New Prints For The Walls

Updated: Feb 27, 2022

We’ve recently been decorating at home, and having finished the walls, it was nice to be able to put up some new prints up. So I thought I’d share how they look, as they’re always more enjoyable mounted and framed than on the computer screen.

These two are metallic prints, which have a reflective sheen to them, and adds an extra dimension to black & white prints…

We also put up our large canvas print of Skogafoss waterfall, in Iceland…

And last of all, I had my Lake Louise Moonrise photo put into a new frame…

I’m really happy with how the prints came out, and they look nice on the wall. Having so many photos to choose from can be problematic, particularly as I tend to hope I’ll continue to take better photos in the future. But at least with framed prints, they’re quite easy to change from time-to-time, retaining the frame for a new print. So I’m able to make a decision largely on the basis that it doesn’t have to be permanent.

I’m quite traditional when it comes to framing. We have all-white walls, and I like black frames with white mounts for a classic clean finish. Of late, I’ve bought frames from John Lewis, Habitat, and local Bedford company EzeFrame. I’d recommend all of those, particularly EzeFrame who take specific measurements and built a bespoke frame and mount to my specifications.
