Embracing memories, capturing moments, and adorning your walls with personalized artistry is a timeless expression of individuality and warmth within any home.
One of the most delightful ways to improve your space is through the arrangement of multiple photos, each telling its own story and collectively painting a beautiful narrative.
Here are several ways you can arrange three pictures on a wall, including templates and photo examples to help make it as easy as possible to get the look you desire.
1. Symmetrical Arrangement
In this first layout, we explore the classic elegance of symmetry using larger frames for a bold statement.
Opt for three identical-sized frames, creating a harmonious balance that commands attention. Centered alignment offers a polished look, drawing the eye with its seamless presentation.
Space the frames approximately three to four inches apart to ensure they complement each other while maintaining visual impact.
We’ve included two examples below of photos shared by Posterjack customers of their own three-picture wall display.

2. Dynamic
This layout combines different frame sizes for an eye-catching display. Pair two square 10x10 inch frames with one panoramic 8x24 inch frame, offering a unique blend of symmetry and asymmetry.
This arrangement invites intrigue and captivates attention with its unconventional proportions. Space the frames approximately two to three inches apart, allowing each photo to shine while contributing to the overall aesthetic appeal of the wall.
Let your creativity flourish as you curate a gallery wall that speaks volumes about your distinctive style and personality.
The example below is featuring three Posterjack Photoboards.
3. Vertical Arrangement
A vertical display is great for small spaces and narrow walls. Stack three identical frames, each measuring 8x12 inches, to create a captivating display that draws the eye upward with grace and elegance.
Consistent sizing offers a sense of cohesion and balance, allowing the photos to seamlessly complement one another. Space the frames approximately two inches apart to maintain visual harmony while ensuring each image receives its well-deserved spotlight.
4. Asymmetrical Adventure
Unleash your creativity with the whimsical charm of asymmetry. Embrace the opportunity to play with a variety of frame sizes and orientations, crafting an arrangement that ignites conversation and intrigue.
This layout thrives on individuality, inviting you to let your imagination run wild. Mix frames, incorporating one sized at 8x10 inches and two 11x14 inches, spaced approximately two to four inches apart for optimal visual impact.
For added dimension, select photos that complement each other, with one framed in landscape orientation and the other in portrait, creating a dynamic interplay between horizontal and vertical perspectives.

5. Grid Layout
Add a touch of modern sophistication to your space with a grid layout that exudes chic elegance.
Line up three square frames in a neat row, creating a captivating display of precision and refinement.
This layout is perfect for minimalist spaces craving a touch of contemporary allure. It’s also a great option if you’re displaying pictures in a smaller space, since this layout looks great with smaller frame sizes.
The example here is using 10x10 inch Gallery Boxes, spaced approximately one to two inches apart.
6. Eclectic Ensemble
Our final layout celebrates the eclectic spirit, inviting you to mix and match frames of various sizes and colours for a truly unique display.
Embrace the beauty of diversity as you craft a gallery wall that reflects your personal style and flair. Let your creativity soar as you experiment with different arrangements, spacing, and compositions.
The example shown below is featuring a 12x18 inch Wood Print (top-left print), a 14x18 inch Barnwood Framed Print (bottom-left print), and a 16x20 inch Acrylic Print (photo displayed on the right).
