2. Hang artwork in unexpected places to create visual interest

Many of us have artwork that we love but don’t know what to do with. Perhaps it’s a painting that doesn’t quite fit our color scheme, or a piece that is too large for the space we have available. Whatever the reason, it can be tricky to find the perfect spot for our favorite pieces. If you’re struggling to figure out where to hang your artwork, try thinking outside the box. Hanging a piece in an unexpected place can create visual interest and add a touch of whimsy to your home.
