Share
Decorating a room can be tricky when deciding which wall to display photos on. Many ask, “Which wall should we not hang photos on?” At PerfectArto, we guide you to avoid common mistakes while making your art the centerpiece it deserves to be.
Walls to Avoid Hanging Photos
1. Direct Sunlight Walls
Sunlight fades photos and damages prints over time.
2. Walls with Clutter or Obstructions
Avoid walls cluttered with switches, shelves, or bulky furniture.
3. Narrow or Small Walls
Tiny walls often make framed photos feel cramped.
4. Walls Behind Doors or High-Traffic Zones
Constant movement can lead to accidental damage.
5. Sloped or Irregular Walls
Uneven surfaces make alignment difficult and disrupt visual harmony.
PerfectArto Tip: Focus on walls that provide balance and allow the photos to stand out naturally.
