Picture Collages
A well-planned picture collage can turn out to look really amazing. The best part is that you can create the design to match all different kinds of aesthetics. Also, the potential for display objects is endless. You can use classic black and white images, a combination of your own photographs and purchased ones or why not try to add a little bit of found artwork in there?
Some collages are very elegant and clean. They feature similar picture frames, mattings and pictures in an organized arrangement. Even though this is a collage of many images, it still feels well put together and planned. Using simple black and white frames against colored walls also created a nice neat contrast that is both aesthetically pleasing and calming.
Some of the most interesting picture collages are ones that have no particular obvious pattern, but rather the shapes and colors flow together to create one cohesive piece.

Original Artwork

One of the most classic and traditional ways to decorate a bare wall is to hang a piece of original artwork.
