Photo Art

We all do it compulsively don’t we, rush in at every birthday, Christmas party or wedding to get the best photo and perfectly capture the moment, but once it is all over and the photos have been developed they are carefully stored away in a box with the rest of our memories. And it’s even worse now because now we don’t even have to get the photos printed to see how they turned out so instead there are folders and files on our computers of the events we have been a part of but which are not being remembered.

Photo art is one of the easiest, most affordable and not to mention personal ways to decorate your home. When choosing wall art for your home you know to choose a piece which means something special to you and how much more special can you get than personal photographic memories of your life?

There are so many ways to display your photos and you will also have so many photos once you start looking that the hardest part will be to choose how to display your memories. You can start by hanging a pin board in a neutral colour where you can attach photos randomly and this not only allows you to create a personal display, you can also change it when you want to refresh the look, or when you have new photos to add.

If you are decorating your new home, you can even take your photos to the same framer you are using to frame you new pieces of wall art to either get matching frames made, or to see if they can recommend some contrasting funky frames which you can easily work into your new design and colour scheme.

And also remember that if you are clustering a group of photo frames on your wall, don’t use the types of frames where you fit in ten different photos, because each person and each event is special enough to deserve their own photo frame, and a cluster of funky frames makes a striking wall art display.
