How to Decorate With Images for a Front Entryway

    • 1). Hang a large image on the focal wall of your front entryway for a contemporary look. For example, choose a picture that has been transferred to a canvas and hang it, unframed, on the wall. Alternatively, select a large picture of your childhood home, a vacation spot or your wedding day and hang it there. The picture should be large enough so that it looks fine hanging on the wall with nothing else surrounding it. The lone, large picture hanging on the wall will draw your guests' eyes as they enter your home.

    • 2). Cover the focal wall of your entryway completely with images. Select a variety of different images, whether they are landscapes, pictures of your family or pictures of buildings. Have the images printed so that they are a variety of different sizes. Then, select frames in a variety of different sizes and shapes. However, the frames should be the same color or made from the same material to give the collection a cohesive feel. Place the images inside the frames and hang them on the wall in a collection. Start with a large picture in the center, then work outward, hanging smaller pictures around it. The design should appear random, with no noticeable pattern. One way to make sure you don't mess up is to lay your design out on the floor before you start actually hanging the pictures.

    • 3). Create a wall of pictures that are lined up evenly, rather than a collection of different sizes and shapes. Choose the images you want to use, then have them printed out in the same size. Consider having them printed in black and white to give the collection an even more cohesive look. Place the images in matching frames, then hang them in straight rows on your front entryway focal wall. Use a level to make sure that the rows are straight and even.
