DESIGN IDEAS & GALLERY WALL INSPIRATION FOR 2024
I’m such a huge fan of displaying your family portraits around your home and there is nothing I love more than sharing some inspiration. Today I’m sharing some of my favorite design ideas for using the images from your maternity, newborn and family sessions with me. The living room is still the most popular choice for where families choose to hang images, but as you’ll see, there are so many rooms and spaces in your home where you can be enjoying your pictures every day. I hope this gives you some inspiration on how you can refresh the spaces in your home and find new ways to get the most out of your beautiful images by turning your portraits into true works of art!
If you’ve had a session with me in the past, only purchased digital files and still haven’t found the time to do anything with your images, it’s never too late to reach out! I’m always happy to design wall art and albums so that you can enjoy your images daily and have artwork to pass on to your children.
FRAMED PICTURES MAKE YOUR ENTRYWAY INVITING
Displaying special images in the entryway of your home is such a wonderful and unique way to welcome your guests and to put a smile on your face when you get home. I have special software to show you exactly what your own images will look like to scale on the walls in your home, right down to the frame color if you’d like to create a gorgeous wall display of your own. You can feel confident that you are choosing the sizes, colors and images that will look the best in your space before your order ever goes to production.
DISPLAYING FAMILY PICTURES IN YOUR BATHROOM
The bathroom might feel like an unexpected choice for hanging your family pictures but I can’t think of a more beautiful view to enjoy while relaxing in this lovely porcelain bathtub. This large single framed image is a show stopper in this modern farmhouse bathroom.
FRAMED PICTURES CAN BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LIVING ROOM
A group of 3 framed fine art prints works so perfectly over a large sofa in your living room to bring beauty and balance to the space. I’m a huge fan of gold and have multiple gold framing options to lend a pop of luxury to your home.
DISPLAYING FRAMED PORTRAITS IN THE HALLWAY
This peaceful newborn image is the perfect choice for the entryway into this lovely nursery suite and will be a timeless work of art long after baby’s crib is replaced by a big girl bed.
DISPLAYING ARTWORK IN THE NURSERY OR BEDROOM
I love the look of a single large piece of custom artwork hanging over the changing table. This precious portrait of a newborn with his family is from my studio in Centennial, Colorado.
FRAMED ARTWORK IN THE KIDS PLAYROOM
How sweet are these portraits hanging over the bench in this dream of a playroom?! The beautiful images pair perfectly with the light hardwood frame and matches the modern Scandinavian design of the room flawlessly. I use the highest quality acrylic in all of my frames so you don’t have to worry about broken glass or your family’s safety when a ball or toy is inevitably thrown inside the house.
MAKING THE MOST OUT OF UNEXPECTED AND UNUSED SPACES IN YOUR HOME
This once empty wall space has new meaning with a simple portrait. Adding beautiful artwork to simple unused spaces can bring new life to your home. You don’t need large walls or huge spaces to find a lovely spot to hang a family treausure.
If you have spaces in your home that you’d like to hang family photos, I’d love to help show you what your redesigned space could look like. I use images of the actual walls in your home and take all of the guesswork out of designing your very own gallery wall. I’ll create custom layouts using your images so you can see just how beautiful your finished artwork will be! If you’d like to learn more, let’s chat!
