• For visual interest yet a soothing effect, think about a grid of art or photos that look great on a wall when the pieces are framed the same size, using the same frame.
• Remember – it is possible to “frame to the art” and have it look good in the room as well. If you choose something that is chosen for the art, it will look fine should you decide to move it to another room.
• Choose a mat color that attracts you to the art.
• Match your frame to your arts timeframe. If it from the 1960s, choose a frame from that time era.

• When creating a grouping, choose frames in similar color tones or family for a touch of uniformity.
• Including a framed mirror in a bathroom will provide a finishing touch.
