top tips

Whitewall’s

Product Manager,

Jan-Ole Schmidt,

reveals his top

tips for displaying

your framed photographs

1

The Statement Piece

This is one picture hung alone,

and can be effective in small rooms

or in a nook.

2

The Wall Art Cluster

Think of it like organised chaos.

It is an arrangement of numerous,

tightly grouped pictures on one wall.

The pictures should be ‘connected’

in some way.

3

On an Axis

This picture-hanging concept is a

classic and is also great in rooms with

low ceilings. Simply align the centre of

each picture along an imaginary axis.

4

All in a Row

Hang pictures evenly in a horizontal

or vertical line. If you have pictures of

different sizes, but would still like to hang

them in a row, you can align them along

one of the frame’s edges.

5

The Chessboard

A clear geometric concept for

presenting pictures of the same size.

They are hung above and next to each

other, with even gaps on all sides.

6

Making Shapes

Sometimes you might want to

arrange various pictures within the

confines of an imaginary geometric

shape. This could be a circle or a

diagonal line spanning your whole wall.

7

Leaning Pictures

Leaning pictures against the wall is

an out-of-the-ordinary and relaxed way

to display them. Pictures along the floor

will need to attract attention or else

they’ll get overlooked.

8

Picture Shelves

You can also use shelves to lean

your pictures. This gives the wall a

sense of structure.

9

The Split Image

One image, but split into multiple

pieces. The pieces should be hung in

a row, not too far apart and with the

edges level. At WhiteWall, we offer an

image-splitting function that can split

your picture into four individual pieces.

all acrylic prints (and any other
WhiteWall products) an integrated
hanging system is secured to the
back. Size and glass thickness varies
across the products from 2mm,
4mm and 6mm, and image sizes
range from 10x10cm images to
180x120cm, or even up to 270 x
180cm (with the 2mm option).

Metal prints
If you’re after something unique,
then WhiteWall’s metal and
aluminium prints are quite
something else. With various
options from mounting your
image onto aluminium with a
UV-protective surface, to your
image actually being printed onto
the metal surface itself (brushed or
aluminium dibond), there’s plenty
to choose from. The latter won’t
suit every image, but if your
photograph has the right
monochromatic finish or bold large
areas of colour it will look stunning.
This product is good for both inside
or outside use. If you have a custom
or specific need, speak to one of the
advisors at WhiteWall who are
available via email or at the end
of a phone ready to help.

Framed prints
If you want something more
traditional for your photograph or
an advanced frame solution then
navigate to WhiteWall’s ‘Framed

Prints’ section. Here you’ll find

a variety of products, from the

popular Floater frames to

Aluminium Artboxes, Solid Wood

Artboxes, Acrylic Box frames and

Gallery frames, just to name a

few. It’s worth spending some

time looking through all the

products here to ensure you

make the right choice.

Canvas prints

Finally, WhiteWall’s canvas prints

are the perfect choice for those

who want a simple presentation

solution. Canvases come in a

matte, glossy or textile finish,

with the option to mirror your

image around the edge of the

frame or wrap. Mirrored edges

are recommended for pictures

that can’t afford to have any part

of the picture missing, whereas

wrap continues the image all

around the side (3-5cm).
