5 Tips for Decorating with Photos

On this Mother's Day, children all over the country are probably giving one of the most sentimental gifts... a photograph.  Not only are photos a great way of remembering special occasions and milestones, they can also add something special to the decor in your house.  Here are a few tips on decorating with your photographs:
  1. Pick a Topic. Choose photos that are a similar theme.  All from the same setting or trip, one child through the years, or just your furry friend.
  2. Frame Colors. Once you have your photos picked out, select frames that are all the same color.  Even if your photos look different, your frames can still tie them altogether.
  3. B&W.  When in doubt, have your photos printed all in black and white.  
  4. Get Hangin'.  Play around with the placement of the photos in a group together. Balance them symmetrically, or have a central photo and position the others around it.  Here's a great guide we found at www.annbeckphotography.com:

  5. Don't Forget Your Album! Substitute your new Blu Daffodil album for one of the photos. It's a great way to display your album and save some storage space.  Just purchase a plate holder at your local arts and crafts store and attach it to the wall.
