Creating a portrait wall featuring your four-legged family members is a great way to transform an empty wall into a personal gallery. Here's our guide to creating a memorable and stylish display of your beloved pets.
Choose your style
Start by deciding on the overall feel. You can choose from:
- Uniform style with the same motif template for all portraits
- Mixed style where you combine different themes that complement each other
- Chronological display showing the different ages of the pet or the entire family's history of pets
Size combinations that work
For a balanced portrait wall, try these tried-and-true combinations:
- Three 30x40 cm portraits in a row for a classic look
- A central 50x70 cm portrait surrounded by four 15x20 cm for dramatic effect
- Symmetrical grouping of six 30x40 cm portraits in two rows
Tips for color harmony
- Choose frames in the same shade for a cohesive look

Practical planning
- Measure the wall area carefully
