Putting photo canvases, photographs or posters up is a simple but incredibly effective way to add your personal touch to space in your own home. Use wall art, photographs of landscapes, family and friends, or even favourite animals to customise your space and show off your interests. You could go for canvas prints, posters and photographs, or even customizable wallpaper. The possibilities are endless.

There is a wealth of creative approaches when designing a photowall; you could make a collage of your favourite photographs with friends or family to remind you of good times shared or use memories to tell a story that's important to you.

Below are a few tips for helping you get started choosing where to place your images and make the most of your space.

Every corner

Add a canvas or foam mounted photograph to every nook and cranny in hallways or between doors. This is a fantastic way to create something eye-catching where normally it would be a blank wall. Always look at making the most out of small spaces, as an unloved little corner can suddenly become a centrepiece with the addition of some fantastic art.

Photo series

Having a series of photographs from one event can tell a story. Whether that is a wedding, a child’s birthday or a holiday with friends, just make sure you keep an even gap between each image. If mounting above the coach, keep them at eye level and try to keep photos at a similar colour scheme, so they tie well together.

Show an unused corner some love by creating a collage with different size canvases or photographs spreading across both walls. Choose a style or colour that goes well together. Remember you could always add frames to your photographs or canvases to create an attractive display.

Guarantee sweet dreams

Your bedroom may not the most obvious place to hang canvases or put up mounted photographs, but with the low lighting and relaxed atmosphere, this can be perfect for displaying your favourite moments. Two perfectly aligned pieces of wall art above the bed will create symmetry in your space. You may also consider having a framed canvas to add a sense of elegance and style to the bedroom. Calming photographs of nature, landscapes or wildlife are perfect for a sleepy setting.

Subtle difference

Wall art can be perfect for creating personal space in a shared bedroom, which will help your children to feel like they have their space and show off their personality and passions. Hanging wall art can create the invisible divide in a room while letting your children express their different styles. Try using two different colour schemes, maybe a cityscape on one side and countryside on the other. Use photographs of the child or their favourite childhood hero to help distinguish whose side belongs to who.

No walls needed

Relive your favourite memories and people by placing canvases on shelving and alcoves or above the fireplace. Perhaps mix them with different accessories such as candles and plants. Don’t be afraid to stack and layer canvases and mounted photographs to create a casual look. Coordinate by ensuring accessories are colour complimentary.

Hang them

A really simple but thoughtful way of displays photos is by hanging them on a string with pegs; this can look great as bunting above the fireplace or in the kid’s bedroom. Add different images of different sizes to the same piece of string to create an engaging format, and pair up with wall mounted canvases for a layered look.
