Pictures of family and friends add warmth and personality to our homes. The more public the photo display, more creative you need to to display their treasures.
Every home has some wall space that can become an attractive photo display. Most people see their photos as priceless memories, so why not display them as works of art … create a gallery to show case your family and friends.
-Decide on what images to display. The photos have to be close and clear, otherwise the gallery may not be acute. -Create a theme – family vacation or for a special vacation. You can update your pictures on an annual basis … a party gallery each year.
Mixed-frames of different styles and sizes, you can be fun, but requires a little planning. Finding a constant theme of color or type of wood to balance the different forms and styles … the need to take the photos center stage, not the frames.
-Lay the framed photos on a table or the floor and rearrange until you find a workable arrangement. Start with the largest first images and surround them with smaller photos.
-Find a friend or relative for help in measuring and preparing to mount on the wall. Ask your leveling available to be sure that a picture that looks straight is really straight.
Other ideas:
Older photographs add character to your home. If you have an old favorite picture is fading, or has been damaged or wrinkled through the years, take it to a photo shop to have to restore and printed. You might even be able to do it yourself at home with photo imaging software. You may want to add a special effect, enlarge or crop the photo differently to add a new perspective for a family photo.
Great places to display your favorite photos on the tables, desks, bookcases, and its entertainment unit, the family of the wall. I received a gift of an oak dressing screen that contains the space of nine large 8×10 photos … what a wonderful viewing images of my children.
Transfer your favorite photo on a pillowcase or wall hanging. Collages of pictures of friends or family members tablecloths are great. Simply arrange and laminate.
Individual laminated photos can be affixed to magnets to put in the fridge and other metal surfaces in house.
For the special occasion, create a photo quilt. Photos can be transferred to fabric with ease. The quilt will be washed by hand, but what a treasure to give someone as a gift.
Finally, for all those special photos that do the Home screen Create your own scrapbook and add their stories about the photos.
