art wall styling

i've been veeeeery inspired by pinterest lately and many new art wall styling pins. i went through a phase where i was wall art styled out, if you know what i mean. it seemed cluttered and heavy and overdone. so in turn i paired down my apartment walls to a more minmalist style, only hanging pieces that i was really drawn to.

but a few of the pins below are tempting me back, to the well styled art wall...
