Making a photo wall: the different formations
Do you want to create a cool photo wall with different photos and wall art, but are you not sure in which formation you want to do this? We help you with creative photo wall ideas for the wall and show you in which formations you can hang the wall decorations .
In addition to the different formations, we help you which paintings are fun to use with which formation, as some extra inspiration!
1. Line it up!
Are you looking for a tight formation? Hanging paintings and photos in a straight line is perfect! You can go in many directions with this formation. You could use 2 larger paintings , or 4 smaller ones. These factors depend on how big the room is and which way you want to go with it.
If you are going to make a photo wall in a line formation, it will fit especially well in the living room above the sofa or on a long, empty wall. The 'line formation' is one of the photo wall ideas that can be applied well in the living room, for example above the sofa, or on a long empty wall. You can also make a nice photo wall in the hall ! It does not matter whether you have a large or small hall, you simply adjust the number of paintings or photos! Which paintings do we use for the 'line it up' formation?
With the line it up formation it is very nice to take different posters from one collection in the same theme. Consider, for example, the abstract collection . You can choose three beautiful paintings that match each other nicely. Or two or four cool posters from the Asia collection , which will complement each other completely!
2. Create a Zig-Zag Photo Wall
Do you want a different approach to creating a photo wall than you often see? Hang your photos or paintings in a zigzagging formation! What do we mean by this? Working with heights on the wall. So you hang one photo above the middle of the wall and the other a little below the middle, another at the same height as the first photo and so on. You get a bit of a 'high-low' effect. If you want to make a photo wall and use this formation, it gives a playful effect and is slightly less 'basic' than normal!
The Zig-Zag formation is cool to apply to a wall where there is room for it, as it takes several photos or paintings to create this formation. This formation looks very nice on a long hall! Which paintings do we use in the 'Zig-Zag' formation?
Since the Zig-Zag formation is a 'busier' formation, it is nice to use paintings from several collections in these formations but with the same color theme. Some nice collections to combine for a Zig-Zag formation are the photography and typography collection for a modern and timeless effect!
3. One eye-catcher on the wall
Using a formation and creating a photo wall is a great idea and can give just the fill to your wall you need! But if you want a calmer effect, you can also go for one eye-catcher on the wall! Then use 1 large painting for a robust effect.
Depending on the wall on which you want to hang the eye-catcher, you choose your size! Do you have a small piece of wall that you would like to see filled? Then hang a small painting there! But do you have a lot of wall space to spare? Then large paintings and works of art are very cool. Which paintings do we use for the 'eye-catcher' formation?
In most cases, an eye-catcher is a large work of art that completes the interior. That is why it is important that the painting fits well with the rest of the interior and continues what you want to radiate with the rest of the house. If you have a very sleek and clean interior, it might be nice to add some color. Actually, all paintings can be an eye-catcher.
