We may take hundreds or even thousands of photos every month, but how often do we take the time to get those images off our hard drives and up on our walls?
If your walls are covered, then great!
If not, this article is for you.
Be prepared to be inspired by the ideas featured below.
Over the last year, I have made an effort to create unique photo displays that are a reflection of the décor of our home and my personal aesthetics.
There is something greatly satisfying about creating beautiful images and then proudly showcasing them in my home. That sense of pride in one’s own creations is something I want to instill in my children, so I believe highlighting my art (and theirs as well) is very important.
Here are a few of the ways I exhibit my photos:
The members of Clickin Moms delivered when I asked them to show me how they creatively display photos. They shared their groupings of frames, use of wall ledges, canvas clusters, and clever ways to feature small prints.
If you’ve been lacking inspiration, look no further.
Groupings of framed images
Grouping framed images together en masse is quite popular and makes a big impact.
The beauty of frames is that the prints can be changed easily and frequently, so if you have trouble committing to a single image for a large canvas, perhaps frames are a better choice.
Whether you prefer an eclectic mix of frames or a clean and simple look, there is room for framed images in every home.
Ledges
Ledges mounted to a wall provide a flat surface for arranging framed or mounted prints, canvases, and other unique photo products.
Canvases
Canvases offer a timeless way to present artwork. In my home, we view them as family heirlooms.
With that in mind, why hang up just one when you can have several? Canvases grouped together have a classic appeal that coordinate with any type of décor.
Displaying small prints
There will always be a place for small prints – 4x6s, square prints, and Instagram snapshots can have a spot on our walls as well.
Instead of storing them in a drawer or box, try one of these creative ways to share your favorite snapshots.
Loved this article! I am moving soon and need some ideas for our new home. This fits the bill!
I love the grouping with the twine, cloths pegs, and mesh circles!
can you tell me are those sink strainers, or for tea?
Love all the display ideas 🙂 Can't wait to get moved and use some of this inspiration!
much of my grandmothers' pictures are polaroids. I need a best way to display them. I am trying to scan everything and group into collages. Any Ideas. She wouldnt like the clothes line thing, way too many for that anyway, going back to 60's and 70's some of these pics!
thanks for any ideas!
