A wall display at a heritage property caught my eye. Mismatched frames, small mirrors and old hardware were arranged together so that each piece added to the whole.
Start with what you already have
Look for old frames, keys, hooks or small mirrors in drawers and at family homes. Sentimental pieces make a display feel personal.
Lay it out before you hang it
Arrange the pieces on the floor first. Vary the sizes, leave even gaps and step back to check the balance before making any holes in the wall.
Keep it simple
A warm wall color and a few well-chosen objects are enough. Leave empty space around the group so the pieces can be seen.
