Artfully Arranged

I thought writing a post on how to hang and arrange portraits in your home, as well as framing options would be helpful. There are several great ways to group portraits together in your home. If you are not sure what is best for you here are several examples of some great ideas. The first is a group of different size prints ranging from 20"x20" down to a 3"x5" print. In this example the frames are all different but have a unifying theme with color and size.
This grouping is an example of nine frames of the same size with different size mat openings. Images in this group range from casual to formal and individuals as well as family groups.








This grouping is an example of a collection of very different images some color some B&W and a variety of sizes. The unifying theme is they all have the exact same frame.
Sometimes there are several images that we love but we can't hang all of our favorites on the wall. I always encourage people to take those few favorites and get smaller prints 5x7s or 8x10s. These are perfect for dad's office or a bedside table.

Finally, for some of our best clients, their walls are full in the living room. I often hear " I don't know where I'll put these. I don't have any wall space". I usually recommend moving some of your older images to more private spaces like a bedroom a hallway or an upstairs landing. This allows you to keep your most current images in the your most used rooms, places where you and your guests can enjoy them.
There are many ways to enjoy the images of your family for years to come. These are just a few options. In this post you can see the impact that a grouping can have in a room. These groupings range from large to small and have black, wood, silver and gold frames. No matter what your style, there is a great way to incorporate photography of your family into your home if is artfully arranged.
