How to Make a Wall Collage of Photographs in Your Room

Using cherished photographs to decorate your bedroom walls will give the space a personal touch. You can use wedding, family vacation, school or any other types of photos to create an eye-catching wall collage. Making a wall collage is simple way to add interest to a plain room as it will become the focal point. If you're short on wall space, get creative by using a collage in place of a bed headboard.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose photographs to use in the collage. Pick images around a theme, such as beach vacation, holidays or birthday parties as one idea. Use random black and white and color photos as another option.

      Place the selected photos into frames. Pick frames that feature one common element, such as color, shape or size, to create a cohesive look. Choose all square or all black frames, for example.

      Arrange the photo collage on the floor or a table before hanging the frames to see how it will look when on the wall.

    • 4

      Hammer nails into wall at the points where the frames will hang. Use a tape measure to create the same, precise distances between each frame if you desire. Use a carpentry level to ensure that the nails are even.
