The easy-change picture ledge

Placing your art on a picture ledge is a convenient way to get a minimum-drill solution that also is easy to change around when you think it’s time to renew your art wall. Simply mix and match until you’ve found a nice balance.

The organic salon-style look

Grouping pictures in a non-structured way can set off a fun and creative vibe. It’s easy since you don’t need to measure and you can always add more pictures whenever you want. Start with one or two anchoring points and go from there.

Going straight and structured

Aligning the edges of your frames gives you a stylish art display. The easiest way to get the placement right is to make paper templates of each frame and tape them to the wall – and then hang the corresponding frames.
