This works best if you have tall ceilings. If they are framed, what about hanging your prized posters and pictures such that they create a wall divider? You would put in little hooks on the bottom of each frame and suspend a little chain or cable down to the next one and so on.

If you are not hanging them in front of a window (as seen here), but actually as a room divider, you can cut pieces of wallpaper and glue them to the back of your frames such that both sides would be pleasant to look at.

You can also rest them on the window sill. If unframed and untextured, you can spread them out on a dining table or work desk and place a large piece of glass on top.

Or here’s kind of a crazy one, but I like it if you have the space and the money. You can build a Plexiglass or acrylic platform and place the art works underneath. You can put your creation in front of your couch, sort of like a low coffee table meets platform.

Steve Schmidt created The Crysanthemum out of plastic containers and zip ties. It is 60″x60″ and it is breathtaking. It has caught my eye when I walked on Westwood Blvd before and I always wanted to find out more about it. It looks so soft and supple and even when looking at it up close, it is hard to believe that it is made out of milk containers and plastic zip ties.

I think something like this would also look great in a more organic amoeba-like shape or in a long, horizontal rectangle. People are also doing some incredible things with plastic bags these days. This art piece was created in 2007.

I think you can do some really fun stuff with felt and you get a choice of natural or bright colors. Check out this site for felt inspiration. Amazing work. You can work with a sewing machine or with a glue gun. Particularly take a look at the wall panels.

You can also do some fun stuff with fabric panels. Here is a step by step for how to make one. I like the idea of grouping a few smaller panels together or you can go for one large one for effect. You can always stick other materials or pieces of fabric on the panel for added texture.

I am also a firm believer in sticking things onto walls that do not traditionally belong there. By way of putting something up, it draws attention and highlights it as an object for observation. This can produce some fun effects. It is also a chance to showcase your interests and personality. Check out some things people collect and put up on their walls. I think the key is to pick a similar object in different colors or different objects and paint them all one color.

In addition to playing with fabrics and objects, there is always the option of shelves. Additionally you can do some playing around with sticks. The sticks sculpture pictured here is actually a floor sculpture but I like the idea of hanging sticks clustered together horizontally above the couch. I did some playing around with sticks of my own and will post the result soon.
