In my previous posts about framing options and boxframes I mentioned a “wall collection” of photographs. Also knows as picture galleries or feature walls, wall collections are clusters of images grouped together to create a focal point of interest.

It can be a gallery of identically sized images or a mix of items of various shapes and sizes, a symmetrical arrangement or a grouping of small scale photos around a bold piece. Your creativity is unlimited! The trick is to use similarly coloured frames or mouldings. It works with canvases too.

Interior designers love wall collections and frequently share them in Ideal Home, Living etc., Inside Out and other publications. I have prepared several tear sheets from interior design magazines to boost your imagination but you are welcome to look through your own magazines for inspiration.
