It can be difficult to find just the right items and layout to make a home gallery wall look attractive. Including frames made out of real silver can add great sophistication and light to the whole composition and really bring life to it. Silver provides an opulent, luxurious element that has a lighter effect than gold and doesn’t overpower other items. You can choose from many types of silver finishes to add rich texture and create a refined, elegant feel.
Mix silver frames with other items
To build a home gallery wall, you need to choose individual items that go well together but aren’t necessarily ‘matchy-matchy.’ You can choose to use a whole array of family pictures in different frames and even use frames without photos to create a frame collage – it’s entirely up to you. Using all silver frames could make the gallery wall look a little cold but mixing silver frames amongst other items will provide just the right amount of elegance to the mix. You can also select silver frames with different finishes, such as a hammered finish or delicate scrollwork.
Use a silver framed mirror in the mix
Adding a silver-framed mirror with a style of frame that suits your décor best is a great way to add interest to your home gallery wall. A beaded beveled silver mirror frame will have a timeless appeal, whereas handcrafted embellishments on a mirror frame will suit a more ornate interior.
Go for quality
When it comes to matching pictures with frames, frames made out of real silver will display them best. A lack of quality in the frames you use on your home gallery wall can cheapen the look. If you go to the effort of creating a home gallery wall, you want it to have the right impact and using quality silver frames makes a difference.
Keep it even and balanced
Arrange larger art with more space between frames, and group smaller art closer together. Make sure there is enough space between your frames. You will need about three to six inches between each piece and around each side of a frame. Your home gallery wall needs a sense of balance and this means using the right combination of styles, colors and finishes.
Enjoy long-lasting beauty
Sterling silver frames will last a lifetime with proper care so you don’t have to worry about having to replace them, unlike if you use plastic or wood composite frames. Metal or silver plate simply does not have the same effect on your wall display as authentic sterling silver.
