One of the best and easiest ways to make your home more stylish and comfortable, so you can live in the surrounding where you have favorite things up on the wall. You can put your family and friends’ pictures or framer on the walls. Not only in the living room and bedrooms, but you can also use the staircase, gallery, and kitchen for displaying your family pictures.
There is no right or wrong way of displaying pictures on the wall, but there is some stylish and classic and non-stylish way of displaying them. But this is totally up to the family who is putting their frames on the wall and its ok if you like in that way, don’t bother anyone.
Plan Your Arrangement Before You Hang The Photos
When you have planned to put nail holes into your walls to hang family photos over there, this is much better to make a plan before hanging them. If you are living in a rented house, your house owner might be thankful for you. Some people use pencil marks before drilling the wall, but it’s up to you how you take things.
Some people use tracing paper for designing frames placement on less expensive paper that could be wrapping paper. Then cut out the tracing and adhere to these cut-outs on the wall with the help of painter’s tape. You can change the arrangement of the photo multiple times unless you feel satisfied with the draft.
Here we are going to discuss some of the best ways to display your family photos in detail; you can opt, anyone, if it appeals to you.
Go big
One of the perfect ways to hang your pictures more stylishly is to go big. Rather than going for numerous small and cluttered frames up on the wall surface. You can go for a single and large frame with little accessories that will be enough to provide some excellent focal point in the locality. But make sure before ordering the big prints, the size will be proportionally balanced with the place where it will be placed.
Same frames but design varies
You have a variety of pictures to display at your home, and you wonder how you can get matching frames. Don’t worry, if you want to go for the same color of frames, better let go of the frame’s style restriction. But you can stick to your favorite color. For instance, you can pick a frame of black color, some can be thick, thin, double mats, and some have two folds.
Arrangements of frames
If you have a large wall to display several pictures, go for multiple small, large and combination of pictures instead of hanging a single big piece. You need to determine the size and orientation of the frame, so they look good on the wall and consider the height and horizontal space of the place where the picture is going to be mounted.
You can cut templates from the wrapping paper if you are facing trouble in balancing the frame.
Hang picture where it can be appreciated
It is a personal preference where to hang family pictures instead of some artwork, and it is up to you to decide which place is better. Pictures can be displayed in those places where they don’t only fill the gaps and add beauty to the room. But it must be at the place where they can be seen and truly appreciated by others.
Dining area
One can mount pictures of their loved one in sepia tones or greyscale. You can mixture these pictures with black white and gold set of frames that can seamlessly go with the decor of the area. But make sure that pictures should have been collected over time.
Grid arrangement
You can hang pictures of all family persons in a sequence of a simple grid. You can go for the simple equilateral grid on the selected wall of the tv lounge or sitting area. One can go for black and white portraits framed with pure black old retro styled classic stuff. And there be good light shedding on the frames so they can show the amazing aesthetic that’s in your mind.
If you put “gallery wall ideas” or “how to make a gallery wall” on Pinterest, you will have a bombardment of pictures that contains billions of frames, typography hanged on the walls.
Hallway gallery
Firstly you need to give a breathing room if you have selected black and white pictures to hang on the walls. Then you can put some white mats, and you can then go for dark frames made of wood. This is how you can create a gallery-style arrangement that is prone to give a visual inconsistency.
Eclectic style wall
One of the most favorable styles to display pictures is an eclectic style, and this is in demand right now. This is why it adds character to the space you have; you can use this style of hanging portraits in your master bedroom to add some refreshing look to the area.
The important point to give eclectic style is to make everything seem cohesive and consistent, and it shouldn’t depict that this wall is designed purposefully, quite confusing?
You can mix photos of black and white combination with colored one; go for black, white, gold or brass frames. You can also add some sort of abstract with your family photos, and you can go for mixing small and large frames. Also go for square, rectangular or customized frames.
Over-the-top photo display
Keep in mind that bright colored frames can heighten the vibrant hues in the dark and add glow to photos and complements the cool and more faded colors. So this way you can put brighter pictures upside and decrease the tome of the frames and pictures towards down.
A kitchen gallery
I believe family photos are not meant to be only displayed at the living or bedrooms, why don’t we use the kitchen to display family frames there. Family photos can decorate the kitchen wall above the bar cart.
Group black and white photos
Using black and white pictures together to make a gallery at home is one of the top appreciated options nowadays. The black and white finish doesn’t only make the image show timelessness, but this also unifies the picture; by creating a classic look.
You can reprint the older pictures in black and white, whereas new pictures can easily turn to b&w using digital cameras and bit photo editing technology.
Matching frames
One more trendy technique of displaying family photos is to purchase matching frames. No matter if the pictures are of a different time and have some different looks, the frame’s uniformed outlines can lash them together firmly.
And if you want to go for a light and spacious solution, you can go for white frames for your black and white pictures.
Do you think these differences matter in designing a vignette? Not! So try it.
Wrapping Up
Snapping is interesting; you can immortalize some of your natural and factual expressions. These picture collections can be displayed in different areas of your place. You can get inspiration from magazines, online blogs, and Pinterest accounts, but if you look around people’s creativity, you can be a great motivator by their aesthetics. Next time you visit any of your relatives or friend, do observe their family photo display section to get some inspiration.
Don’t be scared, roll up your sleeves and do it yourself when it’s about designing a gallery wall.
