Artwork on a brick wall

16 days ago

last modified: 16 days ago

Hi - looking for a piece of artwork for the brick wall and wondered if anyone could advise whether lots of frames or one bold and bright might be best? I am also a bit concerned on the weight of heavy frames as I don't think the wall would take it (!) but also not sure I want to have a canvas. If anyone can suggest places to look for affordable art that might work for here, I'd be v grateful.

I've attached a pic of the brick wall and also the other side of the kitchen to give you an idea of colour/ layout (excuse the mess..lol) TIA x

I'd go with one larger artwork rather than a gallery wall. It creates a stronger focal point and suits the scale of the space.

If you think artwork with glass and frame is heavy for the wall, I would say go with a canvas art framed in a floater frame like the image above from Sarah or as per my below mockups.

Floater frame is usually very light. You can go with earthy colours or even some vibrant hues like bright sunset for warmer feel or cooler tones to contrast the feel of warm bricks.

Look for a local art hanger. Most galleries can refer you to one or Google it. Some designers do this too. A professional hanger will have the best solution. I always use a professional to hang special pieces or collector value art. The service is not particularly expensive and so worth it. Saves on holes in the wall too!

I’m having trouble deciding on wall colour selection to go with new kitchen cabinets. I’ve even hung art work as inspiration. The tiles are a honey wood grain effect. Advice on how to co-ordinate colours would be appreciated.

Good day! There are special means for cleaning the brick and stone, for example: http://www.decolor.si/eng/produkti/decoclean-fa/ but you can consider other manufacturers available to you.

I want to either get rid of the planter that is on the right side of my fireplace (which takes up an entire wall) or re-purpose it. Any ideas?
