Beautifully made panel from photographs - stylish decoration for the living room, hallway or bedroom. In order to form an extraordinary composition, it is necessary to take into account the proportions of the room, the degree of its illumination and the prevailing color scheme. It would be a good idea to take into account functional purpose rooms. If calmer motifs are suitable for the bedroom, then something more energetic is appropriate for the living room.
The success of the entire composition is given by right choice frame colors. If the room is designed in the modern direction, then in this case you can experiment with different colors. At the same time, the frame should not be too “flashy”. To a lesser extent, experiments are allowed when it comes to country music.
It is important to choose the right frame for the wall relative to the size of the photos. You can often hear that it will not be possible to create a full-fledged panel. The culprit is that the images are too small. A little trick will help you get out of the situation. First you need to insert small images into the mat and only then into the frame.
In this case, it is necessary to remember the correct combination of colors:
- The colored frame is necessarily complemented by a colored mat;
- The predominant blue color will help to recreate the atmosphere of antiquity;
- The feeling of vintage style will be conveyed by the black and white combination.
Making a stylish panel from a photo: size matters
Once a stylistically justified color has been chosen, you need to pay attention to the size of the entire composition. Fans of antiquity who want to recreate a classic style indoors should prefer a large frame made in the style of a baguette. On the one hand, it will become one of the visual accents in the room. On the other hand, it will emphasize the majesty of the interior.
If you plan to use photo frames in a private house with several floors, it is advisable to use frames of various sizes.
The next idea looks great. At the top flight of stairs many large frames are installed, and as you go down, the number and size decreases. The result is a beautiful visual effect.
In addition, the following recommendations will help to make a unique design:
- In a children's room, it is necessary to abandon too small frames in favor of medium and large ones.
- The living room is a place where a noticeable visual accent is required, so attention should be focused on 3-4 large photo frames.
- A proportionate fixation system will eliminate many problems. This is why it is recommended to use clamps for small frames.
Rules for selecting photographs for panels: stylistic combinations
Main secret beautiful wall with photographic images - a harmonious combination of the picture, frame size and color. Today it is not difficult to find recommendations related to the need for bold experiments. It is proposed to use square, round and rectangular frames in one composition. It must be remembered that the forms must be harmoniously combined.
Regardless of the size of the frame, each experimental composition should not include more than 5-7 images.
Otherwise, the space will look overloaded. Practical advice for those who do not want to waste time on replacing the shape of the frames, it would be a recommendation to purchase universal option. You can turn it over every day without losing its properties.
In addition to the above, designers highlight a number of other tips:
- Application wooden frames in a dark or light tone is justified in classic style or direction Provence;
- The depiction of people must be “diluted” with pictures of nature;
- Family photos look good in the living room on a wall with photo prints, and something lyrical in the bedroom;
- Images mounted on the wall on special shelves look creative;
- If we talk about shape, openwork ones look good in a girl’s room. They are often complemented by something white or cream.
Unusual ideas for panels from photographs
In the store you need to purchase several wooden frames without any decorative elements. In addition, you will need small shells. If you don’t have any at home, it’s easy to buy them in a souvenir shop. At the same time, you don’t need to use shells too much, otherwise the frame will turn out to be too overloaded with a composition.
When choosing creative solutions, you need to start from hobbies and interests. For example, travel fans can turn their attention to marine themes.
In addition to the marine theme, you can use a number of other ideas:
- Take some yarn, the color of which is close to pastel. After this, it must be used for tying the baguette. If desired, if it fits into the creative concept.

Examples of panels from photographs (photos in the interior)
Interior design is a complex and multifaceted system with many components. Just wallpaper or painted walls no longer satisfy the average consumer. You always want to add some zest to your interior. A small detail that will set the direction for the perception of the design as a whole.
One of these details can certainly be considered wall panel, which, of course, can be bought at finished form and just hang it, or you can do it yourself, and then it will certainly become a key element.

