Framed botanical prints are one of my favorite wall decor statements, especially when hung in a grouping of 6 or more. A larger grouping can be beautiful on a living room, dining room or foyer wall.

Building a collection of framed art pieces can get costly unless you use a designer trick and clip your images from an art book.

Oversized coffee tables books are a great resources for inexpensive artwork and there are even books on the market designed specifically with framing in mind.

Here’s a round-up of my favorite books with frame-able botanical art and some design inspiration to inspire you.

Including more than three centuries of drawings, each page explodes with rich colors and lifelike details. The images include exquisite flowers, delicate fruits, and exuberant butterfly images.

TIPS FOR CREATING A DYNAMIC BOTANICAL ART WALL

************************

♦ Use a single frame style and color to create visual consistency within the art arrangement

♦ Use a frame with simple details so the frame doesn’t compete with the images

♦ If you’re using a mat with your frames, a simple white mat will look best with most botanical images.

♦ In most cases, you want to hang your images no wider than 3 inches apart on all sides. The smaller the images, the closer the frames. The larger the images, the wider the spacing.

Happy shopping & happy decorating!

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on our spring bedroom refresh.

Today I wanted to share a little more about the beautiful prints I used in the bedroom. I knew I wanted to place a grouping of images on the wall next to the window and closet to my side of the bed. You see that wall when you enter the room so I wanted to make an impact. I also knew that whatever I hung I that wall would be hung in gold frames.

Since one of the goals for the refresh was to add more accents of gold into the space, frames were an obvious and easy solution.

All four of the prints I used are from an awesome Etsy shop called MyLoveNotedesigns. The shop is run by Christina who personally designs all of the printable art, many which contain inspirational words and positive messages. Christina opened her Etsy shop in 2014 after starting a family and leaving an accounting career and the corporate world behind. Christina said she started designing her prints as a way to inspire and remind herself of what is meaningful in life and to personally connect with others.

The collection of prints I choose to use were perfect for a bedroom space and also allowed me to add a touch of personalization into the room. The LOVE print is one of my favorite designs and gold foil is so pretty once printed. The HEART of flowers couldn’t have been more perfect for our room with a black background and pink flowers. I also choose a monogram print and love how Christina has added flowers to give the design a special touch. The last design in the group reads All Of Me Loves All Of You and I love both the message and the delicate details of the design.

Once printed, I placed each image in a Ikea frame which I spray painted gold using Rustoleum Bright Coat Spray Paint (which happens to be my favorite gold spray paint)

I’ve purchased several printable images from Etsy in the past and I must say that the collection of designs that MyLoveNotedesigns offers is one of the best. There are over 450 designs to choose from including gold foil, nursery designs, calendars, meal planners, expense trackers and weekly planners and most of the designs are $5.00 or less. And, Christina also offers custom orders if you have a specific design in mind.

Because there are so many great prints, picking your favorites will be tough but you can use my list of top 10 to help you shop…

Feather and Floral / Be Our Guest (so awesome for a guest bedroom or bath)

Home Sweet Home (great housewarming gift) / You Got This (fun print for an office)

Ampersand Floral (add this to a gallery wall arrangement) / Fox Fun (fun for a kids room)

Watercolor Feather (love this) / Family Initial (great wedding gift)

Gold foil HEART/ Love Arrow (love the chalkboard feel of this print)

MyLoveNotedesigns can be used in any room of your home and because the prints are so affordable, you can create a gallery wall arrangement with minimal investment.
