Default Photo wall ideas

I'm trying to come up with some ideas for putting my favorite pictures on my home office wall. Something informal, just prints from my photo printer.

I thought about hanging up some corkboard and pinning the photos there.

Anyone other ideas out there?

Hey the best way to get ideas is to follow some tumblr blogs.

Go to tumblr and look for Pretty Spaces or Interior Design type blogs and the amount of times photo walls are posted is amazing!

I favorite a bunch of them as they show up in my feed.

That is my best suggestion over time.

Depending on how much you want to spend, and how you want it to look. I'd have them printed from a service, then try and find some inexpensive frames. Then make a feature on the wall to showcase them. Like those things that you see on tv or such,...where its like a kit that gives you a template and frames and all, you just have to provide the photos.

I personally have two walls completely covered with prints. Each print is done with a small white border and they are all perfectly matched edge to edge. Feels almost like wall paper of faces.

Still, nothing compares to my favorite wall-o-photos of all time, courtesy of Lou. Warning, not all images linked there are Safe for Work. There's just something so appealing about a wall of polaroids.

This website - {this pretty space} - is the one I was talking about. You'll probably have to scroll through a bunch of pages but there are a lot of photo walls shared through the blog.
