cluster f

i’ve been working on a very exciting secret project that i will debut here very soon. part of my research turned up these inspiration photos, which i thought i’d post!

a cluster of frames and objects is one of the easiest ways to decorate a wall and pull a room together to look “decorated” without having to go out and buy some large scale art. i wrote about how to hang a cluster of frames here and you can see the finished product of that cluster in this blog post here. you can see my own wall of frames in my place here. you can also use mirrors, like my friend Hannah did here or any other thing that could be mounted on the wall. i like the last photo above how they have plates and a record and a fish as part of the cluster. or you could go very minimalist and just put empty frames up on a colored or textured wall…. so many possibilities and it doesn’t have to be expensive! look at what you have in your own home now and then fill in with inexpensive things from thrift stores, flea markets or garage sales. just remember to lay out your cluster pattern on the floor (a space the size of the wall to be used) before you start poking holes in the wall, so you know exactly what you want placed where.

if you have any feature wall art embellishments you’ve done in your own home that you would like to share, please submit your photos to me! i would love to post them! email [email protected]
