Learning to Lean…..Creating Vignettes
I have learned to lean, and I love it…….
….maybe because I have rented for so long and fear of damaging a wall I have leaned pictures and mirrors against the wall instead of hanging them. It could also be a lack of furniture. As an expat living overseas living in a rented space could mean you do not have much furniture. I have come to love this look of creating a *vignettes to display my favorite things, things I feel define who I am.
This is a great way to add layers of interest to your home. A *vignettes can tell a story, have a common collection or just be things that are important to you. Try it, you will be surprised how it makes your home feel.
Wishing you a happy home,
The Rented Home

What a great post. I have never thought of it as “leaning” and will look at creating vignettes in a new light. I live in an apartment which I dearly love because I got tired of the upkeep of a house (I am a single woman). Now I just pick up the phone. Love that. But back to nail holes in the wall, I am so guilty of this. So in the future, I will try to think of ways to display my framed loves in a leaning manner.
I am so glad you found some inspiration on creating different ways to display your framed loves!
It really does create a more cozy atmosphere and keeps the decor very grounded.
Kindest regards,
