Hexagon Photos for Every Wall – Even Where You Least Expect Them

You Know the Feeling…

Your home is set up, everything in its place. The sofa, the lamps, that lovely print above the sideboard. But then your eyes fall on a forgotten corner: the wall beside the stairs, the sloped loft wall, or that narrow strip in the downstairs loo. And you think: “What could I do here?”

Not something ordinary. Not a standard rectangular frame. Something personal – something that makes you smile every time you walk past.

That’s exactly where our Shapes^® – hexagon photo tiles – come in.

What Are Hexagon Photos?

Hexagons are six-sided photo tiles made from durable lightweight material. You hang them with a magnetic system and smart spacer – which means:

• No drilling or tools needed
• Always straight with even spacing
• Easy to move or expand whenever you like

And the best part? You decide the layout: in a row, a cluster, a flowing line or a playful criss-cross.

Unexpected Places, Big Impact

Up the Staircase

That long, narrow stair wall is tricky. Frames hang too high or too low. With hexagon photos, simply follow the stair line.

Tip: Place a row of six hexagons diagonally upward. Start at the bottom with a childhood photo and let the wall “grow” with memories to the top. Optionally add Felt Letters^® with “Growing together”.

Under a Sloped Loft Ceiling

Lofts are cosy but hard to decorate. Straight frames rarely suit a sloped wall. Shapes^® naturally follow the roofline.

Picture a guest room or game room where a Shapes® pattern accentuates the slope. Mix family photos with graphic elements or a playful image from our library.

Even the Smallest Room Counts

The smallest room deserves attention too. There’s often just enough space for something special.

Try five hexagons stacked vertically with witty quotes – or a mix of black-and-white photos and Felt Letters^®. Even a quick visit becomes an experience.

Themed Rooms Brought to Life

Practical Tips

• Plan your layout on a table first to decide the pattern calmly
• Use the spacer for even gaps – it almost places itself
• Match the number of tiles to the wall – sometimes less is more
• Mix photos with quotes or graphic elements
• Choose colours that fit the room’s mood (calm in the bedroom, playful in the Toilet)
