Stairwells & Frames: Love this Look?

Gallery walls are pretty much perfect anywhere you put them – but how about leading you up the stairs as in these images above?

Putting these arrangements together likely takes a decent amount of patience, but I’d say it is worth the effort! The first two picture galleries have a climbing effect as the stairs escalate, while the third image just has the frames arranged over the entire wall. And they’re all green, while the others are all black and a mixture of black, white, silver.

There’s a lot you can do with the details of this look – but as far as stairwells and picture frames go – what do you think of it? Do you love this look?

Etsy Roundup: Giclee Prints

etsy-roundup-giclee-prints

There are so many art-related items on Etsy. SO many. Inspired by a gallery wall of art, I had to narrow it down to Giclee prints for this round up or else I would have been on Etsy all week. From the nine images above, you can tell there’s a great, diverse collection. For those of you wondering what the heck giclee is, it’s a printing process that uses archival inks. It is often used in museums and by artists duplicating paintings or other textural work.

Even though I like the all-giclee gallery above, I think I would branch out a little in my own home.  Adding different textures to the wall, such as paintings or shadow boxes would bring in some texture. As would a mirror, as seen in the gallery wall below.

Yes, that is actually the name of this bookcase designed by Ron Arad, a designer based in the United Kingdom. I was browsing the content posted by people I follow on Tumblr , and I discovered this bookshelf that unites books in a very interesting way.
