Time for a test: What's your design type?

Before you begin designing your Pixum Wall Art, you should be aware of the type of design that suits you. What would you like to see in your wall photo? Which colours do you prefer? And which material is the right choice for you? Let's find that all out!

Memories kept for ever

The photo: the content of your wall art

The image used for your large format picture depends entirely on your own personal taste. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

Idea Examples
Photos which reflect the room Images of bright peppers, exotic fruit or coffee beans for the kitchen, the image of a blissful sandy beach or some fresh mussels for your bathroom
Memories of loved ones A collage of cherished family moments, memories from parties with friends, a large photo of the kids, or even an erotic, tasteful picture of your partner
Art Famous works by Da Vinci, Van Gogh or Norah McGuinness, fascinating pieces by modern and upcoming artists
Architecture Breathtaking building and architectural wonders from around the globe
Landscapes Your favourite images of nature and the wilderness, e.g. elegant ducks on the lake, a tranquil woodland scene or a fierce snowstorm

Obviously there are lots of other ideas and elements that might inspire you. And that?s not a problem! At Pixum, we don?t put any limits on your creativity.

Colours: bursting with colour or just black and white

Having a wide array of colours in your wall art isn?t just about your own individual taste, it?s also about keeping things in balance with the rest of your decor and furnishings. In a minimalist flat where most of the furnishings are black and white, then a colourful picture can be the real eye-catcher. However, a wall art in black and white or sepia can also attract plenty of attention.

Format: Landscape, Portrait or Panorama?

The format and the size of the wall art is not a matter of personal taste, but rather it depends on the space available. The larger the available wall space, the larger the wall art. The panorama format is always perfect if you have captured an interesting panorama view with the panoramic function on your camera or if you want to create a photo frame of up to eight pictures with the Pixum Photo World software.

The Materials: Choose from eight different products

These are the materials that are available at Pixum:

  • Wood print:Printed on wooden boards, creating an especially rustic impression, this is best suited for natural family portraits and landscape photos
  • Photo poster: the best option if you're on a budget

Getting the arrangement right: Chaos or order?

Should everything be finely ordered and symmetrically adjusted on your wall, or do you prefer a slightly askew version? Choose from a variety of hangings, for example the golden section, gallery, sorted by size, with patterns?Or, if you?ve plenty of pieces to hang up, try the famous ?Petersburger Hängung?, by arranging the works in a single horizontal row.
