Need some inspiration for inexpensive wall art? You probably have a handful of mismatched frames laying around your home. Why not grab a can of spray paint and make something really fun happen? While recently perusing a local decor shop, I snapped this photo of a grouping of frames what totally inspired me:

What unites those frames is chalkboard paint in place of the expected photo. You could also gather disparate frames and spray paint them in a common color.
A common color or even similar tone unites a random group of photo frames.
Same thing with a cluster of mirrors. See how this retail store uses both ideas: random mirrors painted white and random picture frames painted black.
Does this give you ideas for grouping some other items for inexpensive wall art? Please share your ideas with us!
Love these ideas, especially the black on black frames on wall! Very effective.
sheila, that black on black effect is really unexpected, isn’t it? i typically go for contrast, but that looks both subtle and dramatic at the same time.
So true…my friend has them all over her entry which is 2 stories high and it looks fantastic. She bought them all at a local thrift store and spray painted them purple…I’ll have to take a picture someday! Hope you are well! Great post!
Just bought a nice wooden frame at goodwill–thinking about where to hang it and what color to paint it….I need a few more, but it will be fun to collect them. 🙂
So funny – I’ve got some empty frames from recent estate sales hanging on the wall right now – waiting for me to tend to them. They do look oddly charming when unfilled.
The white on white hallway is very cool!! I wonder what all those white frames would look like on a strongly colored wall…
i can see it now – white frames on a fuschia wall!
Thanks for the blog comment 🙂 Your posts are all so inspiring!
I agree! You can have so much fun with a bunch of frames & a can of spray paint!
Warmly, Michelle
I especially like the images of white frames on the white walls. Great inspiration! Cindy
I love walls of many mirrors and frames and have done both in my house. All of these are great examples.
I am looking for an assortment of white frames just like the ones you have posted in the white hallway. Could you be of any help on where to find similar frames and sizes?
my suggestion would be to gather up mismatched ones of your own or from yard sales and spray paint them all white yourself. otherwise, you could try michaels or hobby lobby.
Hi, love your blog! It makes me so happy that I am not alone in my colour obsession. That said, I have to say I find the empty frame art thing so sad and tacky, and I’m shocked to see it here. Empty frames = anti-art. Boo.
Oh no, Tricia! It’s not anti-art. The frames can be art, or even the grouping of the frames. Art is in the eye of the beholder! 😉
It’s ideal time to have the plans money for hard times and a chance to feel very special.
