Over the last couple of weeks I have been doing a few little finishing touches at home. Last week I collected together some paintings I have and had them hung in a cluster on a wall in our kitchen. There are a couple of drawings Harry has done for me, a painting which I picked up down in Bangalow last weekend and a few other special things I have collected over the years. The trick with cluster walls is laying the paintings down on the floor in a layout you like first and then hanging them. I always have a professional picture hanger hang them for me, after I have laid out the design, as my husband is {unfortunately} hopeless with a hammer.

You have a knack for picture walls! I've collected some nice art pieces but have to admit am slightly intimidated when it comes to arranging them so harmoniously.
Stunning! Love the mix of magenta and royal blue in a white room!

Brava!!!!
You've taken it to new heights. I'm coveting the little acnavas with honeydew wedges (guessing)..I have a thing for fruits on canvas.
Also the smattering of pinks play greatly with the chairs & ball fringe....delovely!!!

Hanging paintings and photos is so difficult! I'm horrible with a hammer as well. This looks great :)
So beautiful Anna! I love that you've teamed both new and old with art handmade by your son. What a treasure! x
any chance you could send me the details of your professional picture hanger up?
Its beautiful Anna.

They look lovely! I want to do this with my pictures too, but with colourful frames! :)
Wow, you really have lots of artistic talents!;-)
I am following your blog from the north..... Norway.
Keep up the good work!

Where do you find a professional hanger ? I think i need one ! My husband is terrible with a hammer and has no idea of things hanging straight !
I'm doing precisely the same thing with my collection of photos and drawings but in black white and grey. I love the color in yours. The advice about how to lay it out first is spot on - exactly how I did mine - but I used velcro not nails so I can reposition easily. 3M makes a velcro/glue repositionable product that is brilliant.
Gorgeous! A professional picture hanger is a great idea - when I next move house I would like to have that done.
I like the variety of frames and the placement of each.. A friend who is an artist, taught me how to hang one perfectly!.. That saved my sanity..
Lovely. I also love the chandelier!
gorgeous Anna. And I so understand the need for a professional picture hanger - Me and the 3M hook never worked! x
anna, you've got great taste in art. i am totally inspired by your collections. you have serious talent!
Looks so beautiful.... I just adore everything about your home!
so the old "make it a rectangle if the frames are all different and the subject matter is similiar" is NOT the way to go. Looks fabulous. I have a wall that needs just that treatment.
any tips of hanging this beautifully would be helpful.. we had a rough time hanging our 3 frames last weekend and it was a nightmare..ended up with lotsa holes in the wall!
The wall looks fabulous! I have many walls in my own home where I have clustered art, paintings, and mirrors it is beautiful and makes a lovely statement. As always, I enjoyed your post!
I love your picture wall. You have a nice collection and the chandelier is fantastic. I like your style.
oh i just love this!
I'm suprised! a man not good with a hammer?! weird! :p
I love you style! The painting thats sorta in the middle.. the big painted canvas of flowers-love it!
:)
Nice work!
I love your images + display ideas. I also find your blog inspiring. I have nominated you for a Splash award. See my blog for details when you have a moment.
Best,
Julie
stunning! and the chandalier is gorgeous!!
great job as usual! I love the chandelier. That blue painting is so nice, I remember it was your son who made it? I must ask my goddoughter to paint for me :)
Lovely!!
another reason to light a match. poof.
your place is so cheery and happy. :)
I love this one! I have been wanting to do a wall like this. And the chandelier is fun too :) Great taste.
I just discovered your blog and love your sense of style. I have become inspired by your Cluster Wall and hope to try it soon.....
Bravo!
I love that wall... beautiful color scheme and wonderful eclectic choices.
This is such a lovely cluster. I just love the painting of the roses and the story in the post below.

i LOVE your dinning area! Ã was thinking if you could show us a photo of your white chandelier that i absolutely love. I wish i could find one like that here in Portugal! Congradulations on your work!
This is exceptional Anna, was it Andrew that helped you out with the hanging? I believe we shouldnt be afraid to "cluster", it makes life so much interesting & shows total confidence. Must say I
l-o-v-e the chandelier! Janet..
Wow!!!...Loooove the way you have hung your art...so perfect...the colours all synchronize with your other decor so well....I am loving all the painted art work you are mixing with other decor elements, textiles and lamps, etc...yummy...is what say!....xx
Anna, LOVE it! That first photo with the shot of the chandelier should be in a magazine. You did a lovely job grouping the art...and those pink chairs...beautiful!
wow this is really cool, love the picture of proper artwork and your sons pictures- not that his are not realy artwork too though :)
i will have buy some snazzy frames and try this out!
