Creative Ways to Display Your Photographs

Photography is by far one of the most fascinating man-made inventions. The ability to freeze a moment and keep it forever is priceless. Just think of the times you felt nostalgic about an old family trip or you missed a late relative…… just looking at old photos can certainly lift your spirits and help you refresh wonderful memories. Smartphones and digital cameras have made it easy for us to snap a picture anywhere, anytime. However, there is something much more special about printed photos that you can hold in your hand, or frame to display around your home. Unlike digital albums, photo albums are family heirlooms that get passed down from one generation to the next, and it is so much nicer to gather around a photo album than around someone’s phone, right? So let’s get those photos off our phones and computers and truly enjoy them! (Note to self as well!)

Let’s take a look at some creative ways for displaying your prized photos for everyone to enjoy:

Create a Wall Collage 

Find a wall in your home where you might normally hang art, and create a photo collage. Choose your favorites and cover the whole wall from floor to ceiling. The trick here is to use amazing quality photos. Professional photo printers at artphotolimited.com promise an unrivaled quality with money-back guarantee should you have an issue with the delivered product. This wall collage will look amazing and of course add a unique touch to your home. You can use different-sized, framed photos, but try to choose ones with homogeneous colors to maintain a level of elegance in the room.

Peg photos on strings

Hanging photos as one would clothes on a line looks lovely, especially in your kids’ bedrooms. You can use photos from your kids’ birthday parties and their baby pics and peg them in tandem on colorful strings. You can make a fun project out of it and have your kids help with adding beads and other fun objects in between the photos. After you are done, you can hang the strings of photos above their beds or on any spot with horizontal space.

Print photos on china

These days, you can pretty much print photos on any kind of material. A fancy way of displaying your family portraits is to have them printed on china plates. Bring your own quality plates on which to print the photos to a professional photography printer and go to town! You can hang your photo plates as wall decor above the fireplace or the staircase wall. Plan ahead and use plates in several sizes for the most interesting results.

Create your own wallpaper design

You can use  landscape photos from your various travels and design your own unique wallpaper pattern. One can also use non-specific yet lovely close up nature photos of leaves and rocks, or scenic photos of plants and greenery for example, which could make perfect wallpaper for a cabin-like study or rustic guest room.

Upgrade your wooden side tables

Personalize your side table with a quirky upgrade and print your photos on the tabletop. This can give a simple inexpensive table a vintage chic look and will add that touch of something unexpected to your home.

Use a collage frame

Collage frames are an easy way to display different photos while creating a look that is put-together and fun. You can find many options with different frame size and materials or color. Choose a collage frame that works with the decor in your home, and you’ll be so happy with the results of this simple solution for displaying photos.

With so many options for using photos in home decor, now is the time to take out those old photo albums, dust them off, and use your favourite photos in any of the ways suggested. Displaying photos can be both the perfect decorating touch and a fresh way to create a cozy and warm ambiance!
