We tell how to make stunning collages and beautifully decorate the wall with photos, so that the design pleased the eye and inspired every day!
You happened to be in homes, where the interior is thought out to the smallest detail, every thing in its place, the shades are chosen ideally and nowhere do not rise anyway and still something is missing? A bright poster or a collage of photographs on the wall transforms the room to be unrecognizable: absorbing the values, tastes and hobbies of hosts, captured in artistic images, the premises takes a finished look and becomes truly relative. However, the chaotic location of the pictures does not give the desired effect: logic should be traced in the selection and layout of the photo for the wall decor.
How to beautifully spend photos on the wall: the laws of harmony
Democratic and accessibility - the main arguments in favor of the design of walls by photographs. Now even the amateur photographers are obtained high-quality pictures. In contrast to painting, the photodecore requires almost nothing obliges and with competent design will fit into any modern interior - from neoclassics to minimalism. Nevertheless, it is not necessary to drag every successful frame on the wall: photos acting in the role of thematic accents should be combined with a common topic:
- Landscapes and seasons;
- Photographs of one person in different images;
- Hobbies and interests;
- love story;
- family tree;
- significant dates;
- children;
- animals;
- Travel, etc.
The visual row is selected, taking into account the concept of the interior and destination of the room. Romantic frames look great in the bedroom, but in the living room and even more so in the office they are not a place. Vintage photos are not joined with cold aesthetics of High-tech style, and gorgeous panoramic landscapes do not sound completely on a tiny kitchen in Khrushchev.

Basic Rules Layout Photo
Having exhausted photos, set the emphasis correctly. Group photos according to the rules of the art composition, using classic wall decor layout schemes - and you won't lose!
In the design of single photos, it is customary to proceed from the color and texture of the base. The color range of full-format pictures, focusing all the attention on itself, is built either on the principle of contrast, or on the principle of harmony. Be sure to make a correction to the functionality and the style of the room: bright colors and contrasting combinations - a good choice for a youth living room, and it is better to choose a more relaxed range for a bedroom and a work office. In the design of nursery it is recommended to use warm cheerful tones. Unnatural screaming shades are too excited by the child's nervous system, caprises and hysterics provoke.

Several large photos are easiest to position in a horizontal row. Vertical accommodation of images looks good only in rooms with high fees - from three meters and more. The central principle of grouping decor focuses the attention of the viewer on the main idea of the composition. Select a central element in the selection of the photo, around which the other photos will be located - on the right and left, at the top and bottom or in a circular direction. More complex schemes are built by combining snapshots of different sizes and forms and turns of rectangular photos at different angles.
Before you take for a drill, sketch the approximate scheme for placing photos on paper to make a timely amendment and do not make extra holes in the wall.
It is not necessary to turn the biggest photo into the semantic center of the composition: it is not important, but an accurate expression of thought. Small lyrical sketches look very impressive in the frame of several pairs of symmetric photos in the order of increasing size.
Asymmetric location of photographs enhances the notes of spontaneity and ease in the interior design. I want dynamics and pressure - place the biggest image in the left or right end of the row, and behind it there are two or three rows of photographs in bed.

Photos are beneficial to position in places, which most often drops:
- in the living room above the sofa or between armchairs;
- in the office over the desk;
- in the kitchen in the dining area;
- on a fireplace shelf or pipe;
- above the stairs steps;
- In the bedroom over the headboard or above the tab, in the recreation area.
Photos of large sizes are recommended to be located at the top of the wall, and miniature photos - in the bottom: then they will be more convenient to consider. The optimal is the location of the wall decor on the line of sight of the seated person - at an altitude of 1.5 meters above the floor level.
So that the images do not merge, keep the distance between the pictures at least 3-4 cm. If you intend to place the photo collage or solitary photo in the recreation area or soft corner, count 30 cm from the back of the bed and the highest sofa pillow - then the furniture will not observe the review.

Collage of photos on the wall do it yourself
Photos related to the common plot can be combined into a collage, placing several pictures in one frame or on one canvase. Also, the role of the binder can be slogan or a sticker with a neutral ornament, located above the composition. If you wish, the collage can be turned into an accent wall - it will be a worthy alternative to photographers from the store. When instead of the lobe landscape, the image filled with personal meaning is welcomed, you can say with confidence that you are at home!
The collage is not necessary to form from the pictures of the same size, genre and style. To give the speakers, dilute the images of people and animals with landscapes and still lifes. Full-color photos are recommended to shade with monochrome and sepped frames, and there are frames with compositely loaded images with a predominance of free space. Sometimes it is possible to spectacularly position the photo against the background of the complex ornament of wallpaper or panel, newspaper, graphic and geometric prints. There is no single recipe, how beautiful to arrange and decorate the wall with photos - the most successful solutions are often detected experimentally!

Form shape can be any. Put out intricate geometric patterns from round, square, rectangular and oval photo frames on the walls, withstanding a single rhythm - it turns out a stunning painting-puzzle. Symmetric curly collages are convenient to use when designing corners. The first thing that comes to the mind is a heart or butterfly, but you can come up with a complex polygonal composition or an ornamental ornament in Celtic style.

