Picking the Right Frame Sizes
It’s better to err on the side of oversized picture frames.
If you fill a wall with a bunch of 8×10 or smaller picture frames, it’s going to feel busy and cluttered, especially if you choose to use color photos or vibrant art.
I like to stick to picture frames between 11×14 and 20×24 sizes when placing them on a stairway. You can always fill in with smaller picture frames like 8×10 or 5×7 sizes, but those large frames will act as your “anchor”.
I’ve included the frame sizes we used on the images below, so you can copy the look of our gallery wall on your own stairway if you want.
We arranged the various frame sizes into columns so they would still have a sense of order to them.
