3 Tips and Tricks for Affordable Prints and Frames with Orms

A blank wall in your home can be a blessing and a curse. The variety of options available are simply daunting. This is, however, is a great opportunity to jazz up your decor with a gallery feature wall that makes an interior statement according to your personal style.

Orms Print Room & Framing have compiled a few tips to making the most of your blank wall with a personalised gallery wall. These tricks are really a life saver…

1. Only choose artwork you love

The first rule is never to make artwork decisions in a rush. This is your space and regret is a terrible thing. If you are going to invest in your home, make sure you choose the things that make you the happiest and this process cannot be rushed.

A gallery wall should have meaning and it’s a time-consuming process to find the right artwork. Orms offers a solution to this problem by allowing you to print your own photography or art and frame it according to your own layout.

2. Structured or organic?

Depending on the style of your home, you can opt for a more structured look, where standard sized frames are lined up.

Structured layout

For a more daring and eclectic style, an organic unstructured look will work wonders. To decide on which look will work better in your space, use the photographic rule of thirds. The reasoning behind this is the that when the subject isn’t centered in the image, the main focal point is a bit offside. This in turn draws the viewer’s eye into the composition, instead of just towards the center.

Organic layout

Luckily, Orms eliminates this hassle by offering layout packages including frames, so you get to choose your artwork and simply fill in your favourite pictures!

3. Get creative

Make your feature wall interesting by painting it in a moody blue or dramatic purple to offset your frames. Orms offers a selection of three colour frames; black, white or natural. Opposites attract in this regard- a dark wall suits a white frame whereas a light wall looks great with a bold, black frame. For the in-betweeners, or those that love a more natural feel, frame your prints in timber. This helps to add a bit of Scandi-inspiration to your interior.

The ability to personalise your gallery wall saves time, money and gives you the creative leeway to make the best decision. Visit Orms to find out how you can update your decor today.
