If this seems a little boring to you, you'll love an alternative approach we often see in well-staged Richmond homes for sale: the gallery wall, which is where you hang many pieces of artwork together for a collage-like effect.

They're great for family photos or eclectic displays of artwork. Here are a few tips for bringing this savvy look into your own home.
