What Houzz contributors are saying:
Work a wallPicture shelves that have a lip to hold the images in place or grooves to position them in – or both – are designed for leaning. But why not follow the example of this living space, where the arrangement’s continued at floor level with a grouping where there’s no shelf? The result is an individual feature wall that can be reworked as the mood grabs. With so many pictures on show, copying this idea of sticking to a monochrome display is a good discipline, so the parts work as a whole. Failing that, consider matching just the colour of the frames instead.
Prop on a ledgeA picture ledge allows you to rearrange a display or photos or artworks whenever the fancy takes you. Grouping together similar pictures – like this collection of black-framed monochrome photos – works particularly well when displaying them on a ledge. These homeowners have even made use of the floor, with prints casually propped up against the wall.
Mount on whitePhotographic works provide the perfect opportunity to get creative with framing, owing to the wide range of crops and sizes at which they can be printed, from portrait to landscape to square and beyond. Whether your works are monochrome, colour or even a combination of both, the crisp edges of a photograph lend themselves exceedingly well to a clean, white mount that will separate the work from the frame and add impact. The bold arrangement of works shown here appears unified from afar, but on closer inspection we can appreciate the variations in size, frame and tone of each individual work. Propping up an array of petite snapshots like this creates a strong and versatile look that you can swap around as and when desired.
What Houzzers are commenting on:
stack photos on floating shelves, maybe even Kaia's art work on a wall in the kids' zone. ?
