When putting together any room you want to consider items that you can group together to create a "unit" or a grouping, rather than just putting a few pictures up on the wall.
BEFORE
This bedroom was newly moved into and had nothing
hanging on the walls.
AFTER
Notice the 3 groupings in this photo:
1. The nightstand has a lamp, a vase of flowers and a crystal clock, as well as a piece of art right above the lamp. This makes it's own group.
2. Above the bed we placed a mirror with a collection of small oval frames. This grouping is just the right scale to fit above the bed, and helps to make the bed a nice focal point. The gold color of all of the pieces really tie it together.
3. On the right of the bed is a small roll top desk, with a lamp, a couple of books and an oval frame. The large rose photo in the center balances out the weight of the desk.
These groupings helped to create balance around the room and are so much more interesting than just hanging up a few pictures.
Take a look around your room and see what you can group together!

We moved into our bedroom 18 months ago, and there's still nothing on the walls.
