Bringing a Hallway to Life

Low Cost, High Style

Safety in numbers is an important decorating principle. Grouping similar items together on a wall will make a statement.

Nine inexpensive etchings, found at a secondhand store, were matted in simple black frames and arranged on two corner walls. Four other etchings, placed in gold-carved ready-made frames, sit in the bookcase and above a bedroom door. Strategically placed trays with gold detail add more visual interest and punctuate the etchings.
