There are lots of things that will help you decide the best way to arrange your picture frames such as your own preference, common sense, and the current fashions that are going around. Here are some guidelines to help you to get started.
A Sizeable Frame by Itself
When you hang a big picture all by itself, what you are really doing is simply allowing it to have the dominance and importance that it should have on the wall. Make sure you pay attention to scale; this usually can only work well using a fairly large picture frame.
Numerous Frames that are Equal in Size
Hanging pairs in a diagonal pattern with a little bit of overlap is an attractive arrangement that was popular in the mid-twentieth century, and still is now. Many folks prefer, however, for pairs of frames to be positioned symmetrically either beside one another or vertically, with one frame aligned above the other.
Clusters of Three
Groups of three frames are usually hung symmetrically, but they don’t have to be. To give an illustration, you might have three nice blue picture frames that you could hang in your kid’s room in an asymmetrical design such as an angled line, or with the two outer frames being even with each other and the middle frame being placed a little higher or lower than the other two frames. Another pleasing arrangement, depending on the wall, would be a symmetrical design with one frame hung directly above the first one and the third hung to the side of the first (like an “L” shape).

Combinations which have Four Frames or Perhaps More
Four or more picture frames of the same size are usually arranged in a line or in a block pattern, either square or rectangular. You’ll want to check out these extra tips if the picture frames you have are varying sizes rather than a set.
Making a Wall of Photos
You can mix and match various sizes and styles of frames to make a pattern on your wall that will look excellent. The frames can be the same style or united by a theme, like all black or all silver picture frames; however, these types of collections often incorporate a blend of styles and colors as well. The art displayed can be a selection of family photographs or sports paraphernalia, travel photos or a mixture of different types of art. Some photograph walls even incorporate other items like little mirrors, sconces, or other accessories.
Even though there isn’t one perfect layout for your wall of pictures, there are still a couple of guidelines you really ought to follow. Groupings appear more natural when there is randomness. Keeping this in mind, you ought to make an effort to avoid being too symmetrical but still have some symmetry- this can be done by lining up the top or the bottom of a frame with the frame next to it. Achieve balance so no one area looks too heavy or just too light by varying the frames and separating ones that have thick and thin sides. Don’t space the frames away from each other too much; usually between two and four inches apart is best. When you go much farther than this, photos will begin to look like they are by themselves.
The final thing you should remember is to maintain a general shape in your grouping- the outer edges of your frames really should form a basic symmetrical shape like a circle or a square. Picture this: if you were to sketch the shape on the wall, would all of the frames be balanced within it? If this is true then you have probably ended up with a very nice arrangement of pictures on your wall. However, you will probably neat to make some changes if it isn’t.
Just make sure that you take your time and follow these recommendations, and everybody is sure to complement you on your lovely wall arrangement.
