How to select your photos for your gallery wall

You’ve got a gazillion photos to choose from, we’ll help you narrow it down to create a gallery wall you will love forever.

Use professional shots

A professional photography session is an investment yes, but their expertise will ensure that they capture you and your loved ones in the most beautiful way. They will edit your photographs with a consistent aesthetic, so when viewed in a gallery wall they will look visually cohesive and absolutely stunning!

All that you love

If you want a more eclectic approach - you have a mixture of wedding, baby, travel and everyday shots, that is perfect too! Choose the photos that mean the most to you, that will make you smile everytime you walk passed it, and go from there. If you don’t want to make them all black and white, then use one of the aforementioned apps and edit them so they have a similar colouring.

Make them all black & white

If you are wanting to mix up a collection of old and new shots, but are worried that it will look like a bit of a mishmash, the easiest way to solve this is to make all of your photographs black and white. You can use our photo editing tool when uploading your images, or apps such as Lightroom, VSCO or Colorstory.

Using old photographs

We love, love, love a gallery wall filled with vintage photos. As these will be based on either a scan of a printed pic, or a slide scan, you won’t be able to enlarge them too much. We love our gallery walls which feature a landscape or portrait photo in a square frame. It heroes the image with a big beautiful border and ensures that the quality of the image is maintained.

Pick a theme

Another approach is to create your gallery wall based on a theme, be it travel, family, wedding and friends.
