Have a lot of frames that don’t have a home? You are not alone. Many people love to take pictures and take the time to mount them, but never hang them in their home. Why waste these perfectly good pictures and artwork, make a collage wall and see what happens. Photos lined up on the floor or in a closet does do the artwork any good. Why not take it out and display it on a wall in a collage.
My family wall had family members near and far from special times in their lives. I had pictures of my kids and posters framed of my dad’s favorite things.
Tips on how to make your theme wall.
Here are some tips on hanging wall collage themes.
Group picture frames in odd numbers 3 5 7 etc.…
Add objects that will help complete the theme. I added a cross for my faith wall above. You can use rub-on inspiring words.
Place frames closer together when usual and see how that looks. Trying to get picture frames leveled with one another takes some time, and usually, you need a laser level to make sure you have a straight line from one picture frame to another. I prefer to make them completely not leveled, so I don’t have to worry about the picture frames lining up.
Uniform in frame colors look nice but not necessary. I like to keep the frames similar but not the same. I also have a few textured frames, so it draws attention to them.
The collage can be any shape you want. If you have stairs, a collage going down the stairs is beautiful. If you have a high wall, you can create a form like a clock or a heart and use the frames to make the shape. It doesn’t have to be square because you have square frames or rectangle because you have rectangle frames.
Frames can be expensive, so go to a yard sale and buy vintage older picture frames and spray paint them the same color to make them uninformed on the wall.
