my daughter did one. Suggested to pick the center and put your 1st there and use all sizes and shapes and try NOT to make it symmetrical and perfect bc then you will see the imperfections.
Mine look the same, which is so disappointing! I'd like to know as well.
Why not put up a couple long shelves. Paint the frames all one color or get similar frames. Then just place the pictures on the shelves.

Use museum wax to keep them from moving around.
Hanging art is an art of its own! To get the best results, you shouldn't really want to switch them around randomly. I generally find a group of pictures that "go" in a certain area and then play with a layout by putting them flat on the floor. Generally, you should try to create an even grid from the outside edges of the frames - example one large square or rectangle formed by the group.
Here are some places with advice:

IF you really want to switch them around, I think the shelf idea may work best.

Lay them out on the floor first to get the look you are satisfied with. I would use similar frames. I think if you have to many different styles of frames your eye looses focus. The bottom of the frame should be 60 inches from the floor. Hope this helps you
