Have you ever wondered the best way to display prints and photos in an orderly way? You don’t want a wall of topsy-turvy picture frames that look old-fashioned and dated. What you want is something that can be inspirational, modern and of visual interest.

We know that you want your home to look its best, it is also a beautiful décor touch to any home. It can be an inspirational feature wall in your home. Here is how you can get the best look!

Try an antique wall!

It is always an interesting style to match modern and vintage paintings and prints. Try to display them over an antique dresser in black. There is always room to mix and match materials and colours. Have a theme to make the area look uncluttered.

Display a gallery wall over a couch

A lot of us struggle with what to display over a couch. A mirror or one painting just looks uninspired. Try to add a gallery wall over your couch. The best way to design it before you add over the couch is to design what you want on the floor. You can plan and make changes easily before you commit to hanging them on the wall.

A basket wall

A big design choice for this year is displaying baskets on a wall. It puts a definite spin on a gallery wall. Try to add various textures and design baskets with a dark-painted wall as your canvas.

Mixed media design

Try a gallery wall that tells a story. Add various objects and décor pieces intertwined between your prints or photos. For example, a modern farmhouse design could be adding a washboard, vintage cake pans and lanterns. Design this in a corner nook to give it a definite eye-catching look.

Staircase gallery

Need to add a little pizzazz to your stairway – look no further than adding a gallery wall. Add photos or prints ascending the staircase wall. Try black and white photos for a different look.

Frame wall

Who says you need pictures in your picture frames? Gather some antique picture frames that are empty of photos and glass. Add picture frames of various sizes and shapes and paint them white. Add a couple of shutters to frame the sides. This can be a cute inspiration over an old trunk or bench in a bedroom.
