Picture Perfect!
Picture this (no pun intended). You have all your family photos all over your walls. In the family room and going all the way up the stairs to the next floor. But they are all in those collage type photo frames...a bit predictable. Some can look cheap and flimsy. I always say "each photo should have it's own frame". Each photo is special and most likely of different things so why not show case them individually. You can still group them together but in clusters not in one frame. Don't limit yourself to having all the exact same frames or shapes. You can pick a colour, say espresso, gold or antique white and get a few with the same designs or mix it up. Same theme but with different detailing, maybe some 4x6 or 5x7. Depending on the photo, you can hang them horizontal or diagonal. Always at eye level (on average for someone about 5'7. Space them equally to get a clean organized feel. Once you come to a point where you know you have enough, stand back and take it all in. What a great way to enjoy your personal memories.

When adding multiple frames why going up the stairs to the next floor, go big or go home...wait it's your home hmm. Well you know what I mean. Size the frames in an 8x10 frame even if your photo is not that large. You can always find inexpensive matting that's large or wide and get the matting in the same colour (cream, white...) and it will give your pictures a great gallery feel.
