Creating a salon wall—a curated arrangement of framed art prints—is an excellent way to bring personality and visual interest into any room. Salon walls are versatile; they work in spaces of any size, from living rooms and bedrooms to hallways or even stairwells. A well-thought-out wall can enhance a room's aesthetic, tell a story, and showcase your personal style or favorite themes.
To start, choose a mix of art prints that complement each other, whether through color palettes, themes, or varying art styles. Try a combination of photographs, landscapes, abstract pieces, and minimalist style prints to create diversity. When curating your collection, think about the mood you want to evoke—soft, neutral tones create calm, while bold colors bring energy. And consider the space…how is it used? Is it a private spot or more communal?
Once you've selected your prints, frame them in various sizes to add dimension. For a cohesive look, pick frames that share a common thread—like color, material, or style. Make sure to experiment with layout: laying your frames out on the floor first can help you visualize your arrangement. For a balanced salon wall, start with larger pieces as focal points, spacing smaller ones around them to create flow. Work from the center out and you will find that it will fit like a puzzle.
Finally, don’t be afraid to add personal touches like decorative objects picked up in travels. These extras can give your salon wall a more compelling feel, tying it together with the rest of your decor. Ultimately, salon walls are a form of self expression, and every art print you choose adds a piece of your story to your space.
