Expert Advice on Hanging Picture Frame Wall Groupings

Creating gallery walls or wall groupings can be a great project to interject some excitement into your home. If you have enough artwork or photographs to create a gallery wall, use this as an opportunity to be playful by mixing picture frame styles and colors, if you wish.

1. Decide on the look you want to achieve. Do you want all the frames to match each other in style or do you want to create an eclectic mix of colors, styles and textures?

2. Gather all the framed pieces and trace the outline of each frame onto pieces of kraft paper.

3. Tape the pieces of kraft paper to the wall and play around with the arrangement until it looks balanced or fits the look you are trying to achieve. This will save you the time and frustration of putting a ton of nail holes into the walls, only to want to move the piece around later.



4. Once the layout is the way you like, start placing the nails into the wall, leaving the kraft paper up as a template as you go. When all the nails have been positioned, remove the kraft paper and hang your art!

5. Admire your handy work.
