I've been wanting to create a photo wall with some b&w photos in our dining room. We don't have alot of wall space, but I have some frames I can use. They are all black, which I thought would be fine since the photos are b&w. But the trim in the dining room is white, so now I am 2nd guessing myself. I am thisclose to painting all the frames white. WDYT? Black or white frames for this space? Here is the tentative photo layout. 2nd photo shows the black frames.

I think the black frames will be perfect! Very cute!

Black frames... but I'd mat the pictures with a white mat-- that's how I picture them on your wall! I love the wall color!

This. I have red walls and white trim/wainscoating in my half-bath, and I have b&w prints of the Eiffel Tower and Pisa in black frames on the wall. They're larger prints, 8x8, but are matted in white. I love the effect.

I think the black frames would look great.  If you painted them white, I think it would be too much white.
