Just curious but do you guys like your walls with lots of stuff on it like:

or
Or clean looking walls:
Disregard the actual art in the pictures, I'm focusing on the framing set ups

i have my framed prints aligned perfectly level. IMHO i think it looks a lot more cleaner. and prints can be admired easier i think.

Yeah I'm not a fan of busy walls at all. I usually prefer straight lines or one big piece per wall.

$250 for the pair shipped and insured. Both are mint. Shipping should be around 7 or 8 bucks.
FYI: this was the collection that didn't make my walls, still beats your shitty little collections...and if it doesn't, I still couldn't care less.

I think with busy walls the power of the pieces is lost. In certain situations a busy wall may be okay such as showing a whole tour run of prints but my personal preference is to give the pieces there own space and not crowd them in.
Now to go about finding more walls...

Currently I have "clean walls" but I still stagger some of them if it looks right on the wall. Eventually I'll probably do a couple accent walls covered in art only because I'm starting to run out of wall space.

Clean. Have probably 4-6 pieces in each room, my office being the exception.

living and dining room mostly clean and lots of rotating. Bedrooms and kitchen tend to get a bit busier. I change placement/remove/replace at least one or two pieces of art every few weeks in our house. I love busting out the laser level and bourbon!

I like a little space. Things can be stacked but not like the shotgun blast hanging some of the low bro dealers go for
