The Montage
Integrating a photo montage into your interior room design offers a myriad of benefits that extend beyond mere aesthetics. Firstly, a photo montage serves as a visual narrative of your family's character, encapsulating cherished memories and personalities in a single, cohesive display. By curating a collection of personalities, you create a warm and inviting atmosphere that fosters a sense of belonging and nostalgia within your home. Additionally, a well-designed photo montage adds a personalised touch to your space, pulling the room together, creating an interesting focal point. Whether displayed in a living room, hallway, or entertainment area, a photo montage becomes a conversation starter, inviting guests to share in the warmth and joy of your family's story. Furthermore, a carefully curated photo montage can evoke positive emotions and serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for both family members and visitors alike.

The Collage
Utilising a photo collage for family portraits in your interior room design offers a multitude of advantages that elevate both the aesthetic appeal and emotional resonance of your space. A photo collage provides a creative and versatile way to showcase a diverse array of family memories, allowing you to incorporate numerous photographs into a single cohesive composition. This not only maximises the visual impact but also enables you to tell a comprehensive story of your family's personalities. A well-designed photo collage adds depth and dimension to your interior decor, transforming bare walls into dynamic focal points that draw the eye and spark conversation. By strategically arranging photos in various sizes and orientations, you can create visual interest and balance within the room, enhancing its overall ambiance and character.
Use the larger frame for the whole family, and supporting images for either generations or each person’s personality.
Available as frames or canvas. The Alana frame pictured.

The Montage
A large multi-image frame with a single main image, and three supplementary images can be used for:
Family & children
Extended family & generations
Montages are best with symmetry. For instance, main family image in the centre, parent and child on one side, other parent and child on the opposite side, then child alone in centre.

Photo Wall
A photo wall is a great idea for many reasons.
Each person can show their own personality and character
Easy to rotate some of the images to keep it fresh through the year
Easy to add updated images
Great to show any updates and changes in each persons’ life story. Like show their musical interest. Show their special furry friend. Celebrate a special stage in a little-someone’s ballet journey. Celebrate an engagement.
Be inspired by our Generations Project, or our Baby Monthly Pop-ins.
There are many ways to arrange frames on a photo wall. You can do all portrait or all landscape orientations, a 50-50 balanced mix like that shown here, or something unique but geometrical.
Interior design rules
When incorporating family portrait frames into interior design, consider the following rules and advice:
1. Scale and Proportion: Choose frames that complement the size of the wall and surrounding furniture, ensuring they neither overwhelm nor get lost in the space.
2. Cohesion: Maintain visual harmony by selecting frames with a consistent style, color palette, or theme to tie the display together.
3. Balance: Distribute frames evenly across the wall or surface, balancing different sizes and orientations to create a cohesive arrangement.
4. Focal Point: Position the largest or most prominent frame as the focal point of the display, anchoring the arrangement and drawing attention to key portraits.
5. Personalisation: Showcase a mix of family portraits, candid moments, and special occasions to reflect the diversity and depth of your family's story. Show any special skills or interests that reflect the people at this stage in their lives.
6. Lighting: Illuminate the display with adequate lighting to enhance visibility and highlight the beauty of each portrait. Avoid putting images in direct sunlight to avoid fading - artificial or white-LED light is best.
7. Flexibility: Update the display periodically to incorporate new memories or accommodate changes in style and preferences.
8. Symmetry: The people and placement should balance. With a dad and two daughters, a single image of all three should be in the middle, with each daughter given her own space. See sample nearby.
Common mistakes include:
Not measuring your wall space, not planning ahead, not researching ideas, and more
Symmetry is best. Three members in the middle (dad & two daughters), then each daughter either side. In this montage each image is A4 sized - perhaps a bit small.
