Let's start with something simple, but something that can have a very dramatic effect.Picture frames.
This first picture may not be extremely dramatic, but pictures and good frames can always liven up a shelf or table or wall. Be courageous and try something new. Don't just put your 4x6's in 4x6 frames. Get frames with big mats. You aren't just showing off a picture, you're creating art and something that will draw a person's eyes to your photos. With these large matted frames you create a focal point without having to put flowers or knickknacks everywhere. (You certainly can, you just don't need to.) Also, you can put frames right in front of each other and not cover the entire picture in the back.
Don't be afraid to lean frames against the wall. If you have a skinny shelf or very little room on a cluttered one, just lean the frames against the wall and each other. That's very in right now...
Sometimes you have the problem of finding something with height to put on a bottom shelf. A large picture frame can do the trick and allow you to show off one more photo!
This is kinda crazy, but I love it! I can totally see this in my art/craft room one day! One day...
Wall collages are fun and very interesting. You could occupy someone for quite some time looking at this! I don't know if I'd have the patience to attempt this, but if you've got it go for it! Talk about a focal wall! And you didn't even need to buy a huge piece of furniture!
