Where to Hang Family Photos?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Maybe I’m just nosy, but one of the things I most enjoy most about visiting a friend’s home is seeing his/her family photos.
There are some people who feel family photos should be restricted to certain areas of the home, but I remember my great aunt, a woman of impeccable style, placing or hanging family pictures throughout the living room, bedroom, and dining area - all places that have been considered off limits.
In my own home, I have photos of friends and family on display in my office, and I plan to create a hanging gallery of family photos in the currently unused space just off the front entrance.
I’ve also seen fantastic displays in hallways and on staircases (see image at right from Real Simple which offers great tips on arranging and hanging photos). What’s more important than location, I think, is planning the display, and not haphazardly throwing any picture in any frame on just any wall.
Where do you hang your family photos?
What are your strategies for organizing them?
