These images are ones we have had on file from the British version of Homes & Gardens. This was a great article with a fresh and modern flair for creating wall displays!

The first image features bold colorful images in the kitchen! They are unframed, and probably either printed on canvas or mounted, which gives a clean gallery look - one of our faves!

Photo Walls Made Easy

Since this seems to be a very popular topic based on our feedback, we have decided to do our best to offer more topics in this area!

With this post we will point out a few simple steps to help you outline the perfect space in your home to create a photo art wall! Go to any home and you are bound to find plenty of empty wall space. Why? Because typically people find hanging portraits a difficult and challenging task.

There is also the fear of putting holes in the wall only to find you hate the way the portraits look when they are hung. Well, there are solutions for these problems!

Perfect Display For Nooks & Crannies

We know there are a large range of consumers who love displaying their photographs, but with this large diverse group we also know that everyone has different tastes in regards to size, placement and quantity of pictures they would like to display.

This idea is perfect for the photo lover who wants a simple yet dramatic look. With smaller sized images and a combination of a few other art pieces, you can create a big impact in a small space.

Things To Consider For Your Photo Wall Display

How do those magazines always seem to come up with those awesome photo display ideas? Why is is when you try the same photo display idea at home it never looks the same?

One reason is that most average people do not really take the time to evaluate their homes and spaces properly! Every wall display you see in a magazine has been carefully planned and designed to coordinate to the style and layout of the room. I know, it seems like it should be easier - but the extra steps you take to design your wall will be worth effort when you see how beautifully it all comes together.

Photo Wall Display Made Easy

As a photographer one of the most common dilemmas I see my clients face is how to hang portraits on the wall. I was finding that many clients order 5" x 7" portraits and maybe an 8" x 10" because they did not know what to do with any other sizes! I am a big believer that pictures are meant to be on the wall for friends and family to appreciate, not stuffed in a box or an album.

I will be dedicating many articles to this topic, but to start off I am going to share some templates that showcase how larger images can be displayed in your home in a variety of situations. These are meant to be inspirational and offer ideas as to how you can create a space in your own environment.

I use these templates in my portrait work, they were created by one of my favorite photographers Lena Hyde and the team at Design Aglow who are a photographers dream store!
