Master Bath Picture Wall

September 9, 2013 by Allison 3 Comments

bathroom picture wall - collection of European etchings in the master bath via Atticmag

A collection of European etchings, on an bathroom picture wall, creates a relaxing atmosphere. I have this thing for vintage etchings, but not just any etching.  It must have one or more of the following:  a lake, stream or pond is a given. A bridge -- arched stone bridges are favorites -- and a structure with architectural interest.  A few years ago, Jane gave a tour of our … [Read more...]

A specialized approach adds moldings to picture walls with dramatic results. Picture walls are always a challenge. Getting the arrangement and spacing just right always takes careful calculation. In the past we’ve shown general Ways to Hang Picture Walls. I also walked through my planning for the Antique Print Picture Wall in our apartment after I purchased a set of six fruit … [Read more...]

Informal Picture Wall

informal picture wall - how to arrange a picture wall over a sofa - Atticmag

How I created an informal picture wall with 14 pieces for my daughter's new living room. Our youngest daughter bought a house over a year ago.  Built in the mid-90's, it hasn't been updated.  Needless to say, there has been a lot to do to bring it up-to-date while filling the wants and needs of a young adult, including a living room renovation with a picture wall as the focal … [Read more...]

Picture Wall Sets

picture wall sets - wall of fashion prints over a console table - Domino via Atticmag

Picture wall sets make an impact with their multiple rows and same size frames. After a picture wall set of six antique Alexandre Bivort prints in my dining room (I purchased them at auction last January), I began exploring what to do on the adjacent wall. I still haven’t decided but a glimpse of a dining room picture wall in a favorite TV show, The Good Wife, made me think of … [Read more...]

Ways to Hang Picture Walls

picture walls - odd numbers and rows of framed magazine covers - Home Companion via Atticmag

Picture walls can be arranged in odd or even groups or hybrid odd and even rows. Creating successful picture walls often comes down to calculations. It's important to focus on  on how many pieces are available to hang in a single area, the size of each, and their scale (relative size) compared to the total wall area. In addition picture walls should -- at least in theory -- … [Read more...]

Antique Print Picture Wall

February 28, 2010 by Jane F 2 Comments

antique print picture wall - fruit Bivort prints hung on the dining room picture wall - Atticmag

Like a tile-setter, I began at the center point of the antique print wall to figure how to hang them. For more than two years I scoured auctions for a set of botanical prints for a print picture wall, hoping to get some at a reasonable price.  Nineteenth century prints like these originally came in subscription books and were hand-colored by artists.  I kept watching and … [Read more...]

Corner Picture Walls

corner picture walls - with traditional and modern mix over a two-wall banquette - Elle Décor via Atticmag

Corner picture walls are like visual libraries that say a lot about their owners. Perhaps more than any other type of arrangement, corner picture walls are highly individual expressions of taste and style. Each time I see a photo of a wall composed of images or objects it’s like putting one more piece of a life-long décor jig-saw puzzle into place. I always learn something … [Read more...]

Understanding Picture Walls

picture wall ideas - black and white art that looks like a picture wall at MOMA - Atticmag

Understanding picture wall ideas is key to creating attractive arrangements. I’ve been thinking about two separate spaces in my house, which prompted me to begin collecting these picture wall ideas. For me, picture walls are less about specific images than the way a grouping is arranged on any wall. Their  success depends a lot on the architecture of the wall and on scale – … [Read more...]
