To the Walls

The trick here?  Red frames!  What a great way to add some color and interest to an otherwise bland hallway.  Notice that all the frames match, but are different sizes and are hung a bit haphazardly for a more casual feel.  The red frames are paired with black and white photographs, which keeps the composition from becoming overwhelming (color photos and colored frames might feel a bit chaotic).  This idea could be re-created with any paint color and in any space!
