A Guide to Choosing and Printing Photos for Your Home

There’s nothing quite like photos to really turn a house into a home. From family portraits to photos from your favourite holidays, printing out your best memories turns your home into an extra special place.

Deciding which photos to print for your home and where to place them can be quite a process though, especially when you have a hundred or more to choose from, oh and you’re not an interior designer or a photographer. Here are a few tips to help make choosing photos for your home more enjoyable and a lot easier.

Consider your décor

Whether you’re deciding which photos to print or even where to hang them, take your décor into consideration. A good tip is to look for photos that contain colours that match the décor in specific areas of your house.

Get organized

Use folders to help you with the selection process. Place your favourite images into specific folders that are categorized according to prominent colours in the photos, particular themes or even various sections of your home.

Size and location matter

If you’re going to be placing your prints in an area where they will be visible from the opposite side of the room, opt for bigger prints to help them stand out.

Careful of the clutter

To stop a photo wall from looking too cluttered when using frames of different colours and textures, try printing your photos in black and white.

Plan before you hang

Before you start knocking nails into your walls, cut out exact replicas of the frames you’re planning to hang or arrange your printed photos on a wall to see what the display will look like before you make the commitment.

If you still feel like you need some help with choosing photos from a specific shoot to print for your home, talk with your photographer. Like me, they may use specific software to help you plan how your images will look.
