Your Living Room Gallery

Create a personal gallery by displaying frames of varying shape and size. Plan the layout of your frames before hanging, either with Kraft paper on the wall or by arranging them on a workspace or floor.

Ensure your frame arrangement is horizontally centred on your wall space to create balance. To create an interesting gallery effect, visit a local copy centre or use your home computer to change favourite colour photos to black-and-white or sepia-toned images. Hang frames in both horizontal and vertical orientations to add interest. Achieve the proper balance between your wall space and the frames. Smaller frames have more impact when grouped together; a large frame may stand alone. Place your frames at eye level, usually five feet from the floor. Hang them higher if your room has high ceilings.
