Tips on Decorating with Wall Art
Turn any residence into a home with dazzling wall art.
No home or apartment should suffer from barren walls.
Instead of leaving walls naked, unique and creative wall
art can grant your room a strong personality. By taking
advantage of wall decor, you can create a new identity
for your room without having to revamp your furniture
or rearrange the room at all.Framed art can easily en-
hance every room of your house. Here are some ideas
on how to use wall art to give your home an atmos-
phere that reflects your personality and style.
1. The rule of three: When you are shopping for wall art, try to find a set of work done by
the same artist in a set of three. There are a huge number of arrangements and display
schemes you can cook up with three matching pieces of framed art. Usually, the three will
have an underlying theme or been specifically designed to be displayed together.
2. Get unconventional: Usually, wall art is equated with paintings or posters, but that does-
n't always have to be the case. Try decorating with wall clocks, wall mirrors, metal wall
art, wall sculptures or canvas art. You don't need to completely shun more conventional
wall art; after all, it's popular for a reason, but don't feel limited by conventions.
3. Reflect your style: If you're going to put up wall art, chances are it is going to be there for
a good while. As such, make sure it is something you will enjoy looking at. Whether you
prefer abstract wall art, modern wall art or a more traditional look, make sure your wall
decor matches your personality. Wall art might impress and intrigue visitors, but pick out
framed art with you in mind.
4. Be size conscious: When it comes to choosing wall art, size matters. Be careful not to
overwhelm the rest of your wall decor with one especially large piece of wall art. At the
same time, make sure not to crowd any furniture you have pushed up against the wall.
Before buying wall art, measure the wall space. Imagine how you plan on hanging wall
decor before you choose the art itself.

Current Market Statistics >>>
Record Sales in July
The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark, which accounts for benchmark home prices in communities throughout the TREB market area, was up by 9.4% year-over-year in July 2015. Over the same period, the average selling price was up by a slightly greater amount, growing by 10.6% annually to $609,236. Detached homes continued to lead the way in terms of price increases, with annual growth in the average selling price outstripping growth in the MLS® HPI detached benchmark. This suggests that there continued to be a greater share of high-end homes sold this year compared to last. "With the level of inventory in the GTA trending below two months, many listings continued to generate a lot of interest from buyers. Not surprisingly, this supported further price increases well-above the rate of inflation. Assuming similar interest rate and economic environments over the next five months, strong price growth will remain the norm for the rest of 2015," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Director of Market Analysis.
