Show me your family photo displays

[jnoellee]

I need inspiration to get pictures up on the walls and I'm not sure where to start. Maybe I'll do something in the hallway or above the couch?

Do you start with the frames and then figure out what pics that should go inside? Lol.

Yeah, I think that's the best order of business. Figure out a spot, then find the shape/size frames you want. Then print off the pics (if you need to) in the correct sizes.

If you already have professional pics with sizes already determined then you have to work around that.
We have mostly white or silver frames. I don't like things looking too dark and heavy.

This is on a wall in the living/dining room area
I just buy cheap black frames in various sizes. Most are from Walmart or dollar tree.
I just order our professional pictures in various sizes and then buy frames.
Forgot the picture

AndyCohen, show us how you laid yours out on your computer :-)

We have different sized canvas prints of A and our nephews on the wall going upstairs. We have a huge framed portrait on the mantel in our living room, (I forget what size). We also have other canvas and framed prints around the living room and the rest of the house. Some of the frames were bought to fit prints we ordered, and some prints were ordered to fit frames I liked.

I did a bunch in our stairwell. I just found a layout I liked from browsing pintrest and bought the frames, then picked the pictures.




The pictures look crooked in this picture but they aren't.

I went to Michaels and laid frames on the floor until I found a combination I liked:



Then I used a design program I have to set it up on my computer to choose which photos I wanted:

I have ocd with this type of thing so the thought is already giving me anxiety lol

[browneyedhunni85]

I need to buy frames so bad. Our photographer sent the prints and they are still in the box.

[teamhayes]

I buy a ton of frames from ikea and just store them

We have a slamming door problem so pictures fall a lot

[charmediamsure]

I've since switched out some photos to include Juliet, but this is the layout:



The little teal ones I got from Target. I had been searching everywhere for something to go with our Home Sweet Home sign.

Ours is just a mish mash lol, nothing fancy.

This canvas was a gift, and it's on our first floor


This is a collage I made, and it's in the kitchen 


And this is in our dining room area

My frames are Mainstays brand from Walmart , and I love them!

I also got 12 8x8 matted to 5x5. I plan to pick my 12 favorite photos of the year. I got them in 4-packs from michaels.

We installed a fake plate rail and put photos up. I need to fill it out a little more and add pictures of C. Sorry for the crappy pics. Lighting right now is terrible.

ETA I also do little vignettes around the house like this one in our living room

[devonpow]

We don't have a gallery wall or anything. I put most in our 2nd floor hallway. I use the same frame for all photos on walls through the house - just different sized frames and mats (photos on shelves I use different frames). I like the look of fewer photos so they stand out more - here are some bad pics of our upstairs hallway. The main floor we don't have photos on walls because we have mostly paintings on display, but we do have them on things like our living room shelving (another bad pic)

Down the stairs to the playroom and on the wall in the playroom

I spent HOURS looking at layouts on Pinterest and then said screw it and kind of winged it. I'm pretty proud of myself

This is the wall in our living room leading to the kitchen.

Those of you with lots of pics do you change the pics? I love those looks but don't know where I'd put it. Maybe in my bedroom
