Placing framed photos of your family on top of the piano or entry way console is one way to decorate with family photos. Pasting them all over the refrigerator is another method. But there are so many other unique and imaginative ways to showcase your family.
- Switch your photos out periodically. You can replace your everyday family photos with pictures representing the season or holiday. For example, choose photos of family vacations and place them in lighthearted frames to display during the summer season. During the holiday you can use photos of the kids visiting Santa throughout the years. And don’t stop displaying these just because your kids are grown! The fall season is the perfect time to show photos of Halloween costumes, apple picking, sporting events etc. And, of course, winter ski pictures will remind you of great times with your family.
- Group a collection of black and white photos on the wall. Framed in matte black frames, this creates an interesting gallery for a hallway or stairwell.
- Have throw pillows made depicting each family member. This will eliminate arguments during TV time as to who gets what pillow. And what a unique way to decorate a family room. You can include the family pet or grandparents who live out of town. And if there is a member of the family who is away, such as a serviceman or woman or a parent who travels frequently, these pillows are a nice way to “stay connected” during their absence.
- Have a piece of pop-art made using your favorite photograph. You can choose an Andy Warhol look, a collage of photos or a picture enhanced to look like an oil painting. This is an affordable and personal way to add custom artwork to your home.
Unlike paint colors or furniture styles, family is not trendy. It will never go out of style and is always in fashion. So be creative and display your family photos with pride.
