how about making an area that you build out the angle and make it flat to display several items or make individual built out areas just to display art or photos

Quite frankly, I don't like the idea of art hanging on a sloped wall. My mind can't get around that it is going to fall off. You could position a console against a sloped wall and lean the art pieces against it. Put the art on the walls that are not sloped and on table tops.

I like the idea of the eyelets, but I would have 4 eyelets and hang the items on the same slope as the wall.

Hanging them just off two eyelets will create strange shadows. I think you emphasize the sloping walls by hangin flush to the wall.

Nice job on the wall finish.

HI -- Love A - frames, but the sloped walls were never meant to have things hung on them. It just always looks wrong and silly. The straight internal walls is where you put your pictures etc. If you have the room , you could display a big picture on a standing easle.That is always a good look for this style of house.

I agree that I wouldn't like to see pictures hung on the walls but if you did then double French cleats would hold them solidly where you wanted them.

I'd place a sofa table behind the couch with plants and tall sculptures or pottery. I'd also replace the small table lamp with a large floor lamp.

I would hang wall sconces inbetween the beams. It would give you extra mood lighting and give texture to the room.

I like the idea of sconces. Also, I would rotate the sofa to the right so that the back isn't to the kitchen. Opens up the room.

We had a small sloped wall over a pantry door that I hung a picture with a type of hanging fixture that the piece attached to the picture slides into a piece on the wall. Used one on the top and bottom of the framed piece, and it worked great. I think I got the hardware at a frame shop.

Thank you all for your comments. I can't move the couch at all--have to have access to the slider to the deck and the view thru a wall of windows. I have one small vertical wall in each room and all the rest is slooping. I wish I had your love of A-frames Shannon. Frankly if I afford to rebuild the house I would. I guess I just love lots of stuff on the walls. I bought it because of the beautiful creek and trees and hoped I could deal with the walls. I might be able to fit a narrow table behind the couch but it would be really tight. I think I'd better focus on the beautiful view and forget the walls!! Thanks again for your help everyone.

Could you hang some art off the gallery rail above ???

Instead of hanging stuff on the walls, how about suspending 3 dimensional, artful objects close to the walls (hanging from the ceiling), such as a fabulous kite, a "Calderesque" mobile...

Why not try attaching velcro circles to the bottom corners of the art you are hanging, with the other part attached to the wall? Another alternative if the frame can use a wire hanger try placing the wire across the center instead of all the way to the top. My thought is with that configuration it should hang against the wall.

Do you have more pictures of your home? I also have a modified A-frame and am looking for ideas! I love that you have windows in your kitchen - I may have to do this myself!

I would not hang art work on sloped walls. I would either stand the art work up on a table or a shelf.

Here's a solution that works! Hang the art parallel to the wall by placing four spacers made of one inch PVC pipe (thin wall PVC) far enough away from the edges so as not to be visible. Keep the spacers in place either by drilling a small hole in the pipe and using a small finish nail, or hot glue it in place, depending on the construction of the frame. The tension between the hook, the wire the spacers and the wall caused by gravity keep the art work parallel to the wall and it looks great!

Shelves between the beams deep enough to stand the artwork on them and lean on the wall?

A fabric wall hanging on a rod can be eye catching without the insecure feeling of something falling on your head. Fold the fabric up from the bottom in a blousson fashion. (Is this the correct terminology?) Any air movement adds to the pleasure. Keep the bottom high enough over your head when seated.

The sloped walls should not have photos or art on them, they are beautiful and should remain the beauty in the room. I would use the hallway or fireplace hearth to display photos and artwork.

The OP thanked everyone back in May of 2012, and decided not to do anything.

Points well taken regarding the original post. We moved into an A frame three months ago which was built in the mid '70's. Our walls are simple drywall, not beautiful natural wood. The method I described above has allowed us to decorate as one normally might if the walls weren't sloped. I have several photos showing how great it looks, including one of the spacers attached to the back. Can't seem to attach them. Any suggestions? This is the only thread addressing this issue I could find on line.

You might want to post as a Before and After with your instructions. Usually you comment and use the Photo button below the comment box to attach pix you have on your computer (I usually put them on my desktop to move to Houzz.)