What is a panel
In essence, a panel is any composition on a wall or ceiling that has its own, clearly defined place in the interior. By the way, any painting hanging in a house in a strictly defined place can also be considered a panel. Just like compositions from photographs or bas-reliefs.
Today, hand-made wall compositions are increasingly becoming fashionable, and they not only act as decoration, but also reflect the inner world of their creator. There are many materials for making panels, and the choice depends on the design features and personal skills of the person working with them.
Decorative panel on the wall
The most popular materials are:
- Paper.
- Tree.
- Mirrors.
- Ceramic tiles with a glazed surface.
- Plaster or alabaster.
- Small stones and shells.
- All kinds of fabrics.
- Photos both from personal archives and printed from the Internet.
What the composition will look like is a matter of taste and your own idea of beauty, and I will only consider a few of the most popular options that can completely change the entire design in the room.
What the composition will look like is a matter of taste and your own idea of beauty
Choosing a location and theme
An important aspect of a well-crafted design is harmony. It is she who creates coziness and comfort in the room. You can often find very rich interiors in which huge amounts of money have been invested, but this still makes them tasteless. On the other hand, one can consider Japanese style minimalism, where there is practically no furniture or accessories, but at the same time, elegance and comfort are felt in everything.
Achieving harmony is not easy, and one of the most important nuances– this is strict adherence to the chosen concept. If you are planning an interior in the Provence style, then a composition on the wall in the form of, say, a portrait of a pop star will completely destroy the harmony and introduce dissonance. Each style has its own, clearly defined idea and it is this idea that must be followed when selecting all the elements.
No less important is the place where the hand-made panel will be located. For example, compositions made of mirrors or any other materials with a reflection effect are best placed opposite a window or near light sources. A mirror hidden in the shadow creates a gloomy and depressing mood. There will never be any comfort around him.
If the composition is made from family photographs, then its place is on the most prominent part of the wall, where it will attract attention.
An important aspect of a well-crafted design is harmony.
As for general view, we can highlight a few tips that will help you correctly place accents and highlight the panel from the general style:
- In any composition it is advisable to use a baguette or frame, and its color should be clearly defined. If the composition is made in the same color scheme The same as wall decoration, then the molding should play on the contrast, and if the color scheme is contrasting, then the frame should repeat the color of the wall.
- The theme of the composition should correspond to the purpose of the room where it is located. A water theme is suitable for the bathroom and toilet. In the kitchen, food. And so on.
- The composition materials must match the style of the interior. If it is Provence or country, then so are the materials – stone, wood, fabrics. And for high-tech or art deco, glass, metal and plastic are suitable.
Now that you have decided on the theme of the composition and the location, you can proceed directly to the process of making it yourself.
We make panels
The most important thing you need to do decorative panel with your own hands, this is patience and perseverance. This is often very painstaking work that can take a lot of time. But the result will not be long in coming, so let’s stock up on creative juices and get to work.
The most important thing you need to make a decorative panel with your own hands is patience and perseverance.
Triplex composition at home
I have already mentioned compositions from photographs above; they are the ones that are in greatest demand today. Photo archives have moved to computers, and the remaining albums gather dust for a long time in drawers of tables or chests of drawers.
Memorable events of your personal life or simply captured landscapes and views can be transferred to the wall. Modern technologies They allow you to enlarge a photo to any size, or you can make a collage with your own hands.
If you don’t want to take a bunch of photographs to a specialized studio, you can make a composition from printed photographs on glass.
For this you will need:
- Two sheets of glass of the same size with polished edges.
- Baguettes of the required length.
- Paint for glass surfaces.
- Glue that reacts with glass.
Panel from wedding photographs
Everything you need for the composition can be purchased at hobby stores, and you can print a set of photographs yourself on a computer, enlarging them to the right size.
Important! The glass for a photo composition must be very thin. As a rule, it is 1.5-2 mm. Since glass of greater thickness also has more weight, and this is undesirable.
We cover one of the glasses with paint and wait for it to dry completely. We choose the color ourselves based on personal preferences and the tips presented above. Next, you need to make a collage from the photographs, laying them out on painted glass. When the composition is ready, apply a thin strip of glue along the edge of the glass and carefully cover it with a second layer. The glue sets almost instantly, so everything must be done quickly and avoid mistakes.
Now all that remains is to cut down and install the baguettes and the panel is ready, you can hang it on the wall using liquid nails or glass glue.
Interesting! Factory triplex glass is produced using a similar technology, with the only difference being that after connecting the layers it is sent to the oven, where high temperature Soldering occurs, turning the glass into a durable monolith.

Gypsum bas-relief or volumetric composition
Making a composition from gypsum with your own hands is much more difficult than from glass, but this is how you can get a three-dimensional panel.
Any object can be transferred to a bas-relief, and it is possible to do it with your own hands and at home. Consider the process using the example of a simple cup, the cast of which will look very relevant in the kitchen.
To begin with, we need any container larger in size than the cup we have chosen. We fill the container with sand in such a way as to immerse the cup exactly halfway into it. The surface of the product from which the impression is taken is covered soap solution to keep the mixture from sticking. The initial form is ready and now it needs to be filled with gypsum or alabaster mortar.
Important! When pouring the solution at home, the mold must be constantly slightly rocked. This expels all air bubbles and eliminates the appearance of pores on the surface of the product.
Gypsum panel
When the solution has dried, carefully remove the mold from the container with sand and remove the cup. As a result, we have a cast that exactly replicates the product being copied. The cast must be allowed to dry thoroughly, after which it is lubricated with the same soap solution and filled with a new portion of the mixture.
In this way we got half of our cup made of plaster. You can make as many of these elements as you like, depending on the theme.
The finished parts of the composition can be painted in any color. Now all that remains is to make a frame from baguettes, which is immediately fixed on the wall. The surface is painted and elements can be attached. Here, as in the first version, liquid nails are suitable.
As you can see, in creating such bas-reliefs, there is complete freedom of imagination and creativity, and ready product able to decorate any room that previously lacked zest.
