In a hallway, Martha has an interesting take on near reflective symmetry – here the photographs share black frames in different sizes. Notice the mix of black and white frames in different sizes and that one black mat thrown into the mix, all of it hung on a blue painted plank wall – lovely. It took some thought to achieve the look, but I love how this display keeps your eye moving around and yet it is still so well balanced. This image has been seen by many, but it’s still one of my favorites. Showcase your favorite vacation, your wedding, silly faces, your family members, whatever is meaningful. The best part about a gallery like this is you can change out the photos as you please since photography enlargements are so affordable.
The bigger frames and mats are an investment but worth it, the look is timeless.
Symmetry is the easiest look to pull off, just gather up the same size frames in a grid – bonus points for large off-center mats, and then hang your favorites in a series. I’m a big believer in “bigger is better, make a statement!” when it comes to displaying photographs, and you cannot go wrong with black and white – they are undeniably classic and oh so sophisticated when gathered in a group on display.įor her hallway, I suggested four extra large black frames and white mats with their darling faces enlarged and all four hung in a grid or a simple hallway collage like this one I created for another friend years ago.īut it got me thinking…beyond the hallway, there are multiple ways to display black and white photographs, it just depends on the space and whether you prefer a more eclectic and asymmetric display, or if you favor a symmetric or streamlined look.
I met a friend at her house a few weeks ago, she has four cute kids and an empty hallway, and she was asking what to do with the “blankness” of it all.
