The INVASION of Family Photos (For homes NOT for sale)

If you have a home for sale put all your photos away

I often go into homes that have a lot of family pictures everywhere and they don't even have space for artwork. So let's talk about how and where to display family photographs.

Family photographs tell our family history and can be a great way to let others know about your family.  So create one area in your home that is designated for displaying your photographs.  The ideal place is a hallway or family room.

Group your pictures in themes like family, travel and photo art. Before you start try to have your frames in the same color and similar frame style.  This will help to distract from the frames and draw attention to the picture.

When hanging a collection start in the center of the wall with the largest piece or four smaller ones that are similar.  Then work around this collection, balancing both sides, above and below as you proceed. 

As with any framed piece, always hang it with the distance of the largest mat between them.  When there is no mat keep the distance between the photos close enough that there is a relationship between them.

Family photos can also be used on pianos, desks and bedside tables and really warm up and create interest in bookcases as well.

Lastly, as your life fills with great memories (photos) make sure you narrow your pictures regularly.  I ask my clients often did you see your pictures when you came home today and they say no.  If you trade out your pictures regularly you will see them because they are new and fresh and they can't help but leave a smile on your face.
