There is no denying it. I love wall collages! I mean, what’s more awesome than seeing your beautiful family in bright, colorful photographs decorating your walls and adding character to your home?? ;-) In my dream world, all of my clients would have at least one large wall display in their home. So you can imagine that it tickles me pink when clients want me to help them design a wall display. <3
Let’s say that you want to begin (‘begin’ being the important word here) a wall collage on your large stairway in your home. You want to have a starting point. A foundation where you can showcase some favorite photographs right now and then add to the collage as your family grows. And don’t stress out about filling the starter collage with photographs. Instead, place cool fabric OR special keepsake items in the frame/spot for the time being. Then, when you have just the right photos to add, you can do so. I would suggest starting the collage in the center of your staircase. That way, you can easily add frames and canvases to each end to grow your collage so that eventually it spans your entire staircase. I also have decided to add in some colored frames. I think it just softens the whole look. What do you think?? :-)
{Option A}
{Option B}
{Option C}
And here is a side by side comparison.
OMG are you serious! How could anytone choose. They are all fabulous BUT if I HAD to choose, I would say number three, but again, all three are just wonderful
I like the first one best, but they really are all fabulous!
Thank you so much ladies! The client actually chose B.
I favored A. 
I love these layouts. Doing all the work of measuring and hanging in one go and then adding the perfect photos later would make life so much easier. I also like your suggestion to center the display on the wall so you can add to the ends later. Brilliant!
My husband and I wanted to try and replicate Option B for our staircase and I was wondering if you could provide any details on the size frames for purchase. Thank you and merry Christmas.
Hi, Lauren! So glad you like the displays. Option B: The smallest pics are 5×7′s. There are 13 of those. The next size are 8×10′s in 11×14 frames/mats. There are 4 of those. Then there is one square 15×15 of the family. And there are 2 11/14′s one with a larger mat and one with a smaller mat. Hope this helps.
