A fair few summers ago I got completely inspired by photos
of mismatched picture frame walls that seemed to crop up on Pinterest and
Tumblr every now and again. I’ve always loved sketching and decided to start a
project to make a frame wall of my own filled with sketches. Here are some images from Pinterest that show the photo
wall in action, a great place to display the photo wall is on a staircase and another twist is to hang the frames old fashioned-ly by
tying some ribbon or string to the top of them to visibly show them hanging:
I began my quest for the perfect photo wall by going to
various charity shops every now and again to find interestingly shaped wooden
frames of all sizes which I then decided to sand down and paint black. If you
want to do a similar project, be on the look out for interesting shapes, frame
textures and frame thicknesses to give your photo wall a mismatched feel to it. Here
are the frames I’ve collected so far:
I sketched a butterfly for this tiny square frame and Andy
Warhol and Edie Campbell in this rectangular frame. If you don’t fancy your
hand at sketching then black and white prints and photographs will equally do
the job. You could have one large print as a centre piece and work around that
if you are lucky to have a particularly large space to fill. I got this huge framed
print for just £1 from a car boot sale!
I'm hoping to find some frames to home these half-finished sketches and some ornate oval mirrors would finish off this wall mural perfectly... I'll be sure to show you the finished result (eventually!)
