Methods for hanging art and photos of any type are very similar to displaying other various collections within your home. Last week, with Ron Reinheimer's help, I discussed how collections look best when grouped together. This advise also works well for hanging art. Photos, interesting frames and works of art shouldn't be scattered throughout your home without any sense of ryme or reason. Creating a small "gallery" wall in your home is the most interesting way to hang random pieces. Break up large scale paintings or photos with smaller to medium scale items. It's also appealing when you hang various types of frames together. For instance, metal and wooden frames of any finish look interesting and create a more unique look when grouped together. Incorporating mirrors (antique or new) is a great way to break up a lot of images and add even more dimension to the wall. "Gallery" walls can be created anywhere in your home. A large foyer is the perfect place to display art and photos this way as it instantly introduces you and your personality to guests when they first enter your home. Your home office or bedroom is an ideal place to creatively display family photos and more personal pieces of art. I love to combine flea market pieces of art or old photos and frames with crisp black and white images of family and friends. See the photos below for some examples of how a "gallery" wall can work in your home too.
