Creating a Photo Wall Display

If you are like us and have lots of pictures and want to display them (especially when they are of my family).  A photo wall can be the perfect way to do this!


Creating a montage of photos can be a bit tricky (and intimidating) to figure out where to start and then how to balance the sizes and layout.  I came across these picture placement samples that I had to share with you!  It gives 12 wonderful examples of how to start / layout a picture wall.

These creative ideas are a great resource to use to give you a starting point.  Once you get arranging, expand or tweak the layout to fit the photos you have.

Just a couple tips from us to you...

1. The center of your photo display wall should be at eye level (between 60″ – 66″)

2. Use similar frames or matting, or display all color or all black & white photos

3. Vary the frame sizes

4.Introduce a focal point

5. Mix it up – display photos as well as signs and other unique wall decor

6. Before putting nails into the wall, layout all your pictures on the floor and move things around until your arrangement is exactly how you want it!  

Then hang them one by one onto the wall...
