ART THAT LIGHTS YOUR HEART

For many renters, being able to hang as much art as you want is often top of the homeowning lust list – but renting doesn’t have to mean completely putting these desires on hold. Your landlord may agree to a few nail or perhaps there’s a picture rail you can make use of. If those aren’t options, get creative and lean a large frame against a wall. Either way, bringing in a bit of art – something that lights you up every time you see it – is worth pursuing. You don’t need to spend a fortune, check out second-hand frames (charity shops are good for this) and acrylic frames for large prints, or buy a large poster print.
