10 Inspirational Photo Display Ideas

Photo displays are a common feature in many of our homes. We want to show off and remind ourselves of the happy memories we’ve been able to capture. We can turn photos into a main feature of our homes – because why shouldn’t they be the most important part of our homes- instead of adding random photo frames as an afterthought to the interior design of our houses.

With clever ways to display our photos, we can showcase even more of our memories of favourite snapshots without it feeling like too much, or overpowering the room and diminishing the rest of your fabulous interior.

Have a look at these wonderful displays of photos in family homes and see if you can be inspired to showcase your photos better, and finally get rid of those outdated photo albums that take up too much storage at home:

1. Photo Canvas Collage

Photo display idea
There are no boundaries here, so as your family grows you can add more photos to the collage. It isn’t limited by sizes or formats, you can add randomly as you wish.

2. Diamond Format Photos

Black and white photos look artful
These black and white photos look artful in a strictly monochrome shower room. Hanged in diamond shapes, they provide a backdrop and focal point for the entire room.

3. Black And White Photo Line

These photos hanged with pegs add on a simple and personal touch to this small utility room. Small photos make room for lots more photos for a really candid and unique photo reel.

4. Wide Photo Mount

This wide photo mount almost creates a mural for photos to be added to this family room ad hoc. The wiggly lines and wooden slats also add texture and interest to the room.

5. Monochrome Framed Images

Black and white images with bold frames of different sizes
Achieve a chic look by framing black and white images with bold frames of different sizes. Different heights and overlapping frames add a fuller feeling to the room.

6. Progressive Framed Photos

Black and white photos with bold dark frames
Similar to the previous image, this home has added black and white photos with bold dark frames to add drama to the room, and a contrast to the bright red furniture.

7. Vintage Photo Wall

Photo line with pegs
A lot of us have plenty of old family photos that deserve to be shown off but are stuck in boxes in storage. Make your own photo line with pegs and string and show off your family’s history.

8. Hallway Photo Rack

Add lots of small photos in rows to your hallway
Reminiscent of a magazine publishing house, add lots of small photos in rows to your hallway to stamp your family’s personality on your home and showcase yourself to your guests as soon as they arrive.

9. Mid-Century Dining Room Showcase

This funky mid-century dining room has added a touch of the contemporary future by stacking a range of photos and images on shelves directly above the retro style console.

10. Shelved Photos

Photo display idea
Add depth to your room by changing the way you hang your photos. Overlap them, add different sizes, different types of frame, and stack some of them on shelves instead of hanging them in the traditional way.

Consider photos as a key part of your interior design, rather than an add on, and you’ll achieve an impact and personal way to display your photos.
