( Gallery Wall Ideas )

Love how these thin picture frames are just sat comfortably on this concrete shelf at low level.

As most of you know, I have a huge passion for photography, but hardly ever display my work. 99.9% of my own photography is on my laptop, or on various photo-sharing web-sites! Well not any more... This weekend I am determined to buy some really lovely frames and create my very own and very personal Gallery Wall... Exciting :)
I have searched the Internet all week trying to get inspiration for my Gallery Wall, and what best way to hang my photos. This post is also a great opportunity to share my finding with you all.
By the way... Now that I have my inspiration... I don't know which style is my favourite! Please help me decide. Which one is your favourite?

Different frames, sizes and styles! Great balance :)

I really like the arrangement of these monochromatic frames :)

A three level shelving system crammed with frames...
Really like this organised randomness! 

Mixing it all up...
Frames on the shelf, some on the floor and some hanging! Very cool :)

Invisible shelf surrounding the room! 

Why not display other items... walls are not just for photos and art work!

Be creative... vintage items or collectible items... display them. Don't hide them! 

Display boxes / bespoke shelving unit!
I have loads of items and photos I'd show off on a shelf like this ;)

Get the biggest frame you can find and arrange those fantastic Instagram photos!
Be Proud of those snaps!

( Autumn morning in London )

Last weekend I decided to have a stroll round the beautiful Richmond Park, London.
It has to be my favourite park in London because of the size, the wildlife and the greenery. Saying that, the green is now more orange, yellow and red... AMAZING.
I just wanted to post a few of the images I captured of my trip to share with you all. As you can see, I'm really getting into my photography.
Goal for next year: have my own photography exhibition ;) hehehe.

( photo art by what wilson wants )

I have been recently working on my photography which many of you already know, is another passion of mine as well and Interior Design and Furniture Design.
I just wanted to show you all some of the Photo Art I have been working on. The three images below are a series of nine which can be hung in a 3 x 3 configuration on a large wall as a great art installation for the home. Each print is 500mm x 500mm in size, but can be ordered at a smaller scale to suit any room. I am currently working on other themes, so watch this space :) I hope you like them.
You can find other photos by me over at Viewbug.

( stunning staircase lighting by PSLAB )

This is more then modern design; it is a work of art. Via Plastolux,  PSLAB  created a fixture that could hang in a tight spiral staircase. The aim was to create a lighting concept that would mimic the staircase’s iconic spiral and also compliment the structure. There is no doubt that it opens up the stairs and looks absolutely fantastic.

“An imposing insertion was made in the shape of a ceiling mounted fixture composed of hanging channels reaching out from the ceiling in a circular manner identical to the staircase. The lighting installation hangs from a partially recessed supporting plate with extruded profiles that serve to firmly set the vertical channels. These channels vary in length, giving the impression of an ascending structure.”

( curtain door by Matharoo Associates )

The Curtain Door by Matharoo Associates is 5.2m high and 1.7m wide, the door is comprised of 40 sections of 254mm-thick Burma teak. Each section is carved so that the door integrates 160 pulleys, 80 ball bearings, a wire-rope and a counter weight hidden within the single pivot.
Stacked one above the other in the closed position, each plank can then rotate by a simple push causing the door to reconfigure into a sinusoidal curve.
The Architectural Review’s Emerging Architecture Awards, celebrates the best pieces of design by young architects from across the world. The door alone, to a diamond merchant’s residence in Surat, India, was judged enough to make it one of the four prize winners. It’s understandable since it’s such a nice and innovative piece. I love this door so much, and I will have one in my future home ;)

( paper waves )

When I first saw close up photos of these sculptures by artist Noriko Ambe, I thought that they were black and white photos of rocks and caves carved by wind and water. In fact, they're made of paper... they are each individually cut free-hand and then stacked together. For Noriko, they embody relationships among humans, time and nature. View more on her site here.
