Idea Gallery: Wall Decor Above the Sofa

When it comes to thinking of fresh new ideas for wall decor above the sofa, it's easy to get stumped on anything other than a single piece of art or a large mirror...especially if your sofa is against a large wall with tons of extra space. I've run into this challenge in my own home and decided to search high and low for ideas that are a outside the box. One of my favorites would be decorative wallpaper that's interesting enough to stand on it's own or a series of small prints stacked above one another. What do you have going on above your sofa?

Turn Paper Clutter into Art

Happy Friday! I'm planning on doing some serious cleaning and organizing this weekend around my apartment and home office. Always on the look-out for creative ways to store & display paperwork, photos, etc., I found some great ideas for organizing cards, invitations, reminders, etc., that don't involve a giant cork board or refrigerator! I do love cork boards but they can get messy and cluttered very quickly. These ideas are especially handy for the upcoming Christmas season where you'll have invites, holiday cards, shopping lists, etc., etc., that will need a home (and not on the fridge!). Enjoy and have a lovely weekend :)

Not Your Grandma's Wall Tapestries...

I love visiting the Rug Company website from time to time for inspiration. They offer such innovative and gorgeous collections of rugs, pillows, and wall hangings and have a wonderful roomsets and inspiration gallery. I rounded up some fantastic wall tapestries that are a refreshing new take on the heavy old traditional tapestries one might envision when hearing the word! Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!
