Wall hanging picture frames make great centerpieces. And there are so many ways to customize them. The caveat is that it isn’t easy to get the right design. And even if you do, it’s just a lot of work to arrange a bunch of frames, no matter how easy it seems to be.

Measure the wall, measure the frames, map out a design, select the center of the wall, use a level, stick the frames and still, you could end up with a mishmash that looks out of place.

Premade collages take the guesswork out of frame arrangement and they come in a variety of eye-pleasing designs. The frames are either interconnected or come with detailed instructions that allow you to easily set it up.

Here are a few tips on how to select one for your room.

Where to best hang collage picture frames?

Contrary to popular notion, frames don’t always have to be hung on the main wall in a living room or a bedroom. You can use them to fill just about any empty space. Be it corners, the foyer, surrounding the door frame, on the wall behind the headboard or on the walls next to the stairs.

Be creative. If you are unsure whether a collage will look good on a wall, get help. Have someone hold the frames for you and take a look from a distance.

How to arrange collage picture frames on the wall?

Measure the wall where you would like to hang the collage. The thumb rule is to hang pictures at eye level at all times. But that’s not written in stone.

If you have a small apartment or one with low ceilings, then you can hang the collage picture frames a little higher than eye level. It creates an illusion of the ceilings being higher than they are.

Always ensure that there’s ample room left on the wall after hanging the collage. The idea is to create a focal point. Not to cover the entire wall with pictures.

If the wall is big, you can always space out the frames a little. And yes, it is completely okay to go asymmetrical while hanging collage picture frames.

What kind of picture frames will fit your decorating style?

It’s easy to overlook the type of frames while buying collages. But if the frames don’t match the rest of the furniture and accent pieces, then they tend to stick out like a sore thumb.

Black frames, irrespective of the width, blend well with contemporary décor and modern furniture. You can either use similar-styled pictures or mix and match things up for an eclectic look.
Frames with a light wood finish, like ash for example, works well in homes with a vintage décor theme.
Darker wooden frames with a cherry or mahogany finish are better suited for homes with classic décor themes.

How to select the right size picture frames?

While selecting a hanging collage, always consider the pictures that you will be using in them. Do you have more portrait pictures than landscapes?

While a few family pictures do look good, it’s always better to mix them up with artwork to avoid monotony.

And you can use the artwork to create a sense of coherence with the rest of your décor. Match them up with the cushions on the sofa, for example.

How to hang the collage?

Fixed or connected set of frames are easy to install. They will either have a picture rail or a wire that takes just one screw.

But if the frames are not connected, don’t fret. It leaves you with all the more room for experimentation if you get bored with the arrangement. And you can easily attach the frames yourself with a simple wire if need be.
