Composition, Style, Theme, and Color


A grouping of pictures becomes a focal point in your room, so play it up. Select pictures that have a common theme. One popular theme is subject matter while another might be based on color. Style and composition will provide continuity. You wouldn't group three abstract paintings in steel frames with reproductions of old master paintings in ornate gold-leaf frames.

This is a fantastic use of a small amount of wall space - and the white on white frame designs really seems to open things up! Plus, it totally disguises the thermostat hanging right in the center :-) Smart thinking! Have you worked to camouflage an unsightly alarm or thermostat with a grouping of custom framed art before?!?

Fashion and design sketches

This symmetrically hung grouping of fashion design sketches would work in any space that needs a feminine touch. The frames are all of equal proportion, but the different finishes add interest and would allow the grouping to blend with an array of styles. Is there a fashonista in your life who would love these?

Frame your favorite song

Is there a particular song that's especially meaningful to you? If so, take a sheet of music from that tune and print it in a large size to create a powerful piece of personal artwork. Have it custom framed in a simple frame, such as this lovely water gilded cap frame, and hang it in a place of prominence. Not only will it be a conversation starter, but you'll also be reminded of a special song every time you see it!

Perfect Framing

When you carefully choose the perfect framing for your art, you can help it look its best on your wall. In this example, the black moulding creates a sharp focus so the bold rug below doesn't distract from the art. The scale of the frame helps this pair of paintings fit the space.
