I’m so excited to bring you another week of “What to Put on My Walls?” I’ve got some great ideas in store for you this week and a boat load of inspirational pics. So let’s get started!!
Budget Tip of the Day: Empty Frames
Picture frames by themselves can become a beautiful art piece when grouped together. No more stressing about which photos or artwork to hang because you don’t need any. But there are a few tricks to pulling off a successful empty frame look.
- Use a variety of frame sizes and styles: The more contrast you have, the more interesting your wall will look. Craft stores sell unfinished frames that look great for a project like this. Thrift stores are overflowing with old frames that just need a little spray paint love. Grab a bunch of sizes and styles to give the wall some dimension. Your frames do not need to be expensive.
- Unify the frames with color: You want a collected group of frames that don’t look they came from the exact same store, but usually your wall will look better if the frames are all the same color. No worries–spray paint is your best friend here.
- Layer the frames: Don’t spread your frames out too far. They should be fairly close to create a statement. Use more frames than you think you’ll need and try layering them on top of each other for some added depth. Play around with them on the floor until you find a configuration you love.
OK, enough babbling. Let’s get to the inspiration shall we?!
I’m loving these not so empty–empty frames.
Are you feeling inspired yet? This is going to be a fun week.
Come back tomorrow for more “What to Put on My Walls.”
