Staircases aren’t where you want to be risking your safety with inappropriate step ladders held shakily by someone you’d really need to trust. Thankfully, there is a super safe way to get your best pictures hung without any risk. And if you really want to do it hole-free, just tweak your fittings for a suitable Command 3M strip. If you do choose to stick frames on the wall, be sure to use the weight appropriate strips or everything will come crashing down.

Nobody ever said that your frames had to follow a set of rules, yet for some reason, there seems to be a common theme among framing.

‘Frame a baby picture with a white frame to make it pop from the wall’. That’s a given since white frames are certainly excellent choices for getting any art to pop out from your wall displays.

There comes a point for us all when we look at our pictures and just feel bored. They need changing, so you dig through your photo collection to find the best prints that will give a good change to your walls.

There are many picture frame display ideas but trying them out is often put off because it’s so much easier to go the easy route, knock a nail in the wall, hang the frame and see if it looks good. If not, try again. That’s one way to ruin your plasterwork and décor.

It will come as no surprise that the most common shape of picture frame is the rectangle. There are quite a few more though, and that variety of shape lends itself well for creating unique displays.

Traditionally, frames are hung on the wall. It’s the most prominent place to put them. Considering the effort that goes into a framing project, it only makes sense. You want your art and those photos you cherish so much to be seen by everyone who enters your home.

What do you do when you have more photos you want to show, but not enough wall space to hang them?

That’s where frame layering comes to your rescue.

Frame groupings are one of the ways you can display family photos, themed pictures, or art prints in any size of wall space you have, without having to fully plan a gallery wall.

Wall art, photos and frames are generally considered finishing touches. It is so much easier to design around wall art and accessories than it is to find accessories to match the colour and shade of your walls.

How many times have you decided on a colour scheme, painted a room, then spent longer shopping for accessories to give the space the finishing touches?

When was the last time you backed up your photos? Not just the ones you have on your phone, but also the pictures stored in photo albums, the ones that have already been burned to DVD or CD and all the precious snaps already printed and framed, hung proudly on display.
