How to Decorate a Home Office With Black Picture Frames

Simple black picture frames can enhance your home office decor.

Black picture frames work with a variety of decorating styles, whether you want modern, antique, simple or elegant. Use black frames to decorate your home office for a look that rivals any other office. Your black picture frames don't have to match, yet they'll still go together. Basic black frames allow you to easily update the decor in your home office without having to put out a lot of money every time you're ready for something new. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

• Paint
• Images
• Hooks or nails
• Hammer
• Easel

Instructions

1. Paint the walls a soothing color that allows you to work in the room, as well as setting up the background to display your black picture frames. Common office colors include white, beige or gray or other neutral colors.

2. Insert important documents, photographs, artwork or decorative paper in each black picture frame. Choose a specific theme for the images, so they work together. For example, frame a few different modern prints, black and white vacation photos or inspirational posters. The black frames unify the prints, even if you display different colors or patterns in the frames.

3. Arrange the frames on the wall behind the desk or across from the desk. Use picture hooks, screws or nails to hold the frames in place. Because all the frames are black, your arrangement can include a uniform look with the same-sized frames or showcase a variety of different sizes or shapes.

4. Add a couple pictures to your desk, on a shelf or sideboard if you have images you want to display. Use easels or simple frames that can stand on their own.

Tips & Warnings

• Mix and match different sizes, styles, thicknesses and shapes of black frames to add interest and dimension to the office. Tie the frames together by using the same mats or another similar element.

• Avoid cluttering your desk or walls, as that will distract you from your work. Limit the number of frames on your desk to two or three at most. The wall can hold a collage of frames, a single large frame or any number of frames that doesn't appear chaotic or cluttered.
