1) The use of single words of expression, are very flexible, to include in many decorating applications. Single, decorative wall word art, is being used alone, in a wall grouping and in word groups. One of my favorite wall arrangements that is perfect for word art, is in a group of family and friend photos. Other wall groupings may include framed art, wall shelves or wrought iron. The photo wall example to the right, shows the beginning of a photo wall with word art to accent. I started by placing the family word art piece at the center of my work area and, then, started working my way out. Keep the group at a comfortable eye level for the most viewing enjoyment.

Another great area for single words is above your kitchen cupboards, along the narrow wall space that extends to the ceiling. Consider using words, intermingled with small, decorative plates or greenery garlands.

Some spots may only require the use of one word to get your mood across. In the foyer, mount the single word welcome or family. The area above a door or window would be perfect for a single piece of word art. Place a word above a mirror, over the bathroom toilet, above your bedroom nightstand, along a short hallway, above your bar, by the fireplace--get the idea? Word wall art is apprpriate anywhere. Single word art is popular in wood and metal. You can get it in script styling or block letters in a variety of colors. Just a note, if you do not find the color you want, you may spray paint metal or wood easily.

2) Word Art can be incorporated into a very upscale, trendy home by using framed word wall art. A traditional, trendy wood frame will turn your word art quote or verse into a work of art.

4) Vinyl word wall art, is an entire new industry that has sprung up due to the popularity of word art. This is a quick, easy way to personalize and creates a very professional, artistic feel to the room. The quotes are laid out for you, but you can get very creative by cutting the quote to place it on multiple lines or it may be applied to a circular area by cutting apart. It is very easy to apply. Just peel off the protective paper and stick to the surface it is to be applied to. Once you have it centered and lined up the way you want, just take a smooth stick to rub over all the letters to make it adhere to your wall or other surface. Slowly peel off--and wow--you have it, a handpainted, personalized piece of wall decor.

5)Another entire look that has become popular for word art, is decorative word wall plates. The most popular plate styles have been made of ceramic or wood. Here again, you may hang a single decorative plate or they are fun to hang in groups. Plates are also great when displayed on an easel and placed on a tabletop. They will add a special, little touch anywhere in your home.

Decorative plates have been an extremely popular gift item too--they add a personal touch to your present.

Decorative plates may be displayed alone on a small wall space or along the space above your kitchen cupboards. Plates with uplifting words or quotes could be hung with a grouping of photos. Hang one or a pair beside a mirror or above a wall shelf.
