Listed below are the most common types of Memory Wall Accessories to add a classy finish to your Memory Wall.
Listed below are common types of Memory Wall Design Considerations - a bit of food for thought in regards to the best possible display for your Memory Wall.
Size & Location of Your Memory Wall |
|
A very common living space for a Memory Wall in a home is the household family room, games room, dining room or hallway. In the office environment its the reception area, meeting room or lunch room. It is important to consider a place that family or staff will regularly pass by, recalling good memories. |
|
A wide rectangle shaped Memory Wall is well suited to sit above a dining table, lounge suite or long hallway in the office. |
|
A tall rectangle shaped Memory Wall is well suited to tall spaces such as between bedroom doors or either side of archway entries. |
|
A thin but long Memory Wall down the hallway of a small apartment or small area will elegantly give the illusion of long length, making the room look larger then it is. |
Matching the Environment |
|
Make sure your Memory Wall complements the room or office it shall reside in – consider the décor, style, colour and theme of the surrounding area. For example, if a Memory Wall is to be placed in family room with a very modern black gloss TV stand and black leather couches, it would be best to select a simple gloss black frame around your Memory Wall. |
|
If a Memory Wall is to reside on a large wall space, we recommend a Memory Wall to be centred to an object on that wall, eg Couch or bench top. |
Frame Spacing and Blank Space |
|
The framed photos placed on a Memory Wall can be spaced out or brought close together. If you wish for a little space between all frames we recommend applying that precise space across the whole Memory Wall – we don’t recommend a mix of both as this forces the attention of the viewer to scatter and search to compare blank spaces – instead of focusing on great photos. |
Room Lighting |
|
It is important to have good lighting to properly enjoy a Memory Wall – no point having your memories on display if they cannot be viewed. Descent room lighting or accessorising you Memory Wall with cordless picture lights is one way to bring it to life. Is would also be a good idea not to place your Memory Wall in an area that is subject to excessive direct sunlight as the UV rays mat cause your photos to fade over time. |
Picture Orientations |
|
Horizontal:
Having all photos displayed in a horizontal manner. |
|
Vertical:
Having all photos displayed in a vertical manner. |
|
Mix of Horizontal and Vertical:
Most popular orientation as the combination of both horizontal and vertical photos are used to canvas your Memory Wall. |
|
Angled Orientation:
Having a display of differently angled photos to give the Memory Wall that scrap book feeling. |
Grouping Photos by Event |
|
A popular method of displaying photos on a Memory Wall is to group by event or theme. These may include family member birthdays, overseas trips or different adventures. |
|
For example a display of your favourite Wedding Day photos may include:
|
On the left area of the Memory Wall, pictures displaying the groom and bride preparing for a ceremony. |
|
In the centre area of the Memory Wall, pictures displaying the groom and bride at the reception hall having fun with family and friends after the ceremony. |
|
On the right area of the Memory Wall, pictures displaying the groom and bride giving a farewell to family and friends as they conclude the day driving off in a get away car. |
