How to Decorate With Silk Flower Wall Hangings

Hang silk wall hangings where there is enough wall space to provide a border of at least 6 inches of blank wall on each side. This avoids a crowded effect on the wall. Arrange a series of flower hangings, if desired, such as three different kinds of flowers or the same flower in different colors. Hang wall hangings so the center of the art is at eye level.

Hold a wall hanging against the wall so that the middle of it is at eye level. Mark the wall in pencil at the top of the hanging and at each end of the rod, if the hanging has a rod at the top. Screw in a hook or install a bracket at each pencil mark to hold the wall hanging.

Add accessories to the room to pick up colors in the flowers and borders of the silk hangings. For example, add red vases and a red area rug to complement red chrysanthemums in the wall hangings.

Group silk flower wall hangings in the bedroom for a romantic effect. Make the bed in solid colors that go with the hangings, such as cream sheets and pillowcases that match the background color and a red throw or comforter cover to go with red flowers.

Drape a color-coordinated dresser scarf over a chest of drawers, headboard or dresser to add an accent color from the silk flower wall hangings, such as a color from the border or secondary flowers in the design. Using accessories to play off the colors in the hangings gives the room a harmonious design, so the hangings complete the room and belong there.
