A good option is to keep your photos above your bed so that you can see them better when you go into your room.
You can keep a clothesline or cord on the wall and hang your photos on the cord with clips. This will allow you to secure them to prevent them from falling down.
2. A clock with your favorite photos
Another great idea brings together two prized personal items your photos and your clock. You can make a really original clock using the photos as numbers.
- You just need a clock mechanism and 12 of your favorite photos.
- Stick them up with an adhesive that doesn’t damage the wall and place the clock hands in the center. Done!
3. Personalize your jars and lids
You can buy jars with transparent lids and stick the photo to the edges. Inside you can place accessories like sand, sequins, or little pearls.
This will give your photos a different touch and you can hang them up or put them on your desk.
4. Make a collage
Simple but beautiful. You can choose to make a collage of your photos and those of your family. Using black and white pictures can give it a spectacular touch!
Play with the size and direction of the pictures, until you create a general square that contains all your photos.
5. Hang your memories on a stick!
A very chic variant to hang up your photos is to use a tree branch or a wooden stick.
- Hang the stick on the wall and tie several strings to it so that they hang vertically.
- Then stick or clip the photos to them however you like best and you will have a hanging photo album.
6. A garland of photos
Continuing with the trend of hanging photos, a good option is to use some fairy lights as a string.
Hang them up along the whole wall and attach your photos to them.
This will give your room a touch of light and it’s also perfect for lighting up your pictures.
7. Use a frame
You can also use a frame and paint it to give it a vintage touch or your own style.
- You can use nails to attach the strings to the frame, or you can stick or tie them.
- Once you have the right number of lines to fit your frame, hang up your photos using clips.
8. A column with your photographs
If you want to decorate an empty column, a very good idea is to fill it with photographs, according to the shape of the wall.
- To show your photos in a sophisticated way, we recommend you use pieces of wood and that you paint them the color you prefer.
- Then stick the photos onto the wood with glue for varnished surfaces and leave it to dry.
