We just painted and redesigned this Family Room.
It needed to have something larger to put on this wall --- so we decided to take a number of smaller items and create a grouping.
Here is the BEFORE --- the wall that the grouping is now on
is where the entertainment center is in this photo.
AFTER ---
We took out a number of items and decluttered. The paint really added some warmth.
See how nice the grouping works on the right wall.
It feels like a whole different room!
When you need to fill a larger space on a wall, it works to take a number of framed photos and artwork or other items of interest and place them together as a group rather than spread them across the wall.
With this group we added a wreath which is more 3 dimensional and adds some texture and interest. We also found two metal frames that had similar design.
I layed them out on the floor and tried different arrangements. Once I decided on the one I liked the best we just hung it on the wall!
Try GROUPINGS when you need to fill a larger space rather than placing one framed picture on the wall or trying to spread out a few that are just too small.

Just a quick BEFORE and AFTER
The Brown wall BEFORE
We changed it up a bit by adding a shelf.Notice the same family photo, but now with a few more details and interesting items.
We created somewhat of a theme based around a family vacation and items that they brought home. The fabric really adds a homey feel. Also notice how we have different heights on the shelf. And see how just propping up some framed photos works very nicely.

Consider hanging your family photos in a grouping on the wall with a few other items.
BEFOREThis is a very usual way of hanging up family photos---lining them across the wall.
AFTERBut when we mix them in with the curio cabinet that also has some family photos and a larger wall clock, it creates a "unit" --- and a nice even weight to the wall.
Look around your house and see what creative ways you can display your family photos!

This wall had just been painted a beautiful warm gold, so the BEFORE was a blank wall. I wanted to show you how we created a very inviting arrangement of photos on the wall.Notice these simple tips:
- All of the these frames are the same style (these are for 8x10 photos)
- The spacing between each of the frames is uniform -- (about 2 inches).
- We created a grouping by adding an ornamental iron rod and a wooden plaque at the top.
So as you look at the wall---you have a pleasing "unit" or grouping. Give this a try next time you are wanting to hang photos.
