Formal Photos


A common re-occurring question centers around photo collages on walls. We have all been to homes where it has been done very nicely- as well as those collections that need some serious help. There are, of course, many great ways to accomplish this- most of which are quite casual. I came across this picture in Country French Spring/ summer 2009- and liked what a good example it was for a photo wall in a more formal setting. What makes it work with such elegant furnishings?


  1. Matching frames

  2. All sepia tones

  3. Subtle coloring from frame to mat to photo to wall.

  4. The pictures are matted.

5. The wood trim on the wall helps to define the space.

Do you have a photo gallery? Is it working? What do you think of this one?
