‘Thinking of displaying old and memorable family photographs onto your walls? There is no easy way in doing that. Pictures that have been taken during varying occasions in people’s lives using different cameras are a great way to liven up walls. Different kinds of technology pose different challenges when it comes to posting them.
Family photographs, having come from different eras often do not match. Some photos could still be in black and white while most could already be in color. There is also the added task of framing the photos in ways that would emphasize their beauty.
How – exactly – would you frame and eventually display photos in style?
Plan
Family photographs must be enjoyed at eye level. So go ahead and take a pencil and mark the spots where you are supposed to hang the photographs. Use painter’s tape if you need a more visible approach in marking the walls. For some, this could even be used to make the photographs stick to the wall.Just as you would any endeavor, you must plan your photo arrangements. Who would want to punch a multitude of nails into the walls, right? If you are still renting, then your landlord will surely thank you for taking care of the walls.
You must also decide which walls will become the informal photo gallery. Of course, you can’t just pepper the walls with uncoordinated photographs so decide which wall you would use from the onset. Hallways, stairways and bedrooms are popular areas.
Decide also whether you would want the photographs to be hung symmetrically or asymmetrically. Whichever you choose, there should always be a unified look for all the photographs.

Create a Story
When planning on how to display the family photos on your walls, consider telling a story. We may already be living on the digital era but we still want to display the things representing people whom we love most.
The family photographs could turn a sterile wall into something more welcoming. Tell that story when you went on your first trip to Paris. Hang those right in the middle of the living room. When in the kitchen, consider displaying the photographs of the whole family eating at a seafood restaurant.
Be imaginative. You can have this as a DIY weekend project for the entire family or you could choose to hire a professional. You may think that it’s too much to hire a professional just to hang old family photos but – keep in mind that – putting up framed photos haphazardly on your walls is just like allowing junk to be displayed.
Family photographs have to be coordinated whether by story, color, size or pattern. Even an asymmetrical display will look nice when there is a single concept that unifies all of the framed memories. And who says one can’t use an abstract concept in hanging photos on walls?
How about using time-tested concepts in displaying memories? Sometimes, hanging pictures is as easy as using cool thumbtacks to affix the photos right onto the walls. The colorful thumbtacks could even become a part of the art.
Hanging vintage frames is best done by having them at an equal distance from each other. If you already have a wide variety of photo frames or have collected a good number of professionally-framed ones, then have them hung artistically, meaning, it’s up to you if you want them perfectly aligned or unbalanced. Art, after all, depends on the perception of its creator.
Add or Swap
Your family might have a great collection of memorable photographs now but your history isn’t finished yet. More occasions will be celebrated and more family members will be added. As your family grows and even changes, keep adding or swapping the photos on the walls.
