In the age of digital camera, paper photographs are getting forgotten. Many people accumulate folders and digital click folders on their computer with the promise to stop reproducing them in print later. However, this does not happen and great memories of the family are hidden.

So how about changing that by putting your family's best moments together in digital files and having them revealed to create a beautiful composition on your living room wall? In addition to these newer ones, you can pair with older photos of when you were a child, of your parents and your grandparents.

TodaEla has selected some suggestions for decorating the wall of the house with photographs, giving great ideas that can be applied to houses and apartments of varying sizes and styles, and can be made affordable. Just have creativity! Check it out below:

Vintage Variety

In this style, in addition to photographs, you can also frame vintage prints or antique advertisements. Another idea is also to add drawings bought or even made by someone in your family to the photos.

Picture shelf

How about taking advantage of the niche of your bookcase to put pictures? This idea makes the look totally different with style and elegance. On a light-colored bookcase, black and white photos add a special touch. To create this effect, you can make copies of old photos matching niche sizes or play back current photos in black and white.

Light and delicate

For a happy look, just add photos with more romantic frames, and also a colorful comic. If your home has some vibrantly colored furniture, you can match the frame to it. If you want the pictures in white frame, prefer to use it on walls with some color. This way, they gain more prominence.

Clipping

Making a clipping style wall is simple and no photo frames are required. A good idea is to get a very large corkboard and arrange the photographs (all the same size) by tacking them with thumbtacks.

Eclectic

How about radicalizing and painting a wall black? It can blend well with a selection of photo frames with either white or black frames. In addition, choosing this style leaves the look elegant and sophisticated. So you can make an eclectic wall decor like this by handing out paintings of various sizes, always leaving a little space for an unforgettable new moment that has been registered with an image.

Souvenir clothesline

A sustainable way to decorate with photos is with this style. You can use old wooden signs from old doors or even trade fair boxes, nailing wires horizontally to hang photos with small fasteners, which are found in stationery stores. As well as giving it a modern look, it's an easy way to update your photos for a revolving decor, as well as hanging birthday or Christmas cards.

Scrapbook

By blending images, decorative pieces, and functional items such as slates, you can make your living room or office wall much more beautiful, fun, and interesting. It gets even better when the pictures are of the family and the decoration items have some history related to you, your boyfriend, husband or your children.

Minimalist

For those who like a more organized and linear form, just create a decoration with frames in a minimalist style. An elegant way is to make small photos with large frames and card stock. They can be just above a sideboard or a sofa.
