|
Wondering what to do with an empty wall. How are your walls decorated?
One or two large pictures, drawings or paintings on one wall?
Or rather a group of many smaller pictures and drawings next to and above each other?
Any pictures?

In our home, we have made thymes for walls. One is local artists, one is Mimi’s (my wife’s) art, another is family pictures, yet another is old family pictures and such.
This is the local artist, Frog wall ( photo / image / picture from Calomaar's Garden )
This is the old family photos etc. ( photo / image / picture from Calomaar's Garden )

these 2 are Mimi's art.

Just something to think about.

We don't have a lot of wall space available. I have quilted wall hangings on three walls around the house but the two walls of pictures we like the most are these.
This is an assortment of framed sayings and quotes that we really like. I purposely used different colors, styles and sizes of frames, I feel it gives them more personality...

In the hallway we used 1.25" wide lattice strips painted white to surround and hold some paintings that our youngest daughter did in elementary school.

I love your art walls.  We've also got groups of pictures on some walls, but the big ones are solitaires.

Thanks so far to everyone for your answers and pictures. Sure gives me some inspiration.
Having a group of pictures looks nice to me, the main challenge seems to be to hang them all perfectly horizontal 
Toni, your daughter's a real artist! Impressive!
