Hi Casa,
I am adding, for the first time ever, fine photography to my apartment. However I am at a loss when it comes to framing styles and arrangement.
One set of four photographs is horizontally-oriented and black-and-white.
Casa Quickie: Lean Back
I've talked a bit in the past about various ways you can hang art in your home. But that's not the only solution to your home gallery woes. As you can see, leaning artwork against a wall can be as gorgeous as hanging it at eye level.
Casa Quickie: Hang It Diagonally
It's a dream to curate a personal collection of original art, but it's not always in the budget. Sometimes, though, just the frame you use to hang something or the way it's hung is visually intriguing enough that what's behind the glass is of little consequence. Artists, designers, and art directors Jonathan and Annie Zawada made the most of a simple drawing by hanging it diagonally in their Sydney home, photographed by Todd Selby.

Get the Look: Fun, Fanciful Swedish Study
When I happened upon photographs of Annika Borg's beautiful home in Skona Hem, I was bewitched by her use of color and pattern, as well as her bold mix of style. This is a home that is infinitely livable, and while it's beautiful, you can tell that Annika doesn't take herself too seriously — in the best possible way.
In particular, I adore this colorful, feminine, and fun study.

Hanging artwork salon style is too chaotic for some decorators. But, that doesn't mean you have to resort to leveling frames side by side. Instead, you can mix up the size and shape of your frames, but frame them within a box.
Do You Have Any Plates Hanging at Your Home?
I love the effect of a carefully arranged grouping of plates. Depending on how you execute it, it can look either wildly modern or downright traditional. Either way, it's a lovely way to decorate your walls.
