wall displays | Peoria IL lifestyle photographer
Posted on September 16, 2010
A question I am asked pretty regularly by my clients is how can we display our prints?! And if a client doesn’t ask me this question, I ask them to start thinking about it. I know that you’ve all got a shoebox full hard drive full of pictures you’ve taken over the years just collecting dust. And what about those gorgeous prints you ordered from your photo shoot?! I heard someone say a while back that they “heard” it was tacky to have pictures of yourself up in your home. WHAT?!?!? I hope whoever said that never comes to my house…because 98% of the artwork gracing our walls is of us! When something like photography is so important to our family, there’s no way we wouldn’t have it all over our walls!
So, every now and then I thought it would be helfpul to pass along some inspiration to you. I’m going to start out with my current favorite wall display in our house:
I just love it!! This was inspired by a page from a PB Teen catalogue . Let’s just stop for a second and talk about my possibly unhealthy obsession with all things Pottery Barn. I just adore it. Period. So I stumbled across these little beauties from PB Teen. How cute are they?!
I LOVE the idea of big prints! I have vowed to never print anything smaller than 11×14 for my own home…and I challenge all of you to do the same. In the first 2 photos, those are each 11×14 prints, without mats. The space between the windows is 103″. I’ve also got 16×20′s, 20×20′s, 30×40′s and more hanging around my house and I plan on showing you in the future, so stay tuned 
!
Speaking of going big….when we are lucky enough to have a playroom for the kiddos…this is a non-negotiable must-have!
I mean….wow…
