Wonderwalls: How to hang great art well

I think gallery walls are a great way to fill a large wall, to showcase a collection, your children’s art, your travel photos, family snapshots. I believe in living with photographs (and memories, I guess). I only look at my photo albums every other year, but with a wall like this, I’d see my photos everyday! I’m thinking about making a wall of the vintage photos I’m slowly collecting or maybe just of family snapshots both from my parents and grandparents as well as my own.


I think I like the gallery walls that use different types of frames. How to make a gallery wall yourself, easily? Check out these two options from the Conran Store, the Antix Multiframe kit and the Picture Wall Gallery Frame Set.
