Most people have a tendency to over hang their walls. I can save you money and create a far more distinctive look if you follow a few of my suggestions. Believe me, I know what I am talking about, because many homes use these concepts and regularly win interior design awards.

Many clients and decorators place two or three vertical subjects side by side to do a horizontal area over a couch, dining table, hall or master bed space.

The rational for this is that the eye will always move back and forth between the subjects, making the wall more interesting over time and far less tiring.

Most fireplaces use a vertical piece of art in the space above it because a horizontal makes a room look short and squatty, where as the vertical makes a room more statuesque, and works better with the ceiling height. Let the space around the art work to its advantage.
