Tips for Decorating a Wall

Many people are confronted with wall spaces that are difficult to decorate. Some spaces are so large that it seems overwhelming to come up with ideas, or there are awkward architectural elements or furniture in the room.

The decorating expert in this video shows how to use family photos both old and new to decorate spaces like this. Photos that have been put away in boxes or out of sight in old photo albums are a perfect solution to decorating large, awkward spaces. She gives helpful, visual tips for using frames as a unifying element and emphasizes that frames are the first place to start when it comes to decorating and placing photograph groupings.

The first tip for choosing frames is to find a unifying element among them. They can be the same frame in different sizes, or different styles and textures in the same color, or even different colors and styles with some feature that makes them coordinate.

Other tips she gives include how to match the photos to the frames, how to subtly incorporate colors that are in the room, and how to make the photographs work with each other by printing them in black and white or changing the size. She also gives tips on arranging the frames so that the outside shape works with the space.
