which is why it’s the perfect season to beautify your home with those DIY projects you’ve been putting off. Salon walls are a great opportunity to mix your favourite art pieces and mediums in one place.

I’ve been desperate to create a salon wall in my small, but intimate living room and found theses 6 simple steps from www.chatelaine.com on how to execute this job perfectly.

The perfect salon wall is a mix of styles and art mediums. We show you how to build one with these tips:

1. Start with the biggest piece

Place your largest piece of art first. Pro tip: hang it slightly off-centre.

2. Vary frame styles

A variety of mats and frames keeps the look eclectic.

3. Mix in objects

To avoid a flat display, hang 3-D pieces like antlers, signs or display letters.

4. Use art that jolts

Add interest with a piece that stands out from the others.

5. Add small artworks

Build out from your big piece of art with smaller items.

6. Don’t worry about making it perfect
