Nautical vintage pieces don't become clutter when used in the right amounts. Here the white paint, neat bedding, and shiny hardwood floors maintain the balance.
Here is another collection that could very well continue to grow. A mixture of black, brown and white frames feature photographs and sayings which are all in the same tone. The end result is an art wall that manages to be interesting while melding into the room design without taking it over.
Here's a lesson in embracing imperfection. The clapboard walls in this bedroom are slightly flawed, and that's what makes them work. It's just the right setting for the eclectic art collection clustered together.
Fill an art wall for less. Mix a jumble of different-size art prints, photos and printed quotes, all in black and white, on a single gallery wall. Cut-up art books, postcards and snapshots are all very affordable ways to build this look, and the simplest frames will look cohesive in black and white.
Wall art Gather nautical or coastal images in a specific theme to hang on your walls. You might choose photos classic yachts in black and white and mix in some closeups of rope, a ship's bell and other maritime accessories. Frames can be bought really cheaply from discount stores or from your local flea market, auction house or eBay. Paint them, lime-wash them or just use a mix of different woods for a well-weathered look.

Like the idea of framing photos of kids in the water, skiing, boating, etc while growing up. Another room could feature photos of the grandkids enjoying water sports while growing up.
