How to use the rule of three and finally get your wall art to hang straight.\n\n\n

$\"\"$ \n
Your wall art looks haphazard\n
A randomly placed or poorly sized piece of artwork can make an entire room look chaotic. \u201cIt\u2019s important to pick pieces that are to scale with the wall that you\u2019re putting them on,\u201d says Marissa Sauer, interior designer and founder . \u201cA piece that is too small could look a bit random. And a piece that\u2019s too big can make the room look small and cluttered.\u201d Sauer recommends that each piece of artwork relate spatially to something else in the room. For example, if you have a five-foot sofa, choose a four-foot painting. \u201cThe art has got to connect to something,\u201d she says. Check out these room design tricks interior decorators always use.\n\n

$\"\"$ \n
You chose high-maintenance furniture\n
If spraying down every surface in your home is the last thing on your do-to list, steer clear of high-maintenance pieces. Dust will be more apparent on dark-stained wood furniture and fingerprints will show up quickly on glass and mirrors. Be mindful of the pieces in your home that get messiest the fastest, and clean them first.\n\n\n\n

$\"\"$ \n
Your walls look dated\n
With current color trends leaning toward light and airy looks, duller colors with brown undertones could feel dated and dirty. \u201cIt\u2019s not that they\u2019re bad,\u201d says Sauer, \u201cit just feels a bit dated. And people often connect things that are older with things that are messier.\u201d\n

$\"\"$ \n
Your picture frames are misaligned\n
To organize multiple pieces of art in a row or gallery-type display, Sauer recommends some forward planning. Her trick is to roll a large sheet of paper to the size of the space she\u2019d like to fill with art. She places the sheet on the floor and shifts around her picture frames until she finds a setup she likes (she recommends keeping around one and two inches between smaller frames, and two or three inches between larger ones). Sauer then traces each frame and marks where each nail needs to go to hang them. She then tapes the sheet of paper to the wall, puts all the nails in where the dots are, and tears the paper down. Hang the frames and your gallery is complete. Got a few frames that just won\u2019t stay straight? \u201cPut a small piece of Velcro or a command strip onto the bottom of the frame so it doesn\u2019t tilt sideways,\u201d Sauer says.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
You forgot to consider exposed cords\n
Nothing says chaos like a bunch of exposed cords and power strips. Identify all of your home\u2019s problem spots and look into creative ways to conceal the mess. For example, your computer\u2019s power strip can be hung in a basket underneath the desk. Other strips can be hidden inside drawers and behind decorations.\n\n\n\n

\n
$\"\"$ \n
You over-accessorized\n
When styling objects on tables and shelves, keep everything grouped in threes (or other odd numbers like five and seven) and make sure there\u2019s a clear focal point and lots of white space, advises Sauer. To keep things interesting, group objects of varying heights, and if your table is a square, position them on a 45-degree angle.\n\n

$\"\"$ \n
\u00a0Your rug is the wrong size\n
To pull your living space together and make it look like one unit\u2014as opposed to randomly placed furniture\u2014make sure the front feet of each piece in your seating area is on top of the rug.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
Your sofa and pillows look flat\n

A wrinkled slipcover and deformed throw pillows can make any setup look messy. Fluff everything up and make sure your upholstery is in top shape.\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
