Decoration: Tips to display favorite photos - Do you remember when we used to get our processed photos? We could send the film rolls away, or pay extra for them to be ready in an hour, only to discover that half the pictures were developed! Digital cameras have helped us to take better pictures, but the images are too often on our laptops and are shared on Facebook. This means that we run on one of the most exciting aspects of decorating our homes - making friends, family and favorite part of the design locations. So get inspired to develop your shots with brilliant ideas to display your favorite pictures.

Invite floor
the wall along the stairs is a great place to hang pictures. It makes an otherwise dead space feel warm and welcoming and encourage you to pause and admire the images as you move between floors.

Pose for a portrait
painted portraits were the original way to put a member of the family favorite on the wall. Here, the portraits are hung close together, to create a chart, amazing surface images. Create something similar with your own personal people shots. image editing programs such as Foto Sketcher can be downloaded from the Internet and used to give family photo the look of an oil painting or watercolor.

stick to black and white
Take black and white photos, then hang them in black frames for a modern uniform look. To keep things interesting, use a mixture of styles and sizes and frame your images together in bunches, rather than hang in straight lines.

Cover every inch
It might be the norm to have pictures at eye level, but covering every inch of wall is much more dramatic. Mix in works of art, too, for a really eclectic wall.

use a suspension system
a simple picture rail with fixed frames perfectly suspended from it is an easier way to create a symmetrical display than using a tape measure and a set 'hooks images.

find the straight and narrow
Decorate a vertical space with a high column of images that runs all the way up and down. This could be the stairwell, or a narrow or wide wall. Space the image creates maximum impact and consider using a patterned wallpaper behind the images, like a funky contrast.

Let things develop naturally
Do not overthink your photos where and how work - they come together naturally. Your screens will evolve over time, just like your family, and you can add pictures of events such as weddings and baptisms as they occur. If you feel like something is missing in your screen, which gives you just an excuse to take more pictures of your family or favorite places and hang.
