Decorating your walls can kinda be like writer's block. You know, that empty, frustrating feeling of nothingness?
People want their spaces to feel special and
personal, but not every item can have deep, warm-your-heart meaning. If you are suffering from the “blank wall
blues”, here are a couple of ways to add some oomph to your space. Even if you don’t decorate with Grandma’s
heirlooms or award winning art pieces, at least make it look like it :)

| The arrangement of six frames on the back wall are none other than... pages from a book! This was a coastal themed beach house in Galveston, Texas, so we found a book with sea animals and birds and had a local frame shop frame and matte them for us. source of above photo |

| Framed and matted intaglios look super rich and classy. You can get them made of plaster, which is inexpensive. Do spend money on good framing, it is soooo worth the look you will get. |

| Have tons of digital photos? Alter the coloring to be black and white or sepia tone and print them out at your desired size. Most frame shops or Kinko's can help you to do that. Creating a symmetrical arrangement like the one featured above can create such a strong element to any space. source of above photo |

| Who loves thrift store shopping? Check out your local thrift/consignment/and even garage sales to find some old vintage frames. Paint and distress them yourself, then hang them EMPTY. Yes, let the frame be the art. source of above photo |
