Eric Cohler - great display on a wall that is often neglected!
I LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AN ART WALL - DESIGNERS WILL DIFFER ON THEIR "RULES OF DISPLAY", I'M USUALLY DRIVEN BY INTUITION NOT DIE HARD RULES. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND.-VARY YOUR PHOTOS FOR INTEREST, EX. CLOSE- UPS, DISTANCE SHOTS, INSIDE, OUTSIDE, BIRDSEYE, LANDSCAPE..ETC. ETC.
-HAVE A METHOD TO YOUR MADNESS - BE SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT WITH THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PHOTOS, EX: 2", 3 + 4" ETC.
-CREATE AN IMPACT - WIMPY ART DISPLAYS FALL FLAT! POWER IS IN NUMBERS + OR SIZE!
- VARY SCALE WHEN DISPLAYING A LARGE QUANTITY OF PHOTOS, ART + OBJECTS

Great images.
I like keeping big furniture pieces neutral and adding
color in the art and accents.
Although I do love the pictures of neutral images on that blue wall and those black and white photos in Mary McDonald's office.
Just beautiful.

I recently read a blog post (I can't remember the blog right now) about the 'how to' of creating a beautiful art wall. In the example, the designer started with one print, then created the entire wall based on the relationship with that one print. It was amazing to see!
Great spread on spreads on the wall. Congrats for being Washington Post's blog of the week!
Cheers,
