How to Put Your Identity in a Space

For me, a house/space only truly becomes mine when it has my identity, my “fingerprint”. For this reason, in addition to furniture and textiles, the best way to leave our mark on the decor is through photographs and images (whether through postcards, posters, letters…). I confess that I LOVE photographs! I think it is the most immediate way to return to that moment, to feel those emotions and smells at the time the photographs were taken. For me, it is a way of reliving happy moments... and why not take advantage and live them every day?

Here at home we haven't yet put up everything we had planned on the walls, but decorating a house is just that: thinking, doing, changing. In other words, it's an unfinished project (and thank goodness for that!).

A great way to personalize or highlight a wall is to create a photo mural/panel. Here’s how:

Step 1. Select the composition you want to create. There are lots of suggestions online . Just measure the wall and see which one best suits your needs;

Step 2. Choose your photos and check whether they will be in good resolution once printed (some photos taken with a mobile phone are not suitable for large formats). Also choose whether you will print in black and white and/or color.

Step 3. Once you have chosen your photos, simply look for the perfect frame, the one that will match the color of your photo (if you choose frames with different finishes);

Step 4. Arrange or compose the photograph panel on the floor, to see how it will look when displayed on the wall.

Step 5. Screw and hammer in hand and voila!

Here are some ideas and inspirations. Remember that you can decorate any space with photographs, even your bathroom: why not frame some photos of you or your children taking a bath as babies?
