Transform Your Family Photos Into A Stunning Display

CENTURY 21 Mertz & Associates June 27, 2021

 
Family photos are a fantastic way to remember precious times and great memories with those that you love. However, when it's time to display them, our real estate agents know it can be tricky to create a picture-perfect display. Check out a few options that work well for turning a collection of photos into a gorgeous display.
 

1. Hang a Single Large Photo

Have a huge swathe of unused wall space? Pick out a single photo that you absolutely love, and have it blown up into an enormous print. This option works well for action shots and full-body poses that boast a picturesque landscape as the background. Photos from smartphones can look a little grainy when blown up to large sizes, so this alternative works well with a professionally captured image. Or, if you absolutely have your heart set on using a photo from your smartphone, opt for a sepia or black and white hue to camouflage any graininess.
 

2. Create a Tile Collage

If you have a lot of photos that you want to display, print them out so that they're the same size and shape. Then, arrange the photos in a large frame so that they look like tiles.
 

3. Use a Variety of Photo Frames

Mix things up on your photo wall by hanging frames in a variety of sizes and shapes. This option is a great solution for smaller wall spaces or if you want to use a lot of photos to set up a gallery wall in your home.
 

4. Hang a Photo Line

A photo line is a string that you use to clip photos on. You can select a photo line that's fairly basic (like a piece of wire), or you may pick an option that integrates twinkle lights. One awesome thing about a photo line is that you can quickly swap out your photos without having to take down and reposition a picture frame.
 

5. Create a Rainbow with Your Photo Frames

For this alternative, pick up multiple photo frames in the same size and style. Look for frames that can accommodate a photo mat. Then, use mats in different colors so that you have a rainbow of hues.
 

6. Mount a Photo Shelf

When you're exploring Lewisburg homes for sale, you'll see that nearly every property has room for a shelf. A floating shelf works well for this set-up, or you can go with a more conventional style. Once your shelf is in place, arrange photos across the front of the shelf using a variety of sizes. Feel feel to overlap the photos for a display with more depth.
 

7. Tape Photos to Your Door Frame

Use this display method in your bedrooms or home office. Take a small piece of sleek tape that's suitable for wall use and tape photos up the length of your door frame. The end result is a casual photo display that utilizes a space frequently left bare.
 

8. Display Photos with a Shadow Box

If you have photos from a specific outing or occasion you want to display, consider using a shadow box. A shadowbox allows you to incorporate three-dimensional items (like a rock, piece of cloth, dried flower, ribbon, or medal) into your photo collage.
