A few weeks back, I installed a beautiful wall portrait display in my client's home. Every time I do this, I am reminded of how fabulous it is to live with our images everyday--not just on our phones or computers or Facebook, but to really LIVE with our images. We've become so accustomed to seeing those images on our phones, but have you thought about what it might be like to have those beautiful images to admire and treasure in sizes larger than that phone screen? How many wonderful images do you have that are lost or forgotten on hard drives?
But here's where a lot of my clients get stuck:
How do you go about creating a wall grouping and then actually getting it onto the wall? Wanna know how I do it?
First I measured the wall--side to side and top to bottom. We decided how much of the wall we wanted to fill--this gave me preliminary dimensions to work with. We decided what images we wanted to work with--not necessarily the sizes yet; only choosing the images. Then we worked to decide the sizes for the display. Some images lend themselves to being a focal point. In this case, the portrait of the whole family was to be the focal point.

If you like the look of photographs with other mementos or images, how about incorporating your family portraits into a wall display as sort of a three dimensional scrapbook? Canvas or framed prints with glass may be classic ways of displaying your portraits, but why not create a display using some of the fabulous new products available? Have questions? Want some ideas? Call me for a consultation on how to get those images off your computer and into your life!
