We can utilize alongside the wall of our staircase for flaunting our pieces. The subtle artworks should be in an inclined manner. This placement will show their utter beauty at the most
4. Wall Shelves
The hinged shelves are other superb replacements, for the above ideas. We can put the framed pieces on the shelves, present in our rooms. These shelves can have the same color or a contrasting color to the color of the wall. The floating shelves give a bold and beautiful look to our artworks.
