I want to put 4 or 5 inch squares of pictures all along my walls, and I don't know if I should use frames or something else. I would think the frames might take away from the pictures.

I want to hang them on the wall.

Well, if you own your own home, you can decoupage them onto the wall. If you paint the walls you will have to do it all over again, though.
You can matte them. Get a framer to mat the pictures instead of framing them. Instead of using one picture to a mat make a cluster of related pictures and group them artistically on a mat.
If you know where to find a roll laminator, you can laminate the pictures in a long strip (the length of your walls) and use doublesided tape to put them up.
There are a lot of creative ideas out there, good luck.

What I have done is th e following. I purchased a Japanese divider wall . It had black and framing arround. Inside the squares was white shiny through paper. I took my pictures and glued them into the squares of that Japanese divider wall. And then put it infront of the wall. As I hate to put nails in.

you will find solutions similar to your problem. Frames look grant but they are expensive. Another way would be to just put an acid free mate under the picture and a glass on the top. Look it up on that website. Good luck!

There are acrylic "frames" that have plastic in front and back and clip together to make a sandwich with the picture in the middle and no surrounding frame showing.
The newest solution are those computerized LCD ones where you put a camera chip in them and they show one picture after the other. A lot of stores are featuring them in small and large size and holding hundreds of photos.

maybe if you pick frames that accent your pictures and maybe go with frames that are slender not bulky
