Grouping pictures is a great way to bring together artwork, photographs, and those strange miscellaneous items we all collect that inspire us but we can't find a home for. I had a bunch of black frames destined for the garbage can and an assortment of art, art cards, and pages cut out of books that I wanted to put together on a wall at home. I unified the grouping with black frames, and cream coloured matting. This is a really easy, economical way to decorate a bare wall. The mat borders are not all even, but who cares! No rules here. You could mix up the mat colours for a fun look, or play with spacing the art in different ways. If you had a group of artwork that was more formal, there is no limit to beautiful custom framed groupings with more traditional and symmetrical layouts.
Here are a few more pictures from the web of different styles of groupings. So if you have a big bare wall at home, consider a grouping instead of one big piece of artwork, you'll be glad you did...and keep collecting, because its easy to add and subtract art as you journey through life!
