Whether it’s a collage of several different events or a themed wall, this kind of photo setup helps keep memories alive and showcased for visitors and family members, alike. Over the past two years we have been building and adding to our photo gallery wall in our family room. Piece by piece it is shaping up to be something I am happy with. Today, I’m ready to share it with you. I thought I’d take some time to provide a few photo gallery wall tips to help keep your photo space unique, attractive, and full of all those wonderful memories you cherish so much. Photo Gallery Wall 101 It takes some thought and planning to make an impressive gallery wall. You could just slap photos up there in whatever frames you have, but that wouldn’t look very good. You want your gallery to tell a story, and you don’t want that story interrupted by the design – or lack thereof – of your wall. Pick Your Spot A great gallery wall begins with choosing the right spot. You want to find a wall with plenty of space. You could also find an area of the home that has plenty of connected wall space. For example, my gallery wall is in the basement on a large open wall. It’s an ever-growing collage of photos that capture our adventures together as a family. However, you might have a staircase situation with a couple of walls or a big, triangular wall space that could lend itself to a gallery wall. It’s up to you, but the main point is that you need space so that your photo story can grow. Choose a Theme and a Focal Point The best gallery walls have themes. This allows you to tell a story with your photos. Our gallery wall is focused on our family adventures in travel. Each piece tells the story of our travels together. We have a huge canvas of us zip lining and we have many photos of our favourite family travel moments. This week I added one of our most recent adventures – a large framed canvas photo print of the family skiing at Bromley in Vermont. We love to ski and we only learned how to ski at Tremblant in 2015!! It’s an activity which is becoming increasingly difficult to schedule in as the kids get older. But each family ski trip together holds a super special place in all of our hearts. This year my youngest turned 14 on our family ski trip to Bromley. Such a great addition to our gallery wall. Choose a Great Photo Partner A photo gallery wall usually requires some large prints for focal points and to keep things interesting. Even if you don’t need large prints, it’s always fun to find a partner that can help you make your gallery wall unique in some way. For me, that’s using BestCanvas.ca. They specialize in photo to canvas pictures that offer a visual experience for your gallery wall that’s as unique as your memories. I love their canvas printing options because they offer a variety of sizes and styles that can be framed or unframed. This unique approach makes for a gallery wall that will have people stopping and staring. A Photo Gallery Wall Makes Memories Last We love our photo gallery wall, and I’m happy to report that so does everyone else who sees it. I know these family moments won’t last forever. The girls are going to graduate high school, then it’s off to college and careers and spouses. I hope they have amazing, full lives, but while they’re here, I want as many memories as I can get of these moments to help me once the nest empties out. I love the way our wall has turned out. If you’re interested in their process, head over to BestCanvas.ca and check out what they can do to help you save those important family memories.

No, I don’t mean paintings. I mean photo canvas prints. They’re an excellent way to commemorate family memories without the same old boring frame on the wall or 8″x10″ on the counter. With photo canvas prints, you can decorate your home with something unique. They’re quite attractive, with a photo quality image and that great canvas texture we all know and love. Decorate Your Home with Stylish Prints I have a few photo canvas prints in my home. They’ve become my simple way to add photographs to my walls or table tops and I like the look of them. I also love that I don’t always need frames. A mixture of photos with and without frames makes me happy actually. So this one from Canvas Champ fits the bill. Over the last several months I have been building a gallery wall of photos. There are a few framed ones, and a couple wit inspirational travel quotes, but many are canvas prints. I’m happy to have found another great source for them – Canvas Champ. Canvas Champ gives me that canvas print feel that I love so much without a huge price.  I like Canvas Champ, so I’m adding another print to my home. This time I chose one of our pictures from a recent family trip. We took it in Phillipsburg, St. Maarten while we were on an excursion called The Amazing Race in the local port. We saw quite a bit of St. Maarten while we raced around together looking for clues. We came in second last I think, but we had a TON of fun. That’s worth remembering with my next canvas print from Canvas Champ. For more on that cruise you can read this Harmony of the Seas cruise ship post here. Decorate Your Home with a Huge Variety of Prints I’m doing a fairly straightforward print, but the thing that I really love about Canvas Champ is that they have a wide variety of ways to decorate your home. You can go for a straight photo transfer, but you can also choose from: Wall Displays Photo Collages Photo Mosaics Pop Art Panoramic Canvas Prints Canvas Photo Retouching Rolled Canvas Printing Large Canvas Prints Enlargements on Canvas [clickToTweet tweet=”Simple and affordable photo canvas prints make great gifts. AD” quote=”Simple and affordable photo canvas prints make great gifts. “] You can also take advantage of specialty prints, accessories, and more. In addition to that you can print from Instagram or Facebook, which is what I think I might do next. Canvas Champ is an affordable, fast, resource for decorating your home in a unique way. I love it, and I think you will, too. I received a print for consideration on this site. My opinion is all my own.
