Here is an interesting take on arranging a group of frames, lining frames up against a horizontal midline provides a nice clean line for a neat and orderly grouping.
A great idea for a hallway:
To achieve this orderly look, the secret is to divide and conquer: Mark a horizontal midline on the wall, and hang all pictures above or below it. The line can be delineated with a strip of painters’ tape and then removed once the pictures are in place. To unify the group, choose a single color for all frames and, if displaying photographs, stick with either all black-and-white or all color shots. (via Martha Stewart)
This hanging method also looks amazing when you use a variety of different frame styles and colours for a more eclectic look:

Don’t forget to plan ahead:
Cutting templates of your frames out of kraft paper or newspaper allows you to set up your grouping and visualize how the arrangement will look on the wall before you start making holes.
