2. Determine the boundaries in which the collage or collection of photo frames will be placed. The area of \u200b\u200bthis area should be in harmony with the individual details of the interior. For example, it can match the size of the window, the width of the sofa or the carpet on the floor of the living room.
3. Choose the design of the frames and the type of scheme: will it be symmetrical or asymmetrical? In both cases, the size and shape of the frames do not play a role - you can play with them to your heart's content. At the same time, in a strictly symmetrical scheme, it is recommended to compare frames of the same color and design, and an asymmetric scheme should be balanced in terms of visual mass and shades relative to the center.

To hang photos on the wall beautifully the first time, use a simple trick. Spread a large sheet of paper on the floor (or tape several sheets together). Lay out the photo frames on this sheet, moving them until the composition completely satisfies you. Draw around the outlines of the frames with a pencil, then use pins or needles to attach the sheet to the wall to make sure of the final result. If no changes need to be made, mark the photo locations with nails and remove the sheet.
For more clarity, you can even cut out the outlines of the frames from paper, as shown in the photo below.
