Hanging pictures and photographs in your house is one of the quickest and easiest ways of making it really feel like home, but you’d be wise to spend some time thinking about how to go about arranging your frames and what you want to put in them.

Creating your own diptychs and triptychs (series of two or three corresponding images) is a brilliant way of storytelling through photographs or other pictures and can be used to great effect by showing opposing or contrasting thoughts and ideas.

Successive shots work incredibly well in triptych form in particular, especially if you’ve got numerous shots of young children or animals which all move very quickly and change their expressions all the time. By putting three images side by side in beautiful frames, you can really tell a fun story and create a real talking point in your home.

When deciding on which images to include in your diptychs and triptychs, make sure you take your time over it and approach the project with an open mind. You may well be used to seeing an image in a certain way but it could well be that it’s open to interpretation so ask for other people’s points of view as well to see if they can give you a fresh perspective.

Creating this kind of artwork for your house can be really satisfying – not to mention addictive! After you’ve made your first triptych, we can guarantee you’ll be planning your next one…and don’t forget that they make excellent presents as well!
