At Helms Design District, we believe the way you display art is just as meaningful as the art itself. That’s why we’re excited to share a helpful guide from our longtime partner, Room & Board, on how to thoughtfully arrange a modern frame wall in your space.
Whether you’re working with family photos, bold contemporary prints, or a rotating mix of beloved pieces, Room & Board’s guide walks you through the process step by step, with style and intention.


A few takeaways we love:
Start with a plan. Think about how your pieces relate to each other. Go symmetrical for a clean, modern look, or mix things up with an organic arrangement that feels curated over time.
Map it out. Room & Board’s kraft paper trick is simple but smart: trace your frames on paper, tape them up, and play with layout before you commit.
Frame matters. Room & Board’s collection of clean, modern frames can elevate almost anything you hang—think minimal, timeless, and beautifully made.
Details count. Use the right tools (and a level!) to make sure everything is secure and aligned.
Room & Board has long shared our commitment to thoughtful, modern design. Their spaces—and their products—reflect a respect for craft, clarity, and everyday functionality. This guide is no exception.
