Framing ideas for your Photography Prints!

A client of mine recently asked me about framing ideas for her photographic prints. My client had an idea around what images from our photo session were her favourites, but was wondering how to best display them in her home.

Her query is a great one and there really are no right or wrong answers here as it really depends on the image or images, the wall space available and personal taste! I thought it would be a great idea to offer some suggestions regarding framing your prints to help give you some inspiration!

One Print as a Feature

A single framed print will work on any wall space, they key though is the right size for the space. Too large and the print can be overwhelming, too small and the print gets lost. Just right looks fabulous!

The above image looks much better - is not overwhelming, not understated.

Two Prints Together


Using two prints on a wall space can look very effective. Again the print size needs to be appropriate for the wall space to be most effective. The prints should also be the same size, use the same frames and the images should relate to each other for the best effect.

Three Prints Together


Once we start putting three images together, we can start being really creative with how the images are displayed! As with all images, the size of the images will depend on the wall space, but also on the size of the other images. The sizes need to complement each other and not overwhelm the other prints being displayed together. 

Here are some examples of groupings of 3.

Four Prints Together


Four images together (as well as 6 images together) are my favourite combinations! See below for some inspiration on framing four prints together.
