Black and White Wall decor ideas for displaying pictures
- Symmetry in displaying black and white photos is a key to success.
- Other B&W wall decor ideas are to create a storyboard with B&W pictures on your wall using a theme such as in the display below of rustic farm and mountain prints
- In selecting the order of your prints, go ahead and put the your favorite photo in the middle. Your eyes will be drawn to that picture and you will create a focal point for the display.
- Another helpful hint is to center the collection of pictures over the furniture. We can’t always center our furniture on a wall. A doorway, window or other obstacle may prohibit that so centering on the wall may make the display look off balance. Take a look at the bedroom picture below.
Taking and Displaying your own black and white pictures
There is a distinct art to taking your own black and white photography pictures that goes beyond having the right equipment (although that is part of it). There is a great article with a lot of helpful things on Pixpa.com. It is definitely worth reading for both information and inspiration.
Consider adding black and white pictures to complete your wall decor. You can select a room, a section or your entire house or apartment. I personally have my bedroom with all black and white photography prints and I love it! I hope this helps you find your inspiration.
