Creating a Personal Wall Display |
-
Plan your frame display before placing the first nail in the wall by either arranging the frames on the floor or using paper on the wall before hanging.
-
Ensure balance between your wall and the frame display. Smaller frames create more impact when grouped while a large frame creates more impact standing alone.
-
Design your own custom wall display by using frames of various shapes and sizes. Add interest by hanging frames both vertically and horizontally.
-
Frames should be hung at eye level, usually around five feet from the floor. If you have higher than average ceilings, place the frames higher.
-
Ensure balance by keeping your arrangement centered horizontally along the wall.
-
Experiment with a mixture of black and white and color photographs to create more interest in your display.
-
With a little work and some imagination anyone can create an interesting display.

Hang frames using the angle of your staircase. Create a focal point by placing a larger frame in the center and arranging the smaller frames around it.

Above Furniture Gallery
Above furniture, select an assortment of frames within the measurements of your furniture. To create a balance around a large focal point, choose the largest frame for the center and evenly distribute smaller assorted frames on either side.

Wall Gallery
Hang three equal-sized large frames in the middle of your display. Border the larger frames with smaller ones to make the center frames the focal point. To create balance, align the tops, bottoms and sides of the frames.
