With years of experience come several rules when it comes to hanging pictures. Do not hang pictures in all of the walls unless you've always yearned to live in an art gallery so keep in mind that hanging a picture on the wall is ideal when the wall seems bare without one. Every time you hang a picture it is a good idea to do so over a sofa, in groups, over a server, a small pier table, or a console.
But here's another rule. The furniture under the groupings should always be the one which is wider. If your pictures vary in size then you should hang them close together in order to achieve a unified look. Considering a prized collection of bird prints you may have one with different sized frames in varying types. Avoid hanging them frame by frame and instead do so applying the concept of pleasing geometrics.
There is a third rule. What the wall does as a frame is to serve to set off a group of pictures on all four sides even with pictures hung in close proximity. The formation of a square or a rectangle is considered when pictures are hung in pleasing geometry. If you have four pictures all framed alike and of the same size, my personal choice would be to hang them geometrically in a square over the sofa, or in a straight line over a long table, or vertically above a small step table. Using the step pattern to hang pictures is ideal for staircases. Whenever you can go for straight lines that meet at right angles. It's one of the few times I like a little regimentation in my design.
Consider having a series of ever changing pictures accumulated over a lifetime, ones with varying sizes and subjects that come to include old family portraits, prints, reproductions, and originals. When you plan on hanging these together you should consider framing and matting everything alike for unification. Gold frames were used for 16 prints and a friend matted these in forest green. As they were set against a red wall the look was marvelous. When it came to adding color a friend matted each picture over her sofa a unique shade. For the pictures here they were of the same size as well as of the same subject.
Have you ever stared at a department store model room and wondered what was missing? When it comes to someone ever sleeping, eating, living, and taking phone calls in that room there are no signs present. What is missing is individuality. Display yours in your home.
With the department store model furniture can be sold but when it comes to your home it serves to provide you with comfort and pleasure. What matters here is that you use a color you like. The room's mood can easily be affected by the color you choose. When it comes to colors these carry different emotions. You should probably go and take a look at some color charts until you find colors that you are drawn to for your space. You will never go wrong if you consider you individual choice.
