I’ve been gathering wall display ideas like crazy lately, and since the fatigue of pregnancy is keeping me from doing pretty much anything, this is an easy post for this morning
. Enjoy! (I should mention that these pictures were all snagged off Pinterest)
Sigh…big huge photo murals are my new thing. Not that we have anywhere to put one in this house. But when we build, this will definitely be built into the plans.
If you look on the right side of this next photo, there are built in photo shelf/frames in the wall! What an awesome way to showcase your favorite photos! I wonder how it would look with little spot lights at the top of each cubby to light the pictures?
Sigh…I have no words for this next one. Those big giant grainy, dreamy black and whites just grab my soul.
See? Big huge photo murals are the coolest!
And because I’m feeling extra sentimental today, I stumbled across this from our old house and just miss our little space s much.

I’ve been getting quite a few requests for wall display ideas lately, so I thought it was time for another On The Walls post! Here are some of my favorite inspirational displays right now:

Hope that helps a little. I’ve got some more great ideas up my sleeve, but those will have to wait until next time

wall displays part 2 | Peoria, IL family photographer

My wall display inspiration posts are back with part 2! The first wall display inspiration post showed one of my favorite displays we have up in our house, as well as the photo wallpaper I’m currently giddy about.
This time I’m going to show you an unfinished project going on in our guest bedroom. Right now most of the images that fill the frames are just stand-ins until I figure out what I really want to go in them. Where did this beautiful idea come from? I have three words for you my friends Young. House. Love. Do yourself a favor and cozy up with your laptop and plan to spend a few hours oohing and aahing over their step by step account of the renovation of their house. Amazing.
I am in the process of collecting photos of the way my clients are displaying their portraits in their homes. I love to see how my work comes to life on the walls of its family’s home! If you’re a past client and would like to show me how you’ve displayed your portraits from our session, click on the contact me button at the top of the blog to send me an email. I would love to hear from you!
Another clustery display I love, relating to last week’s display idea, from Apartment Therapy. Yum!
And my last idea this time comes from Ria Lee Photography. This is her studio, but I can so see this hanging up in any kiddos bedroom. How fun is that?!

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…
