I'm trying to figure out why this works so well. I think it's the balance between height and width - some are wider than they are tall and vice-versa, and they are placed just right in relation to one another.

Pictures of old friends and family not only personalize dorm rooms, they're also comforting, especially those first few weeks away from home. I love this mix of sizes and frame color - it makes for a fun gallery.

This is one of the most popular photos on Houzz - and rightly so. It's a little more "gallery" than "collage" but I love it for that one yellow frame.

An eclectic mix of art and photographs makes a bedroom feel more personal. Nicely done!

This is the essence of chic: seemingly effortless while getting proportion and spacing just right.

It's hard to believe, but this room is completely neutral if you take away the bed cover and the pillows.

Which Photos to Frame? It can be difficult to decide what makes it on display and what’s better suited for a photo album. These decisions are personal, but if you do want to whittle down your photos to those that are most meaningful, this advice can help:Consider proximity. Are the photos of a family member you see every day? Avoid “memorializing” someone who is very much alive by choosing only photos that are extremely special, such as a candid shot of your kids napping together or one of your daughter tying her first pair of pointe shoes. Keep the number of photos to a minimum for each family member. Babies are amazing. Our children are supercute, and everything they do is newsworthy (to us), but it’s not truly necessary to display 47 photos of your baby on the coffee table. One beautifully shot image of a baby's first smile is much more impactful. Masses of pictures of the same family member (e.g., your child), tend to create a shrine to that individual within the walls of your home. The same goes for wedding photos. As mentioned, choose two or at maximum three that show personality, not formality.Decide which photos are private versus public. Some photos are better left in the master bedroom. Topless pregnancy photos might be a bit distracting when displayed over the family room fireplace. Intimate moments such as a husband and wife gazing into each other's eyes might not be best on the living room bookcase. Think of it this way: If it includes romance, nudity, soft filters or lingerie, it’s probably a private photo.Choose where and how you will display your photos and stick with that plan. Keep in mind size and scale! For a staircase gallery, decide which size photos can be grouped most easily and allow for future additions. If you are working with a tight grid system, know that it’s probably best for you to switch out images with existing ones instead of trying to expand the grid (unless you have the wall space to do so). If you are mixing sizes and styles of frames, ensure that your foundational layout allows for the addition of different-size frames without making the arrangement seem out of control (a more free-form grid system works best for this).Edit. As your photo collection grows, you should be able to decide which ones stay and which ones go into an album. When you’ve outgrown the space you set for the display, don’t claim another wall before giving thought to whether everything you want to frame really works.More: A Gallery Wall for Every Personality
