Curate a Salon Wall


A salon wall is a great way to show off a collection of artwork and found objects. It’s also a fun project that the whole family could help plan. On a traditional salon wall, dozens of objects of differing sizes and shapes are hung together. Symmetry is not important, but balance is. Make a miniature of each artwork you’d like to include and play around with placement. The kids will love this part! Pro tip: make sure to include both two and three dimensional works. Miniature shelves, antlers, bones, old tools- these will add visual interest and texture.
