Create an entire wall of photographs
If digital has revolutionized the relationship to photography, we are still very few to do anything hundreds or thousands of clichés that are piling up on the hard drives of our computers. Why not print them and proudly display them on the wall? And so much to do, as much invest an entire wall! Wondering how to create an original and aesthetic collage? Follow this guide which will explain how to hang your photographs on the wall in a harmonious way or opt for recycled solutions of the most beautiful effect.
A wide choice of possibilities
If there is a wall that lends itself perfectly to the massive hanging of photo frames, it is the one of the staircase. With its rising lines, it allows to create a continuity and to tell a story as one climbs the steps. For example, you can hang pictures of your slippers taken at different ages, and recreate their childhood and adolescence on the wall.
Then, in the other rooms, make pretty geometric shapes or more abstract. You can print photos of the same size, in landscape format, and create a rectangle that starts from the ground and rises to the ceiling by perfectly aligning the angles of the photographs. An alternative for rooms, for example, is to make a heart, perfect for a romantic atmosphere!
You do not have to develop pictures of the same size, you can also hang larger or smaller pieces. If you are a maniac, choose straight lines, and opt for the first solution by aligning the photographs. In the other case, you can perfectly marry photos of different sizes, in portrait or landscape format, but hang the biggest piece in the center. You will then pose the other frames haphazardly next to each other. But to keep some harmony, mentally draw a diagonal and hang a frame at the top right and a frame at the bottom left that stand out from others.
In color or black? Whether for photo frames or for them strictly speaking, two schools compete. Contemporary interiors are better for shades of gray because they avoid the impression of crushing that can induce a large number of photographs with disparate colors. Nevertheless, the wall of color photos can be the most beautiful effect if you opt for a dominant filter to affix on all the photos or if you space a little frames.
Finally, know that there are specialized companies that can print you very large posters or even wallpaper with your photos, that you will stick to the chosen wall!
A trendy photo wall recovered
A solution is needed at this time, that of hangers. On the entire surface of the wall, nail pegs at regular intervals on which you hang hangers. Add clips on them to trap a large picture. In the same way, you can stretch several rows of cords and come and fix your photos on it always with big silver or black tongs. You will give your room the look of a photo lab. Another solution is to scour wooden writing tablets that you stick to the wall. You can thus pinch your most beautiful images in the clip provided for this purpose at the top of the tablet. Prefer black and white photos that will look great on the wood. An idea can also be to recover naturally aged parquet slats, which you will cut into several pieces of different dimensions. Then, fix them to the wall by alternating sizes and formats (landscape, portrait), and paste your photos on it!
For those who do not wish to drill holes, here is a solution very design and simple to set up. For example, choose Japanese paper tape that you cut in different sizes and widths and fix your photos. The black color models are a marvel! Finally, you can hang from the ceiling a plastic bag with boxes in which you insert the photos. With all these tips, you will be surrounded by your most beautiful images from morning to night!
