Finding a place to display your family photos can be a challenge. Some people want every wall in their home covered in photos of the people they love, while others choose to find a more discreet way to display them. With a little thought and planning, photos can make for beautiful wall décor. Here are some tips to suit every taste.

1. Hall of Memories One popular place to display family photos in on a long hallway wall. This allows room for photos to be displayed in a number of ways including chronologically, grouped by family member or even placed randomly. Add other elements, such as decorative wall mirrors that match your décor, to create a display that is unique.

2. You’re Not Alone Instead of having a wall full of nothing but family photos, consider using photos as part of a bigger wall display that includes other elements. Interesting photo frames paired with metal wall art , Venetian glass mirrors and other wall décor can turn your family photo collection into part of a collage of sorts. This type of display can easily act as the focal point of a family or dining room. You can have the photos be the dominant feature, or add just a few. Play around with it to find the look that is just right for your room.

3. Mix it Up Instead of having a display with matching frames, mix it up. Display photos in a variety of frames that complement each other. Mix up shapes, frame details, textures and colors to turn a boring display into one that has depth and is visually interesting.

4. Everywhere You Go Instead of trying to pack all of your favorite family photos into one room, consider spreading them throughout the house. In each room, display a few photos. This allows you to see photos of those you love no matter what room you are in while helping to avoid one room from looking cluttered with too many photos. You don’t have to hang photos in every room. In some rooms, simply set a few framed photos on a shelf, end table or mantle.

5. Screen It Another fun way to display family photos is with a photo screen. This is a room divider that has several slots for photos. It’s perfect for a large family room. You can use the screen to hide a small desk or a piece of workout equipment while displaying your photos in a beautiful way.

However you decide to display your photos, in one spot, paired with iron wall art or mirrors or spread throughout your home, gets those photos out of the albums and place them where you can see and enjoy them every day.
