When making a space really feel like home, it is often the personal touches that do so. A photo gallery is a great addition to a home because it surrounds you with some of your favorite memories. Photos that you can see and touch always hold a special place in our hearts. Gallery walls are a much loved wall art feature in interior decorating but as a DIYer, they can be a bit daunting to figure out how to make the frames all match and how to display them evenly. That is why I am so happy to have discovered Shiner Photo. They do custom photo prints on wood squares with an easy to display system. Just print photos on wood and hang! Shiner Photo provided me with several handmade wooden photo blocks to facilitate my review.
How To Make A Gallery Wall The Easy Way With Shiner Photo Blocks
Interior Designer, Laura Thurman, says a gallery wall “can real show-stopper. Just be sure to space everything equal distance apart.” Often time gallery walls struggle to come together because there are too many types and sizes of frames in use. With Shiner, you order your photo on wood (not cheap acrylic blocks, but high quality Birch wood). They print photos on wood blocks. These photo blocks for wall come with an easy hanging system. Because they are all the same size and depth, you get a nice flat surface for your wall display.

I was just blown away at how clever these photo blocks are and how easy they make it to install any pattern you like.
The photo blocks can be arranged in any pattern you like such as a simple square or rectangle. I like those shapes because they make it easy add to your family photo gallery wall by just adding a new row each year. But you could also do a more complex pattern like a heart or a cross, etc. The paper photo hanging template that arrives with your photo allows you to evenly space your design whatever you chose.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 17th anniversary and we took a family trip back to Costa Rica where we had our honeymoon. I chose to make a gallery wall with some of our favorite photos of the trip to commemorate the special occasion.
We had so much fun hiking the rain forest around the Arenal Volcano, checking out the beaches in Jaco, and exploring the cloud forest canopy in Santa Elena. And now I will always cherish the wood blocks that help capture those memories. I chose to display the wood photo blocks under a mirror we got in Costa Rica that is framed by a slice of wood and a toucan painting.
