5 ways to put up prints on your wall

Updated: Jul 10, 2020

Today I am going to talk about one of the most important elements in interiors that are having prints in decor and how they can elevate the whole look and feel of the space. Having a wall full of prints, artworks, and photos is a good way for starting a conversation. Anyone who steps into your home stops, observes, and comments. It's that wall that holds a special space in your heart.


Let's get on to creating a wall full of prints and artwork


1. Have a variety of frames

I feel having a variety of frames in different materials like wood, glass, metal in matte and glossy textures creates interest for the eye. Adding 3D pieces that come out of the wall adds an extra dimension to the walls. Pop of variety also helps in creating a cheerful zone. My favorite frames are available on zoomin.com in five different frame sizes and finishes.

2. Narrative Walls


Narrative walls are those that materialize into a story.

Displaying the history of the family, to know your roots and getting lost in the black and white era is almost a favorite part of any family conversation.


Having artwork along the staircase wall or just above the doors, especially choosing the right prints and photos for it is important as it can make a huge difference to the blank space and on top of it helps in adding character to it.

Another fun way to put your prints together is in the form of a collage but in a framed grid. Clean lines of the frames elevate the whole look. You can check out the 'collage poster option' on zoomin.com. They have the best ones with cute quotes!

Displaying a large frame creates a focus and also sets the story of the space. It's that piece that you want to be inspired or reminded by again and again. Check out 'enlargement' in decor option on zoomin.com

3. Proper Lighting

Lights make a big difference to the frame and also helps in creating ambiance.

4. Layout


Once you have the wall and the prints of your choice. Its time to arrange them on the wall, but for that take a newspaper and trace the frames and cut them according to the size and fix it on the wall with a masking tape according to the desired layout. This will help you save time and also from hanging the frames in the wrong places.


5. Let your gallery wall grow


Just like all things in life, let your gallery wall grow, evolve, and change with time. You can mix and match old pieces and new artwork to create a fusion chic look. They are a great way to catalog your taste and memories, so keep creating and growing them! I have mixed and matched the square and card prints from zoomin.com
