Pictures are a valuable part of our lives and everyone likes to capture their best moments and look upon their happiest memories. It’s very rare finding a home without picture frames and for a good reason. Pictures are one of the many things that turn a house into a home. Create an accent wall in your home with your favorite photos. Bring your photos out of the albums and on to the walls. This way you’ll get to relive your treasured moments and as the days go by, the accent wall might become the favorite part of your home and bring a smile to your loved ones. Keep in mind you can create this wall everywhere; from the staircase wall, to your bedroom and living room walls.

There are many ways to create a unique wall with picture frames, and here are some tips to help inspire you make your very own.


  •  One of the more modern and simple options is to use same size square or rectangle frames to create a bigger square or rectangle. This will give you a nice, clean look without cluttering your wall too much.

  *Tip: You can also do the same thing with different sized frames and still create a neat looking square or rectangle.

  •              Use different sized frames and create a wave effect. Doing this helps to give a more interesting, yet simple effect to your wall.  If you want to be more creative use different pattern and colored frames and showcase your “mix and match” talent to the fullest.

*Tip: Knowing what kind of style you’re going for will help you in narrowing down which frames, colors and patterns to choose.

  •              A unique and cool way to spice it up is to incorporate letters and words in your photo walls. You can choose words like: “Family”, “Friends”, “Love”, or use letters like W for wedding (if you’re doing a wedding photo wall. Another fun way to use letters is to use beautiful quotes or sentences you like.

*      *Tip: If you want to be more creative, you can add vintage or modern decals (depending on your taste) or even some of your favorite wall features among your wall arrangement. This accent wall will make a graphic statement while making your place look elegant and bold.  

  •      To add more variations in your photo wall design, add some oval shaped frames. Oval frames are very appealing to look at, especially among rectangles and squares. It breaks the monotonous look and gives your wall a very chic look. 

*Tip: if you’re looking for a classier look, consider mixing mirrors and frames together to design your walls.

  • If you’re looking for a more one of a kind and quirky looking wall, try to draw the frames in different sizes on the wall and add the pictures as you please. This option will give you a limitless possibility to be creative with.

*Tip: Have some of the drawn frames empty, so your wall wouldn’t be too busy or cluttered.

***Important to keep in mind: Before doing any of these designs, have it planed out on your wall. You can see how it will look before making any final decisions and you have the flexibility of changing the design as you go.
