Decorating walls with photographs: styles, layout, themes and examples in the interior.

Photo card design options

There are a variety of design options used to decorate a wall.

In frames

Photo frames are most often selected taking into account the overall style and color palette of the entire room. For decoration, you can choose either frames made in one color or multi-colored frames of different thicknesses.

For bright walls, a lighter and thinner frame for photos is perfect, and for neutral walls you can choose dark frames that will create an interesting contrasting accent.

Without frames

When placed correctly, photos without frames create a lively, natural and unusual composition that looks very original. Due to the lack of a frame, such photographs fit perfectly into the interior.

Frames are also not used for modular photo paintings or multi-panels consisting of segments of any shape and size.

Black and white

Retro photos or black and white photographs, decorated with classic frames, with a symmetrical or arbitrary arrangement on the wall, will undoubtedly become the main element of the interior and will bring unique originality.

Polaroid

The miniature format of Polaroid film photographs, supplemented with a certain phrase or a memorable date, will look especially cute on the wall and remind you of pleasant moments.

Grid

With the help of a small card, in the shape of a square, you can decorate the wall in a variety of ways, for example, completely cover the surface or create even rows at the same distance from each other.
