Staircase Picture Wall

April 8, 2010 - Posted by Susan Doris

Ever wonder how to hang art or family photos on a staircase wall?  What works, what doesn’t?  Take a look at this stunning wall and suggestions for making your staircase a success!

More times than I can count, I have been asked to consult on a staircase wall.  What do I do with this massive wall, what is the highest and lowest I can hang pictures, do all of my frames need to match?  These are just a few of the questions I have encounter.  Take a look at this striking staircase.  Notice how low the pictures are hung.  It works doesn’t it!  I always feel it is important to have some sort of consistency on a staircase wall, whether its using the same color mats, or one frame color (but different styles).  Or in this case, a few different frame colors, but with similar styles or dimensions.  It is always best to have a good plan before you start to hang on a staircase wall.  I usually start by laying my finished frame dimensions on a scaled elevation drawing.  Doing a mock-up on your floor works too.  When stuck, call a professional to help you achieve a stunning look!alt text
