Introduction
Hanging art can completely transform the feel of a room—but do you assume it has to be framed to look stylish?
In fact, there are plenty of lovely ways to display art without a frame!
From ideas that don't damage your walls to displays that play with depth, here are some stylish ways to enjoy your art even more!
Frame-Free Fun! Casual Ways to Display Art
Stick It Up Casually with Washi Tape or Pins
Sticking art straight onto the wall with washi tape or pins lets you enjoy it freely, no frame required!
Washi tape comes in a wide range of colors, so you can coordinate it to match the mood of each piece.
Make Use of Clipboards and Binders
Clip your art into a clipboard or binder and hang it on the wall!
Pieces are easy to swap out, so you can change them to suit your mood. A natural wooden clipboard or an industrial metal one adds even more character!
Mount It on a Wood Panel or Board
Mounting art on a wooden panel or board creates a warm, natural display.
If you'd rather not put holes in the wall, simply leaning the whole board against it is a great option too!

Add Depth! Layered Displays
Layer Pieces of Different Sizes
Layering works of varying sizes creates a display with real depth.
Placing a smaller piece in front of a larger one draws the eye and gives the whole arrangement a polished feel!
Combine with Objects and Greenery
Rather than displaying art on its own, pairing it with houseplants or small décor looks wonderful too!
Set a little potted plant beside a piece, or display it alongside dried flowers, to create a naturally inviting space.
3 Creative Display Ideas!
Hang It from a Curtain Rail
Suspending art with cord or wire creates a natural look—and won't damage your walls!
Combine with Wall Stickers
Boost the design even without a frame! Styling the wall together with the artwork makes it far easier to bring out a stronger atmosphere and sense of world.
Pair It with Lighting
You can also use light to make art stand out!
It's fun to play with indirect lighting or dedicated picture lights and find the perfect way to illuminate each piece!

Framing is far from the only way to display art! From wall stickers and lighting to simply leaning a piece against the wall, there are all kinds of display ideas to explore.
Casual, frameless approaches and techniques that don't damage your walls are especially great for enjoying art with ease! They give your whole interior a noticeably more stylish look, too!
By enjoying art more freely, you can shape the mood of your room to truly reflect you.
We hope you'll find the perfect way to display art in your own space!
