Artists frequently find themselves with spectacular drawings preserved in a portfolio because studios lack the space to hang multiple photo frames.

Some types of art look better when they are displayed together; others need space. You can usually tell if your art needs space if you hang it up and it dominates. Dominating pieces of art are best suited for singular displays as a focal point. The type you would have above the mantel or on prominent display at the bottom of the staircase, or on a landing at the top of the stairs where it sits isolated, creating a sort of instant atmosphere that sets the tone for the area it’s in.

Is the height of your walls giving you some design problems? Those with standard room heights are often envious of high walls as having high walls should, in theory, give you a huge blank canvas to decorate ‘til your heart’s content.

Rarely is that the case though. What you quickly find is to hang art on tall walls, anything beyond a couple of rows, or with unrelated images, gives an awkward vibe.

Multi photo frames are used creatively for various types of photo displays, but one that is not commonly used is for creating a staff photo board. Businesses tend to think these projects need a custom frame so they can fit a photo of each staff member and a nameplate too.

Baroque prints are unique and can dominate the wall space they are displayed on. Rarely are these pieces suited to a collection in close proximity because the resulting effect is likely to be overwhelming.

You can find a range of baroque prints online, most of which are art reproductions and they continue to be popular, or you can spend a fortune on a classic original in which case you will definitely want to pay attention to the framing material to ensure it has maximum protection.

When you have more photos than your current frame collection can handle, there are two options. Invest in more frames or combine what you have into one unique display to house a collection of photos together. Nearly all multi photo frames are designed with pre-cut layouts to fit the majority of standard photo sizes of 6” x 4”, 7” x 5”, 10” x 8”, 12” x 8” and A4 prints.

The bathroom is one of the trickiest rooms in the home to decorate with art, because of the higher moisture levels. Wood frames are not moisture resistant, and paper is a by-product of wood, so both are prone to mould and mildew when exposed to high humidity for a prolonged period.

Loft or attic conversions are a popular way to add an extra room to your property. The trouble is, most homes have an A-Frame construction, so once the attic is converted, you are left with a room with slanted walls.

How are you meant to hang frames, or attach anything to a wall that sits at an angle?

There are solutions, and you may be surprised at how simple, yet effective some hanging systems can be.

In today’s homes, rooms have to be as multi-functional as ever, serving as living space, communal space, workspace and study areas.

Whatever you try to do, there are always going to be distractions. There is one thing that can help transform a room into a better study area while adding an air of artful decor to the space, and that is by displaying some vintage school wall art.
