Decorate With Photos

Hang-a-Picture can be a fun, personal way to fill wall space. But many of us don't know how to do it.

Steps

  1. Pick aDecorate-a-Kid's-Room-Without-Painting. Everything doesn't have to match, but there should be a unifying aspect. Group pictures of your family or friends,Take-Black-&-White-Photos-With-a-Digital-Camera shots, Shoot-Slide-Film-Nature-Photography, or place mismatched photos in identical frames.
  2. Find a shape. Paint a shape (Draw-a-Circle, cross, triangle, or diamond) on the wall and hang all the pictures inside.
  3. Form a band. Paint a three-foot-high stripe on the wall, four feet off the floor. Hang-a-Picture inside.
  4. Keep it close. Leave one to three inches between each frame.
  5. Color a wall. Black-and-white shots look best on a colored wall. Color photos look best if the wall color doesn't match

Tips

  • The great thing about hanging a picture is that it's not permanent. If you don't like it, you can change it.
  • Never put up a picture of yourself that you don't like, you have to look stunning or you will not enjoy it.
