Just spent the last 2 hrs putting this blog together. There is most likely something similar out there but like most of my client work, I love to customise! :)
Along with some specialty photographic products offered in my studio, I also offer the traditional framed or unframed matted gift prints which come in various sizes. Speaking with past and returning clients who have purchased these, I get the feeling the process of choosing where and how to hang artwork can be quite difficult. Before you know it, months have passed and images are still waiting to be hung.
4 Ways I Help My Clients:
1. I always ask my clients to think about where they want to hang wall pieces before their ordering session so there is a purpose for their purchases. Products already have a home when they get there.
2. I now ask clients to take photos of their possible wall spaces, including surrounding furniture, and bring along to their ordering sessions. This visual aid can assist with their decision making and enables me to custom design artwork for a particular space.
3. I offer a framing service because it means one less task for my clients to do. DIY framing can be fun but takes time and quality can vary greatly. I use a trusted professional framer and only offer quality frames that I know will stand the test of time without buckling or falling apart.
4. Finally, for my local clients, I am even happy to do a home visit to look at options and offer immediate suggestions. In the end I want all my clients to be able to enjoy their beautiful memories.
Display Ideas:
Below are some effective configurations for displaying your wall art. Keep it simple and balanced unless it is an angled space like along a stairway. If you prefer a quirkier design then keep the number of frames to a minimum so that the design doesn’t detract from the images or artwork itself.
