5 rules for a gorgeous photo wall

A photo wall can optically influence the perception of space, visually expand the walls, add a personal touch, emphasize the design concept and style and make the interior more dynamic.

Everything is important in a photo - colors, design, frame, as well as location on the wall. One of the first rules for photo walls is the place of the photo.

Rule 1 – Choose the colors

The photo will affect the interior. If the color palette of the picture is in harmony with the color scheme of the room, then the photo will make the interior more stylish, balanced and harmonious. If the color scheme of the photo contrasts with the room, then this photo will add dynamics to the interior.

Rule 2 – Choosing the right place

The subject of the picture should be in harmony with the functional purpose of the interior and its style. For example, landscapes will look better in the living room while flowers and still life - in the kitchen or dining room.

Rule 3 - Selection of frames

As a rule, photos are hung in frames that can be made from different materials. The most versatile frames are made of wood or metal. The general rule is that black and white photos look best in black or white frames and colorful photos in light frames.

Rule 4 – Accent the image

It is best to frame your photos, especially small ones, with photo mount. Wide mount will help align canvas prints by color. And they are indispensable for small photos. Split canvas prints are an exception. Usually, those are hung frameless.

Rule 5 - Arrange the photo wall

You can group the photos on the wall or hang them separately. The best way is to hang the largest shot in the center of the composition, and place the smaller ones around it.
