How to Decorate With Family Photos & All the Same-Colored Frames

Find a place where you want to hang your family photos in their identically colored frames. Possible places to hang family photos include hallways, living room walls, accent walls and office walls. If you are having trouble deciding on a place, select a room where the dominant color matches the color of the photo frames. Alternately, select multiple places throughout the home or other space to sprinkle the photos so the matching frames create a unifying decorative flow.

Install hanging or other display hardware in the configuration you selected, using a level if you are a stickler for straightness or if the configuration calls for super straightness (as in an art gallery arrangement). Straight lines and perfectly level hanging are particularly appropriate for formal photos of straitlaced members of generations past, while an amorphous shape and perhaps slightly askew hanging suits a motley collection of casual family photos, as shown on the Apartment Therapy website.
