Insider Insight: How to arrange pictures on a wall
Create a focal point

When you're designing a gallery wall or want to hang a number of pictures on the same wall, it is important to choose which piece is going to be the prime focus, so that you can easily decide on how to arrange the other pieces around it.
It is important to have a common theme throughout the prints or artworks. The easiest way to do this is to have a common color in each piece.
Build a grid

For a minimalist, highly ordered home, arranging your gallery wall in a grid format will be a good choice. As Framebridge's Kacey Embry states, "If you lean towards a more organized style, a grid arrangement is going to be the perfect fit. Using consistent photo and frame sizes has a very classic and polished look that will stand the test of time."
Pro Tip: Don't Hang Photos Too High
Hanging pictures, whether single or multiple frames, high up on the wall is a common mistake that homeowners make when decorating. "You want the center of the overall arrangement to be around eye-level, so roughly 57 inches from the floor on a blank wall, or 7 - 10 inches above the furniture if you're hanging the frames over a console or sofa," advises Kacey Embry.

“It all started with the fabric,” explains Nancy Lupo, the designer behind this beautiful Dix Hills, New York, living space. “A beautiful embroidered fabric with black, hints of gold. So elegant and opulent, but mixed with a touch of linen to balance it out,” adds the designer.
