Our family portraits, those vacation memories, the snapshots from your son’s wedding… those are too precious to keep locked up in scrapbooks. Houzz.com wants to change the way we display those beloved smiles with the following ideas:
- Purchase matching frames (both in size and color) but hang an even number of photos in a puzzle format so that some of the photos are verticle and some are horizontal.
- Have your top picks transferred onto canvas and hang above a sofa or going up the stairs. Affordable Art & Frame in Oklahoma City (720-1284) offers this affordable service.
- Paint your wall grey, scan your photos into black and white and frame in black with white mattes. Hang in a horizontal cluster for a sleek look (photos go the length of the hallway/wall).
- String wire, twine or 2″ burlap ribbon across a wall or the front of a bookshelf; secure with decorative push pins. Use clothes pins to secure unframed photos to the wire, twine or ribbon (my personal favorite).
