Ingenious Photo Wall

Interior designer Huong Vu offers an elevated approach to displaying photos in the entrance of your home. “Elevate your foyer with a personal touch by displaying travel photos along the hallway just above reach,” she suggests. This idea of creating a personal and unique display of black and white travel photos in the entryway gallery wall is a great illustration of that.

Vu also advises to consider the details of your photo display for maximum impact. “Coordinate frame colors with the door and maintain alignment with the wall paneling for added illusion of height,” she adds. By doing so, your gallery wall will not only showcase your memorable snapshots but also enhance the overall aesthetic of your entryway.

11 Things To Know Before Committing to a Built-in Desk

There is something so classic and beautiful about built-in furniture, especially if it’s original to the home and retains its original character. These traditional pieces infuse a home with so much life and interest that it’s easy to make the connection between bookcases and desks. It’s only been within the past few decades that the proliferation of built-in desks has exploded. This has only been more obvious in the remote-work era (pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/03/30/about-a-third-of-us-workers-who-can-work-from-home-do-so-all-the-time) we’re living in today.

While built-in desks add charm and beauty, they can also come with major drawbacks, including outdated designs, expensive materials, and a space that can become a dumping ground for items with nowhere else to go. On the other hand, they can also be stunningly beautiful workspaces that add beauty and character to a home and provide a quiet space to focus. Be sure to consider your family’s lifestyle, needs, and preferences as you peruse through our curated gallery below.
