You know, I get asked all the time, "Why do I need photos?" Or, "What in the world am I going to do with all those photos?" Well, I'm definitely not a home design expert, but I do know one thing for sure – photos make great decor!
So let's dive into the exciting world of home styling, shall we? Because today, I'm here to share some creative and fun ways to incorporate those cherished family moments into your home décor. So grab a glass of wine and get ready to sprinkle some family magic into your space! 🍷🏡
Gallery Wall Galore:
First things first, let's talk about my favorite option – gallery walls! Picture this: mixing and matching frames of different shapes, sizes, and colors to create a visually stunning display that tells your family's unique story. Pro tip: Start with a focal point (like a large portrait) and build around it with smaller photos and artwork. Seriously, it's like curating your own mini art gallery right in your living room!
The Commitment-Phobe's Solution:
Now, if you're anything like me, commitment can be a bit, well, daunting. I mean, asking me to put a hole in my pretty wall? You have got to be kidding me! What if that's not where I really want it? What if I measure wrong and end up with a crooked mess? The thought of ending up with holes scattered all over my walls is enough to make me break out in a cold sweat! But don't worry because I've got a game-changing trick up my sleeve. Here's what you do: cut out pieces of paper the same size as your frames. Then, grab some painter's tape (which won't damage your walls 😉) and tape those paper placeholders up. Now, you can experiment to your heart's content, trying out different layouts and arrangements until you find the perfect one.
Photo Collage Fun:
Short on wall space? No worries! Get creative with a photo collage. Imagine a corkboard adorned with twine and mini clothespins, showcasing your favorite snapshots in a fun and eye-catching display. It's like bringing Pinterest to life right in your own home!
Frame it Up:
Sometimes, simplicity is key. Invest in a few stylish frames and sprinkle them throughout your home. Whether you're into sleek and modern vibes or prefer something with a rustic charm, there's a frame out there to match your style. Plus, swapping out photos is a breeze, so you can update your décor with each new family milestone.
Why Printing Photos is a Game-Changer:
Now, you might be wondering – why bother printing photos when you can just scroll through them on your phone? Well, believe me, there's something truly magical about holding a tangible photo in your hands. It's like a little slice of nostalgia in a digital world, reminding you of the moments that matter most. Plus, printed photos add a personal touch to your home décor that you just can't get from a screen.
Gifts That Keep on Giving:
And let's not forget about the gift-giving potential of printed photos! Whether it's a heartfelt Mother's Day present or a surprise for Grandma's birthday, a custom photo gift is sure to warm the hearts of your loved ones. Personally I love getting photos of my nieces and nephew. Don't limit yourself to framed pictures you can get creative with: photo books, canvas prints, or even a set of stylish coasters featuring your family's smiling faces – the possibilities are endless!
Are you freaking out because all your photos are from 20 years ago? And you're rocking the baggy jeans and crop top or perhaps a velour tracksuit (oh, the horror!). Don't worry I have a solution! I'm super excited to announce that I'm currently booking Spring mini sessions! 🌷 It's the perfect opportunity to capture some fresh family moments and turn them into beautiful prints that you'll be proud to display in your home.
