Wrapping art around walls or placing it asymmetrically or at different heights instantly changes the focal point of a space.

Art comes in many forms and so it pays to use your imagination when it comes to decorating your walls. I discovered this fencing mask in the US, however, I’m sure he’s French. I put it on and I can hear his accent. The paper rosette demonstrates the results of a simple DIY project. Start playing around with a roll of stiff brown paper and see what emerges.

Abandon precise and measured hanging arrangements in favour of dense, off-kilter groupings. Add new acquisitions as you go.

‘Up high, down low’ hanging arrangements are an artful alternative to the usual symmetrical placement. Raffia-wrapped wire, obviously displayed for all to see, adds another layer of decoration.

To avoid a look that’s too prescriptive it’s important to throw something unexpected into the mix – in this case a taped-up snapshot and a giant cross made of funeral foam into the mix.

Add a 3D detail to your wall with string art, easy to do yourself at home with a little help from the internet or a talented friend.
