storage of art my personal tips.

 Having a rather huge art collection nowdays i can tell you looking after it can be quiet the storage drama . I have all my own paintings and sketches that i have kept dating back to the age of five did i not mention i was a child prodigy way before it was trendy.lol  Not to mention also having being a lover of art in general i have purchased many of my favourite artists works over the years . Yes its quiet out of control . While you may just have a few that dont quiet suit your current day core or you have been hit with the minimal trend etc . I will give you some of my best tips . Of course firstly all my collection is insured but that means nothing to me if say my house burnt down its totally irreplaceable .

tip one ..................art is always best hung on walls , yours or other family or close friends houses . mine is well spread out for its safety in case of a break in or fire .My families walls all look amazing . Art should be enjoyed !!!!!!

tip two ................. consider a hallway or a spare room and install a hanging system that can enable you to hang lots even on top of each other i can go at least three down a wall . Also if using a spare room please air it regularly and use mold inhibitors . make it a space that is not seen as much and clutter it up in just one area . Ps it can also look amazing if done with an artistic eye.

tip three ................A spare wardrobe is also killer for storage and yes its not just for dresses. wrap art up with either blankets and bubble wrap but please make sure the bubble is long lasting and not the bio degradable type . This will insure ease with rotation of your art collection . again always use mold inhibitors in the wardrobe .

most importantly rotate ! rotate . change your paintings around for a really fresh look . Its also means the art is not staying on the same wall for years as the back of canvas need air aswell . So happy collecting everyone .x
