When looking at your staircase, do you think how great it would look to have family photos hanging on the wall as you walk up the stairs? We have all looked through tons of magazines and seen how those decorated staircase photos make you wish yours looked just like that. If you have attempted to achieve that look, you know that often the DIY method doesn’t always turn out the way you planned. The Decorologist has these great five tips on how to make your staircase photos look just like those in a magazine.
Choose two frame finishes – black and silver or gold and wood, for example. The frame styles can be different, but keep the overall look cohesive by sticking to two finishes for frames.
Go black and white. Choose black and white photos when hanging a large grouping of family photos in a more formal space, like a living room or dining room. Save the groups of color photographs for family rooms and other informal spaces.
Start in the middle of the stairwell with one of the larger photos. Work your way out in both directions so that the grouping stays balanced.
Keep interior spacing (between photos) consistent to make the grouping feel cohesive, not chaotic.
Check your work from a distance. Whenever I hang a new piece, I walk over to the opposite side of the room to see what my grouping looks like from a distance. This helps me to know where I may need to hang the next piece.
