WALL ART - VMWK STYLE
Talk to any interior designer and they’ll tell you the importance of using wall art to decorate your home and personal spaces. Too often art is considered as an afterthought but, if chosen thoughtfully, wall art can really elevate a room to “wow” status! Wall art can provide that all important focal point to draw the eye and even inspire a color palette to set the tone of the room or how it feels. Whether it’s a single piece above the master bed or a gallery wall in the living area, wall art brings visual weight to your spaces and can become a fascinating talking point. But, most importantly, wall art will complete the look of the room and create a sense of integrity. Interior designers contend that wall art is to a room what lipstick is to a flawless outfit…. the perfect finishing touch! And we agree! It’s important to choose art that you love or that holds a special meaning to you (after all, you will be looking at it day in and day out for some time!). So, go for themes that inspire you or your passions - travel, family, landscapes, favorite places, abstract forms, treasured moments in time – the options are endless! While it’s a great idea to choose art that “speaks” to you and your style or the feeling you would like to set for the room, size is also of vital consideration. Wall art that is too small will be dominated by the surrounding furniture and wall art that is too big will drown out any other features of the room (check out our “7 easy steps for how to hang your Wall Art” blog under our Get Inspired menu).

HOW TO PLACE (AND STICK) YOUR BLOCKS ONTO THE WALL
Simple steps to transform your wall space
Detailed information can be found in our blog 7 EASY STEPS FOR HOW TO HANG YOUR PHOTO WALL ART!
But ... basically you need to decide on the following:
Where? – You are limited only by your imagination
(and the number of photos you have!)
Take into consideration:
- Size (proportion to the space),
- Placement (within the room),
- Scale (comparison to other items),
- Height (comparison to seated or standing viewing),
- Layout (symmetry v asymmerty, horizontal v vertical)
How? Step by step!
- Ensure your wall surface is clean (wipe gently, let completely dry)
- Measure and find the centre of the wall, both vertical and horizontal direction
Hint* place a small mark for reference - Decide how much gap you would like between each block.
We recommend between 0.5cm (0.19 inches) to 1.5cm (0.59 inches). Definitely depends on the wall space available.
Hint* The larger the gap the more individual each block will appear. - Gather all your equipment. We recommend: all your photo blocks (of course), 3M Command stickers, a Level, measuring tape/ruler,
pencil and perhaps something to use as a guide for your gaps.
Hint* a pencil or tile spacer is an easy way to ensure consistency or ... gather someone who is patient, kind and detail orientated to help you!! Or, someone to take photos of you doing this task just for amusement sake, you can then send it to us and support other wall art junkies in their quest for wall art perfection :)
- Lay your photo blocks on the floor (image up) in front of the wall where you intend to hang them
Hint* keep them in the correct design order. - We recommend using the 3M Velcro Picture Hanging strips. Each small strip holds 1.8kg, therefore, weight is not going to be an issue (even the heaviest VM Wall Art block weighs less that 0.5kg). However, we do recommend having 2 x 3M strips for each block, purely for the sake of balance and stability.
Hint* remove stickers from the packet and Velcro the two sides of each strip together to form one piece. This will assist you in the next stage.
DO NOT REMOVE BACKING STRIP AT THIS STAGE!! - Flip your photo blocks over to reveal the back side. At VM we have found that placing one strip on the 1/8 mark and another at the 7/8 mark of the block gives the most stability when adhered to the wall.
3M Command recommend having the pull slip in a vertical position facing down (for easy removal). We haven’t found that to be an issue, as pulling the slip in a horizontal direction is just as easy, but we leave that to your own discretion.
- Peel the backing sheet off the sticker and start placing your first block in the middle of the wall design. Continue by moving either side until one row is completed, then move onto the next row, above and below as required for your design.
Hint* use the Level and ruler as much as possible (especially while securing the first row. Precision here will ensure a straight outcome.
Super handy hint*
A great tip to keep in mind is to use waxed dental floss or fishing line to ‘saw’ through (between the wall and the strip) if the tab has been snapped off or strip cannot be stretched flat to the wall when removing. Prising or pulling at the strip forwards or at an angle can cause damage to walls and paint.
