We’ve been wondering what to do with the big blank wall in our loungeroom for some time now. We had an all-in-one picture frame collage thing we found at the meatball place hanging on the wall on our son’s room and that gave us the idea that we should make a real collage using our own frames. So that’s what we did!
Having an engineering background using CAD and spreadsheets, I naturally turned to those tools to help lay the collage out. I figured others could benefit from those tools too so I’ve made a video guide to making a picture collage and using a spreadsheet to precisely calculate where on the wall to put your picture hooks (or screws as in my case).
I’ve made the spreadsheet available here for anyone who thinks they could use it to make a collage for themselves. i’ve included both the blank spreadsheet and the one I used myself with the dimensions of all the frames I used.
I’ve also included the Fusion 360 files so that those of you with access to the CAD software can use that as well.
Take a look at my previous video on building the shelves around the TV if you haven’t already. It’s one of my personal favourites!
