If you have a lot of art: paintings, drawings etc. HOW do you enjoy them?
For a long time I couldn't afford much art. So I always framed it right away and hung it up. But, the walls are a little crowded now. Considering a system where I rotate the art every half year? Seasonally? I would also have a designated closet spot for art that isn't hanging.
Anyone do this?
If you must know, yes it's almost all ants. But you knew that part.
@futurebird Have you tried storing your paintings on every possible wall, in a stack in your office, behind the TV, in the storage room, four deep on a shelf, under the bed, and at your sister's house? Those are all the places my wife is keeping art.

This is the "book situation" around here not there with the art... yet...

I've read a lot of interior design advice about how to display framed art. How to hang it at the right height, size, how it fits in the room. Good stuff.
The popular advice even suggests "get art that you care about, avoid mass produced generic prints" but *none* of that advice says anything about managing a modest "collection" they all talk about art like its disposable and as if you'd get rid of art you aren't using. (like it's some generic mass produced print
)@futurebird Are you able to put up picture rails near the ceiling so you can then hang pictures from wires and swap easily?

I mean... we own the place so we could, but I was just going to Spackle and put up hooks as always.

I don't think we have enough walls for this to make any sense.
