Strength in Numbers

When you have a collection of photos, artwork and other special items to display, how can you get the most impact from them? Framing them is a great way to emphasize these pieces, while protecting them at the same time. The design options with custom framing are virtually endless. Depending on your personal tastes, you can have the items framed in a coordinated fashion for a matching, streamlined collection, or if your style is more eclectic, you can create a grouping with differing frame styles. Custom framing enables you to personalize the designs to get just the look you want.
Groupings can consist of a variety of subjects such as maps, family photos, vintage plates or maybe even a Mardi Gras wall. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
A grouping can work well in your home or office, whether you have a large wall you’d like to fill or a smaller area that you’d like to cozy up with several related pieces. Hallways and stairwells are also great places to hang groupings. These transitional areas can be used to connect larger, adjacent areas. A collection of framed artwork and photos will do wonders to personalize these spaces.
One of the biggest decorating mistakes often made is hanging small artwork above large furniture such as a sofa or bed. Since large pieces of art can be expensive, one way to overcome this is by grouping several pieces of art together. Paintings may be grouped vertically, horizontally or within the shape of a square or rectangle.
