After your photo session, you receive your gorgeous photos, now what do you do with them? Sure, you can print a few for parents and grandparents. Maybe you'll use them for your holiday or Christmas cards. Okay, so you print a few off to update some frames or put them on your work desk area.
What if you took those beautiful photos and made a stunning gallery wall in your home to display them? Now, that is a great idea! I'll get you started with a few inspirational ideas.
Grid Photo Wall
This symmetrical and evenly spaced layout has very clean lines and makes a big statement in your home. It is customizable to your space, and you can choose from a variety of frame sizes and borders.
Picture Ledge
Whether you have 1 long photo ledge or a couple stacked over each other, there is so much versatility. My husband and I have built multiple for our home. There are 2 large ledges - one in the master bedroom and one in the living room for gallery walls. We also made 3 smaller ledges for my office to stack, and I am constantly rearranging and decorating them.
Hanging Photo Frames
This is a beautiful and well-curated way to collage your photo frames. The stacking of the frames allows depth while the wall pegs and cord add texture.
Rustic Wall Display
Adding your photos to an old window or ladder can create a wonderful backdrop with perfect square spaces to fill. This would definitely depend on your current interior house decor.
Large Frames or Canvases
Make an even BIGGER statement with these large canvases or frames paired together. Similar to the grid wall, these photos make a large impact on the room, but with few photos. I've heard great things about Smallwoods products for this type of gallery wall.
Once you decide on the direction you want to go for your photo gallery wall, there are plenty of tutorials on DIY blogs and Pinterest. Head over there for the tools you'll need and the step-by-step guidance to make your dream photo gallery wall into reality!
This makes me want to completely redo one of my walls now. Tell me, which photo gallery wall is your favorite? Can you picture it in your home? Does the task seem overwhelming or daunting? If so, take it one step at a time. Start small with a few frames here and there and work your way up to a larger wall. OR you could order from an online retailer that specializes in large prints.
