Photos of family, friends and favorite places add a touch of personality and style to any room. But thinking of inventive and creative ways to display your pictures can sometimes be difficult. Frames can make a room feel cluttered, so try some of these fun ways to display your photos.
A good idea would be to mix frames of different sizes and styles but you would need more planning. In order for you rearrange them until you find a display that works, put the photos into the frames and spread them on the floor or on a tabletop. You may need help measuring and preparing to mount them onto the wall, but with or without help, you should start from the centre photos and work outwards.
A collage of family photos can fill a big space on a wall, and if done well, looks fantastic. You can build a picture of many framed photos by using paper frames like the ones used in scrapbooks instead of cutting the photos.
Photos can be transferred onto fabric to make fun cushions, a tablecloth or handbags that can be hung on a wall as a display. Family photos can be placed onto a tray, lamp base, or mirror frame for an unusual effect.
When photographs are being grouped on a bookshelf, table top, or wall unit, keep in mind that you shouldn't overcrowd the area. The ideal number for groups of photos is 3, and you can also play around with different frame styles and types of photos to find the effect you want.
Frames have many styles and colors and you can make the photos stand out with brighter accent colors or tone it with the other decor in that room. You would want to show off your photos but this would depend on their quality so it may be a good idea to have them enlarged, retouched, or have special effects added.
You can display your photos in a modern way by using small metallic pegs to attach them on a wire and string them on thin wire across the room. This works quite well with modern decor.
Family photos can also be turned into fridge magnets or have it laminated and made into coasters or placemats. You can even have photos printed onto mugs for the family to use.
Your imagination is the only thing that can limit your options. By displaying photos, your house can become a home and bring it to life and make a reflection of the people living there. With a little planning and forethought, you can display your memories in an interesting way.
