Photo display ideas for an L-shaped corridor
Hi
We would like to arrange a photo wall display in our L shaped corridor. The length of the smallest wall is approx 208cm and the larger wall measures 354cm.
I am thinking of a symetrical display using Country Road black frames either the Adler A3 Poster (42X29.7) or Adler Certificate (36x31) Frame.
I have had a bit of a play with the A3 poster size (see attached photo) but am not too sure if it works with an approx 18cm gap between the frames. I have used the frames horizontally (landscape) and have created 2 rows.
Does this confirguation work? Most sites recommend a gap of 2 inches between frames so maybe the way I have displayed with an 18cm gap is too wide?? Perhaps I should have more clearance on the ends of each wall?? Not sure if the certificate frame dimension would work better.
Looking forward to your advice and suggestions!
Ann

Love they way you are trying the layout. and the neutral frames with black and white photos in this picture

Struggling with L shaped lounge. Please help. Any ideas welcome
Comments (5)I don't have anything wildly different to add but I like sketching ideas so here's my two cents! You've already figured out the best position for your sofas and tv. Just pull the sofas in a bit as Jen P suggested and pull the ottoman back from exile, and already you'll see a difference. If you're tired of the carpet, try a dark wooden floor with a huge rug? Carolina is spot on with the wraparound tv console..I'd add shelves around the corner for books, photos, and a few favourite items. Then you need two fantastic armchairs. This is where you add personality and purpose to that dead space. It becomes a cosy conversational corner for when you're not watching tv. Nice and close to the kitchen for refilling your wine/coffee! You're lucky that pretty much any colour and style of chair will work with the sofas. If you're really feeling brave, the chairs don't even have to match each other...! You can draw from the burgundy/rust colours in your cushions, or just find chairs you love and use them as a starting point for a new colour scheme. One last thought...is the door to stairs used a lot, or can you go around by the kitchen? If you could block it and extend the built in unit all the way along, that would be even better......See MoreDesign Dilemma: L-shaped living/dining room
Comments (4)Hi, its a lovely room I agree drawing out where you'd like to place your existing furniture is a good idea, then you can see how much available space you have left. If you have budget and Interior Designer would be able to create a couple of layouts for you to help you utilise the space (much more affordable than you think) The fireplace is lovely have you considered keeping it as a relaxing zone and possibly putting the TV elsewhere? I’m not sure on the full layout of you room, but could you have the TV on the wall you have taken the photo from with the L-Shaped sofa facing it. And then you could add a couple of comfy chairs either side of the fireplace with a rug in the middle (always have at least the feet of your furniture over the rug so it doesn’t look like a little island in the middle of your floor) similar to the image below....See MoreFirst post - Please help!

Comments (24)If you take the 290 unit off the back run and island, I think that would be sufficient? As you've got kids I think a banquette seat would be ideal for family games, homework, crafts etc. Banquettes are around 60cm, table 90cm so that leaves 113cm which I think is more than sufficient both visually and practically as it's the same gap I have behind my kitchen table. Choose chairs that push under and consider the table legs carefully depending on the number of chairs wanted, pedestal tables often work. I would however take the sink off the island and maybe install a prep sink instead so the back run would be DW, sink, bin, induction hob (I'd integrate the oven personally). Is the shower room a must? It seems quite a trek to reach there with the number of doors unless there was a way to extend the 2nd front door forward and create access from the hall there. Also wondering if you'd considered removing the wall between snug and the old kitchen? It may make the area more useable rather than trying to fill the old kitchen...See MoreL-shaped living room in an apartment - design ideas please!
Comments (15)I’m much liking the look of that second layout suggested by Carolina - there are some very clever solutions there!The positioning of the doors is slightly awkward, but this layout creates zones that work nicely. The position of the sofa very cleverly creates a TV zone, and also defines the study area behind it. And those two orange accent chairs are lovely, forming part of the lounge zone whilst also drawing the eye to the windows and the view. And, on days when Joan and her family/visitors want to gaze at the view, they can be simply turned round. There’s just one tiny tweak i might suggest: to remove the coffee table and instead have a side table and lamp to the left of the sofa, in the corner by the door. Otherwise, if that were my room, I’d be looking at the orange chairs and the view as I walked into the room... and I’d trip over the coffee table :-)...See More

6 years agoAnn - have you checked photos of photo arrangements on Houzz? There are thousands of them and many ideas for creative arrangements too with different size and shaped frames and variations in mat sizes, plus you will get a better idea of spacing too. I also note the theme of the photos seems to be important for a good result - family photos, holiday photos, bird or animal photos, etc. and also colour, too much colour could result in a daub that confuses the eye.
Another arrangement using this sized frame I really like -
