...as the "art" on your walls?
Do you group the photos in themes, ie - sunset? beach? autumn?
And the frames?
All the same size or mix it up a bit ~ some distressed or with small embellishments?
I plan on using 4x6 or 5x7 photos.
I got the idea from our medical clinic.
One of the DR's travels and in the exam rooms, there are gorgeous photos of his travels. |

this is my current wall in my living room... all a mix of finishes (canvas, print, mounted print), different size and lots of variety in the frames. It adds alot of dimension.

Right now my house is pretty non-decorated. But in the past I tend to mix it up as far as content. Frame choices are based on what looks good in any particular room. So, no hard rules of how to do it. |

Whatever you like!
In one room I use photo ledges. Since I take a lot of photos, I just mat them and then change them with the seasons or whenever I feel like it. I usually go with a theme - winter scenes, family, flowers, etc. I don't even use frames there.
You might think "unity with variation." For example, frames all the same color, but different designs. Or different frames, but the photos all of a similar subject. Or all different subjects but all frames the same size.
But really, it is whatever looks pleasing to you! |

on the stairs and in the upstairs hallway, everything is in black frames, in the downstairs hallway from the foyer I have more "formal" pics but they are in a range of goldish tones and gold and black frames to tie into the staircase frames
I also really like the look of white frames on a brightly colored wall | |

Mix it up ... but make sure to do a trial with some construction paper cut to size. You might find 4x6 and 5x7 very limiting once they're actually up on the wall!
If I want to go smaller, I tend to print several 4x6 or 5x7 shots in a series and line them up on a bookshelf in a mix of little frames. I wouldn't actually hang anything smaller than an 8x10, though. Personal preference.

I have mine like a gallery.. all the frames are black but different sizes. I think everyone has ideas and you just find what you like...
I mix some of my buidlings or flowers right in with my kids or family... |

It is my desire to learn more about photography everyday.
I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it. | |
