For years I have wanted to create a beautiful gallery wall in our living room. I have the perfect wall picked out, and many times I’ve stared at it and have tried to inspire myself to finally create it. I have all of my favourite photos chosen, and even have the largest framed photo as the focal point, waiting in my office.
So what’s holding me back? Creating a gallery wall looks complicated to me.
What if I don’t arrange the frame sizes and orientations in the right way? What if my photos aren’t level, causing a re-do? Then there’ll be too many holes in the wall and then I have to re-paint the living room?! GAH!
Yet, I’ve always wanted that gallery wall, they do look so beautiful don’t they? I fully admit that I need help and advice! You too?
I was recently introduced to this video demonstrating how the Canon PIXMA PRO printer helps to create that perfect gallery wall in 10 simple steps. Design expert Leigh-Ann Perrault proves just how easy it can be, and shares a few tips and tricks!
I have a small Canon Selphy printer and I’m still amazed with the quality of 4×6 photos that it prints. It’s something that I never thought I’d need until I had one, and I use it all the time. The Canon PIXMA PRO Printer allows you to print a variety of photo sizes and create that gallery wall in no time, plus you can so easily print more photos when it’s time to change up the wall art.
Thanks to Canon, their outstanding products, and helpful tips and tricks – I’m inspired to get my own gallery wall completed. Finally!
Do you have a gallery wall in your home?
