# 12 Artwork Today - More than Paintings

Traditional artwork  is a beautiful way to add interest to your home, but the sky is the limit on creatively decorating your walls. Fabric is an easy way to add color and interest to your walls. Beautiful fabrics can be framed, stretched over canvas, or layered to add texture to your walls.

Beautiful and colorful fabrics are everywhere - scarves, imported textiles, upholster fabrics, vintage clothing, or sentimental keepsakes such as a christening dress or a wedding dress. Fabrics with different textures or colors can be layered on a canvas to create your own work of art.
Interesting mirrors are fun to group together to create a large piece or art. Beautiful pottery is always a good choice. One homeowner even used colorful bundt pans for a creative display. (middle left: silk roses!)

Add interest with nontraditional works or art. An antique door or shutter, architectural items or other unique collectibles make your home special. Anything that can be attached to a wall can be artwork. Grouping the objects in three or more is essential. Make sure the objects fit the scale of your room. If you have a large wall, group together three large objects or many small objects. 

. The sky is the limit.
