I know where you have been…
I know we’re all stuck at home, living our days going room to room in our house, feeling like every day is Groundhog day, (sigh…), staring at the same walls and losing the happiness that once filled our hearts!
What do we do about that? My friend Meredith at Frame Ave Design (the framing art master!) and I had a fun date today to help your HAPPINESS again! Let’s make a gallery wall of your family photos!!!
But “how do I even get started?” you may say to yourself… (I hear you~)
So many of you wanted this done, always had that wall in your home that you wanted to fill with the most gorgeous family photos you had done last years! THIS IS a PERFECT TIME!
Watch my interview about pro tips on how to make Photo Gallery wall at home below.
Here is how you can get the dream gallery wall done now~
what is a gallery wall?
gallery wall is a well styled collection of paintings, art pieces from framed photos, to meaningful objects, to postcards... and more. Basically, think your walls as a blank, which, when filled with family photos or vacation pictures, will be a giant window for you to relive the beautiful moments as well as make a bold statement about how much LOVE in your family.
where should I consider in my home to display my gallery wall?
wherever you and your family spend most of your time together will be the best! It can be your living room, family room, kitchen, or hall way. Meredith says select professionally done family photos for the first floor and the vacation, casual snapshots for upstairs. Many of my clients choose the staircase for a growing gallery wall.
what are my choices of frames? and how to choose the right one?
there are endless choices, but for family photo gallery wall looks stunning when they are in a single frame choice that are simple, elegant, yet interesting. The frame should not overwhelming, and complimenting the photos as well as the rest of the interior style of the home. Black, while, gold, mirror finish are the best options for many modern homes. Meredith and I can help you selecting the right images to desiginig the gallery wall to make your perfect family photo gallery wall!
what is the process like?
super fun and easy! virtual reality is our new reality. If you know the selection of the photos already, we just need to desin the wall that fits your choice of wall & room. We can help you through face time and photos! What you need is a measuring tape and your cel phone. It is called "Virtual consultation!". If you are not sure which photos to display yet, we can help you with that, too! The printing is done through our professional lab and will be sent to Meredith or she can pick them up from your door if they are already printed. Once Meredith has the prints, it will take 3-6 weeks to complete and she will deliver & install for you! Yes, THAT easy!
how much does it cost?
depending on the number and the kind of frames are used in the design. An 8x10 art framed in 15x15 with mat starts at 150. Most of the clients get 9 or 12 framed photos to create the most impact gallery wall spend 1500~2000 including pick up the artwork and delivery and optional installation!
