Hexagon Photo Walls: Give Your Team a Face

You Know the Feeling…

You walk into a building and look around. Bright light, fresh walls… but beyond that? A reception without faces. An office without warmth. A school without familiarity. And yet you know: here are people working with real passion. So why not show them?

With a hexagon photo wall, you give your team a literal place on the wall – recognisable, inviting and full of character. Whether it’s teachers, healthcare workers or office colleagues: Shapes^® combine structure and personality.

What Are Hexagon Photos (and Why Are They So Practical)?

Hexagons are six-sided photo tiles made from lightweight plastic, printed with your own portraits or images. They come with a magnetic hanging system and a clever spacer. That means:

• No drilling, nails or hassle
• Always the perfect spacing
• Swap or rearrange tiles whenever you like

Perfect for places where teams change, school years rotate or departments grow.

For Schools and Childcare: Everyone Visible

A school is more than lessons. It’s a place where children should feel safe and welcome – and faces help make that happen.

A hexagon photo wall in the entrance or staffroom:

• Shows pupils and parents who’s part of the team
• Makes the building feel more welcoming for new families
• Celebrates the people who make a difference every day

Tip: Print your school logo across multiple hexagons as a central feature. Surround it with portraits of teachers, assistants and support staff.

The result? A dynamic, recognisable display that shows who you are at a glance.

For Hospitals, Clinics and Care Facilities

In healthcare, trust is everything. Patients feel safer when they know: these are the people looking after me.

• Show your team at the entrance or reception
• Use different colours or styles for each department
• Mix portraits with images of your workspace, values or illustrations

Add a warm touch with Felt Letters^® – with phrases like: “We’re here for you” or “Care with heart”.

And when someone leaves or joins? Simply swap out one tile – quick, clean and without damage.

For Offices and Businesses: Strengthen Team Spirit

A strong team deserves to be seen. With hexagon photo tiles, you showcase the people behind your brand. Not in a sterile line-up, but in a playful pattern that says: we’re more than just colleagues.

Use Shapes^® for:

• Onboarding walls: creatively introduce new employees
• Team structures: visualise departments or project groups
• Company culture: add quotes or visual values

Combine portraits with abstract designs or industry details, for example:

• Stethoscopes and heartbeats for a cardiology practice
• Blueprints for an architecture firm
• Typography for a creative agency

Show Who You Are

Whether you teach in a classroom, work in a clinic or lead an office team – people make the difference. A hexagon photo wall gives them a visible place. Simple, stylish and flexible.
