Room of the Day: A Home Office That Really Clicks (10 photos)

The cool white walls are just the right backdrop for displaying art. The homeowner’s work is hung on a tension cable wire system with clips. She can easily switch things out to show clients their photographs. For best results with a tension cable wire system, Schwartz-Muller recommends finding the wall studs and installing the anchoring pieces directly into them.

Behind the desk is a more permanent collection of other work, the beginning of a gallery wall. The wall is designated for the homeowner’s photography collection and daughter’s artwork. “I always want to design a room so that it can evolve with my clients,” Schwartz-Muller says. “By not squaring anything off and keeping the gallery wall loose, she can expand it herself as she adds to her collection.”

While there are no hard-and-fast rules for a gallery wall, the designer recommends keeping it cohesive. Here she used Spanish White mats for every piece and black or white frames, and she recommended that her client do the same with new pieces.
