Looking for different and creative ways to make focal points out of your wall art?  Here are a couple different variations you can use.

Looking for help in hanging your wall art? Give this a try.  Before committing with nails, hang up pieces of paper the same size as your pictures using painters tape.  Painter's tape will keep the paint on your walls safe.  Doing a test run on your wall will give a great representation of how the arrangement will look once hung.
