Wall collage ideas

Take butcher paper cut in shapes of your wall art (outline with a pencil).  This is the time to move things around until it’s just right. Frames should hang at eye level or around 5 feet. If you’re exceptionally tall or have very high ceilings, you can hang them a tad higher.  Place nails into the butcher paper and rip down the paper- art is ready to hang!

Option, spray paint frames all one color:

Black and white art/frames against a colored wall:

Option, mismatched frames:

floor coverings- sisal v jute

a natural and organic floor covering: sisal or jute rugs- both add warmth and are very affordable.  they are also easy to care for!

what is the difference?

jutes are a little coarser and while durable are not as suited for high traffic areas as they are for bedrooms and and dining rooms.  they tend to be a little chunkier in texture as well.

sisals are a little smoother and are flame retardant and so are better suited for playrooms and high traffic areas (entry ways and stairways)

Pottery Barn and Ballard Designs both have a great selection of these types of rugs and while they tend to be natural in color- you can also get them patterned, bordered or even paint or dye them for added color
