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.

mixing mirrors and frames together to design your walls.

wall wouldn’t be too busy or cluttered.
