How to Display ALL the Photos in Your Home, Without it Being Overwhelming
Floating Shelf Accent Wall This is one of my favorite walls in my house. It is an easy way to display 9-10 photos in one spot without it taking over an entire wall. You can get a variety of sizes and orientation to put on the shelves. All you have to do is layer them, add in a couple accent pieces, and you have a super cute accent wall! These floating shelves can be found at just about any store, or if you want a more personal touch you can find them on Etsy or from a local woodworker.
Albums The best way to display ALL your photos, is with an album. When I was growing up, and still, I loved looking back at family albums. But they were usually tucked away in a closet. With a professionally printed album, they can sit on display where you can show them off easily. Because where will the photos go if you don’t print them?
Go Traditional This is one of the best places in your home to display a variety of photos. Just like with the floating shelf, you can pick out different sizes and different orientations. Then, pick a big one to hang up high. One that shows your family as who they really are, one that makes you smile everytime you walk past it.
The Kids’ Rooms Whenever my girls let me take their photo (they have PCS - Photographer’s Child Syndrome), they LOVE seeing their photo after! If you want to see your child freak out with excitement, put some giant prints of THEM in their room! Sutton’s favorite photos in her room, are the ones of her with mommy and daddy. If there is any reason to get photos printed, its to show your little ones all the memories. Or, what better way to welcome your new baby than with a maternity photo showing how excited you were waiting for them to make their grand entrance.
The Master Bedroom Who doesn’t love a gorgeous canvas?! But let’s be real, it’s the photo ON the canvas that makes it. Putting a large canvas above your bed is simple, yet a complete showstopper. But don’t forget this is your bedroom, it’s the perfect place to put your photos. Your wedding photos, your engagement photos, the photos of just the two of you from your family session. A few photos on your dresser and nightstand is the perfect spot. A simple accent wall to tell your love story, is the perfect addition to your bedroom. One big print or two big prints with a cute sign. It will be sure to make you smile everytime you see it.
Your Office My office is completely covered in photos of my girls and our family. I love being surrounded by them when I’m working, to remind me why I’m working. I also wish I had clients coming to my office so I could show off my adorable girls! And if you have a home office, family photos are the PERFECT decoration. Use pretty frames as accent pieces on bookcases and shelves, and your desk.
Wall Piece Finding a piece that compliments your house decor, and fits multiple photos, double win! This is an amazing opportunity to find a unique piece for your home as well.
