Picture Frame Wall

Do you have a wall in your home or apartment that is either small or awkward and not in such great shape? You would love to put up some artwork but nothing ever seems to fit quite right? Have you ever considered a frame collection? They are perfect for that small awkward niche that might normally be overlooked or you can take it to the other extreme and make it into the focal point of a room on a larger wall.

Your first step is to decide if you would prefer something more grid like and structured or free flowing and organic. Grid layouts work really well when you have multiple frame sizes. Whether you are hanging in a group or a row, just make sure each frame edge will line up with the frame next to it. Pay attention to where the hanging height of the frame will be because not all frames are the same. It is a good idea to have your largest and most noticeable frame in the middle and let the other frames branch out off of it. A good distance between the frames is 2-4 inches. For the smaller frames stay closer to the 2 inches and the 4 inches for the larger.

If you are using all black frames it could be a bit startling on a white wall. If the wall is not too large you might want to consider painting the wall a dark color. Two great options are a dark grey and a cerulean blue. Both will leave you with a very sophisticated look.

Good Luck Hanging!