Current ideas with 3D photocollages
In the embossed collages, photographs are combined with elements of a three-dimensional decor. We bring to your attention the most popular options.
- Tree with photos on branches - a great idea for married photos. The trunk with branches can be drawn or use vinyl stickers.
- An alternative solution is to place photographs of close and distant relatives into a grid of a decorative cord and designate related bonds with multi-colored twisted thread: one color - for spouses, the second - for children and parents, the third is for brothers and sisters.
- Decorating wall clock photos - elegant variation on the topic of time. Position the numbers on the dial photographs of your child or senior relatives in different periods of life or seasonal landscapes filmed in different months of the year. You can also buy a clockwork in the decor store and build a dial from photos. The photo of a larger size is fixed opposite the numbers "3", "6", "9" and "12", and the photo is smaller - opposite other numbers.
- The design of the interior in the style of pop art and contemporary allows the use of numbers, letters, inscriptions and logos in collages. To collapse in the children's photograph of the son or daughter in several rows, and in the center or from the edge, place a large letter with which the name of the child begins, and the best footage of the wedding photo shoot can be grouped around the wedding duty.
- In children's bedrooms and youth studios, photographs are embedded directly into the wall inscriptions. The contours of the letters, numbers and other characters are applied to the dense cardboard, then cut out the desired images the desired by the stationery knife and placed behind the cardboard base.
- Alternation of photos with an empty framework - a common reception of decorating vintage interiors based on the effect of deceived expectations. A sudden sequence breaks in the situation an intrigue element.
The design of the collage must be harmonized with the furnishings of the room. Proper geometric shapes make the honor of strict interiors with a strong influence of high-tech, minimalism or neoclassics. Asymmetric compositions successfully look in modern eclectic interiors, and smooth rounded lines are fitted with the contemplative mood of modern, ethnics and boho.
Wall clearance by photos within
A photograph or collage in the role of decorative accents should be distinguished on the background of the surrounding environment. The easiest way to emphasize the special status of the decor with the help of the frame - it gives the composition to completeness. So that the stylish color spot does not turn into an annoying Belmo, pick up the material and design of the frame in the environment.
- The tree is associated with classics, retro and country. Mass options: varnish, carving and gilding - for large palace styles, rustic surfaces - for ethnic and village interiors. The painted tree, fading from time to time, is laid in the concept of the style of Provence and other vintage directions of interior design, and no maiden bedroom in the style of Shebbi-Chic does not do without a choped wooden headset.
- Polyurethane and other plastics - budget replacement of wood and precious metals. The polymer framework is more resistant to temperature differences, moisture fluctuations and UV radiation. Plastic frames with photo printing produce a strong impression: the picture in the picture is the beginning of surrealism!
- Aluminum and stainless alloys are the most suitable framing for capricious black and white photos. In the complex interweaving of silver-gray shades, there will probably have a faithful tone. Metal frameworks withstand the maximum loads and perfectly fit into the laconic aesthetics of high-tech styles and constructive minimalism.
Professional photographers do not advise placing photos in a frame with a coating glass, which throws away the glare, distortes colors and does not allow to consider the image in all details. To protect photos from damage, it is better to use a softless organic glass with a layer of UV filter.

The color of the photo frame should not merge with the image. Otherwise, the choice of shades is not limited: are welcome both harmonious and contrasting solutions. As a rule, a bright framework is used in the avant-garde directions of interior design and in the design of children's premises, when it is required to create a feeling of liveliness and zador. In the design of small photographs, white and colored cardboard passecut are used.

Within one composition, the use of photo frames of different sizes and widths is allowed, but it is better not worth combining different materials and textures. The rustic framework is better supplemented with thematic decor - which is where the invisible expanses of the creative open! An experienced needlewoman will not be difficult to beat the scene line of collage. Lace, macrame, flowers made of paper and polymer clay, beads, pebbles, mosaic and figures attract the attention of the viewer to the most successful pictures. The vacation photos from the southern seas are decorated with shells, starfish and vintage imitation of navigation instruments, and fans widths and gic-chic their own "chips", which will be eager to make a company avant-garde photo.
- For the photo in the surround framework, it is important to correctly select the angle of lighting, so that the edges of the framing do not discard the shadow to the image.
- Photos that stairs are decorated, corridors and lobby, look spectacularly in a double frame. Many crawl double frames independently: back from the usual photo frame 5-10 cm and take it around the perimeter with overhead moldings from vinyl or polyurethane.
- Large-sized vertical pictures and photos in massive frames can not be hung, but put it on the floor, leaning against the wall - it creates a relaxed atmosphere of bohemility that reigned in the attic of Montmartre.
- Landscape photos are placed in bright convex frames to create a panoramic effect.
- Replacing the cardboard base by the second sheet of glass creates the illusion of volume.
Non-standard methods for fastening photos
Frames and baguettes are not the only option of fastening photos to the walls. The design of photos on the wall with decorative cords, ribbons and twine is widely practiced. The lace or braid is tied by a node to ceiling beams or a cable stretched along the wall, and the free edge is glued to the back of the photo.
You can also attach photographs to the rope, wire or electric garlands using decorative clothespins and even ordinary wardrobe hangers.
In lofts there are photos on the suspensions in the form of chains. In rustic, ethnic and eco-interiors, the basis for fastening the wall decor serves dry branches, roots and squabbles of bizarre forms.

Vinyl stickers and moldings from polyurethane imitate openwork frames and relieve from the need to drill the walls. However, remember that removing the photo from the wall without prejudice to the image, most likely, it will not work, so just in case, just in case are backing up photos of photographs. In apartments with stucco photography placed on moldings, and in modern interiors - on racks and open shelves.

Photo - one of the most expressive tools in the hands of a designer. Photographs help us express our feelings and thoughts in artistic images and keep in memory of the expensive moments. The magic power of photo art fills the rooms with echoes of family stories, endowing the home furnishings internal dynamics and inimitable charisma.
