Cool Photo Wall Display Ideas!



If you love pictures and photography and haven't already heard of Photojojo - you've got to check it out.  I've actually been a fan for a while now - I even bought their book which has some great photo projects and DIY ideas that are super-cool!

I was just perusing the Photojojo store and there are a couple of products that would make terrific and creative photo displays, and best of all - they are relatively inexpensive!

The Photo Clips (top and middle images at left) are cool, too - they are just small clear fasteners that allow you to clip photos together any way you want to build an arrangement for your wall.

One $10 box contains 110 clips - imagine the masterpieces you could build! Check out the Photojojo store to see more examples and to buy these awesome tools.

The Photo Rope (bottom left) is simply a 58-inch long metal line that you attach to the wall and it comes with 8 super strong tiny magnets that hold pictures to the rope wherever you want them - a very cool, sleek, and modern photo display!  Oh, and it comes in 5 colors!



Think Christmas, Hanukkah, or birthday presents, too!

Create a Corner Photo Wall Display??

I love this corner wall frame by Umbra.  It's fresh and original and just plain cool!  I don't know about you, but I have not seen a collage frame, or any frame for that matter, before that is designed to hang on the corner of a wall.   It holds twelve photographs - four 2.5" X 3", four 3.5" X 3", two 3.5" X 4" and two 4" X 6".  It includes mat boards and has a handsome espresso color finish. 

Umbra is a leader in casual, contemporary and affordable design for the home and I love many of Umbra's picture frames, so you're sure to see me featuring many of them here for you!

Photo Display Ideas for Stairways

If you have a bare stairway and are looking for a place to create a photo wall display - the wall adjacent to your stairs can be the perfect place for a family photo display.  The trick to creating a pleasing display is to make sure to follow the angle of your stairs.  The picture frames can be hung somewhat randomly, but in a pleasing arrangement of course.  Every two or so steps, measure the distance from the step to the bottom of your arrangement to ensure that it remains the same distance - the bottom of the photo display arrangement should be around two feet above the stair step just below it if at all possible.  If that rule of thumb isn't possible, don't fret because as long as it's at the same angle as the steps and equal distance from the steps throughout the arrangement it'll look great.

The frames, just like in most arrangements, should at least be similar.  They don't all have to be the same material, but should all be in the same color tone.  Similarly, the photographs themselves should be either all color or all black and white.  You can even incorporate collage photo display frames like the one pictured to the left here.  Click on the collage frame or the one above it for more details on them.  The picture at right is a good example of a great stairway family photo wall.

Family Photo Arrangements

If you're anything like this mom (me), you take tons of family pictures, especially of your kids.  I have certainly learned over the past couple of years how to hit that delete button, especially on blurry pictures - I used to not be able to delete any picture of my kids no matter how bad it was!

Okay, so you have all these wonderful pictures - now what?!  You want to show off your beautufil kids to the world, or at least that part of the world that actually enters your home.  But how?  My favorite thing to do is to create a photo wall display.  There are many different ways of arranging photo frames on a wall, depending on your taste, space availability, and number of photo frames to be hung.

You can create a static display or one that can easily be changed or rotated.  See great tips, how-tos, and examples of creative ways of arranging photo frames on a wall.
