Mineola West Custom Decorating ....Open risor stairs

Blah! Wall becomes a Wow! Wall
Do you have a wall that is looking completely naked? We did and with the help of our designer it is looking much warmer. Take a look at the before and after photos. Before our wall was about sixteen feet long with no decoration except for the two sets of light switches and a cold air return vent. Our designer recommended something that she had shown on the television show Cityline, basically it involves making one piece of art carry more weight on a large wall. To do this paint a large rectangle with a complementing colour of the existing wall. How to paint the rectangle: Indent the beginning and end of your rectangle 2 feet from each wall end and make the height at least identical to the height of your artwork. Then hang the artwork and be creative where you place it. In our case we hung the piece with its right frame edge indented 6 inches from the left end of the painted rectangle. Then we pushed the art works top frame edge 6 inches above the painted rectangles top edge.

Play around with your design on paper before you begin and make it your custom design.
