Of course you want to show off all your family photos and wall art at their best but it can be hard deciding how to arrange your various picture frames. Here are a few ideas to help you get going and achieve the house of your dreams.

Shelf them

Often, people choose to hang pictures and forget that they can get away with not putting holes in their walls if they use a shelf. A contemporary look these days is to layer up frames of varying heights and widths on a shelf, and add in a few extra little bits and pieces to really bring the shelf to life.

Create a triptych

This always looks great, no matter what subject you’ve got in your frames. This is simply a set of three associated images that are meant to be appreciated as a whole.

Different size frames

Make your display a lot more interesting by using frames of different shapes and sizes. Plan out how you want them all to go together on a piece of paper before you hang them on the wall and you’ll find this comes together quickly and easily.

Use a ladder

You don’t have to put your pictures on the walls at all if you don’t want to. Go all shabby chic and upcycle an old ladder by painting it white and placing your frames on the steps.

Don’t hang them too high

People often hang their pictures and art too high. You should try and make sure that the centre of the image is at eye level. If you’re in the living room, place them lower as people tend to sit down in this part of the house.
