Think balance. Your grouping should be scale-appropriate to your space and its furnishings. |
|
|
| |
 |
Choose your frames and images. Technology offers infinite possibilities for cropping or enlarging images so they'll fit a favorite frame. You can also turn color prints into black and white images for a bold statement. Frame mats will add a professional, finished look. |
|
| |
 |
Arrange your frames. Place your frames on the floor in front of the wall, starting with the middle frame and working outward. |
|
| |
 |
Check your spacing. Frames can touch, or space them one to three inches apart. Experiment with vertical and horizontal placement of the same size frame. |
|
| |
 |
Create paper templates. To simplify hanging, use the frames you've laid out as a guide, and tape your templates to the wall. |
|
| |
 |
Work from bottom to top. If you're hanging frames over a piece of furniture, six to eight inches from the piece is a good place to start. |
|
| |
 |
Step back. View your grouping from a variety of angles. Then replace your paper templates with the actual frames. |

Use wall shelves to display prints or frames. It allows you freedom to rearrange and add to your display without having to re-hang individual pictures. |

Lining a hallway with frames can create a gallery-like
feel and create interest in an otherwise humble, functional space. |
|
| |
| • |
Lean or stack frames against the wall underneath the arrangement for a work-in-progress look. |
