Try pairing our Granby frame style, which is an ornate wood frame that exudes antique-looking richness with our Derby frame in black. The combination of black and gold frames is a timeless look that is both eye-catching and soothing. Speaking of classic, did we mention we liked old-fashioned-looking frame displays? Because we do. Choose the right frame for each piece and then put them all together for an eclectic vibe. It’s a classic opposites attract story! Black and Gold Likewise, a colorful poster needs no added mat, and you can’t go wrong with a simple gold metal frame. If you have a black and white print, a classic black frame with white matting would work well. The best way to approach this design is to find the best fit for each piece you’re framing. Want an ornate Granby frame in gold right next to our wide metal Stafford frame in black right above our wood-grained Derby frame in Russet? Go for it! This is your chance to create order out of chaos and still make it look good. If you’re mixing and matching, why not just go all in! That’s right, anything goes! There’s no need to have any sort of theme or scheme here. By using a consistent color and size matboard for all your photos, or even using the “flat” metals of our Bradford or Stafford frames with our similarly flat wood frames, you can create a cohesive display but still keep your relaxed vibe. If you want to tie the gallery all together there are subtle ways you can do it. Build outwards until you’ve filled your desired space. If you want a more informal look, start with a large piece in the center of your wall and then begin surrounding it with an assortment of photos that differ in dimension. Using photographs in various sizes and shapes adds to the laid-back feel of your gallery wall. Our satin gold or silver can add a little pop to the display without being distracting. Consider using wood frames in two different hues (perhaps our Dayton frame style in Sand and Cocoa or our Derby frame style in Rustic Gray and Wheat) and adding one or two metal frames for contrast. Mixing and matching your frame materials will give your gallery wall a casual, relaxed feel, a perfect choice for those areas of your house where you want family and guests to feel at home. However, if you prefer to go the asymmetrical, mix and match route, then this is the post for you! We are going to explore some different style combos to get your creative juices flowing. We have shared lots of tips and tricks with you in the past on how to create the perfect grid pattern with uniform frames. So if you want your gallery wall in a grid pattern or totally asymmetrical, your frames to be uniform in style, size, and color or a mix and match display, whatever you think looks good for your space, we say go for it! There are no real rules. We also always mention our philosophy of doing things completely your way! That’s part of the beauty of custom framing. Rather than having to narrow your choices down to only one or two of your favorite pieces, why not dedicate an entire wall to a full collection of them! Gallery walls are a great way to display your personality along with some of your favorite memories or art pieces. If you’ve been to our Learning Center before, you know that we are big fans of gallery walls.
