Nothing makes me happier than walls filled with photos - from holidays, travels and just random candids. Polaroids are the absolute best - but the film can be pricey. A more budget friendly option is to print your instagram photos at polaroid size on a normal colour printer, or you can print your photos with a white border to give them that polaroid feel. Then put them up on wall or (my personal favourite) in an oversized frame. You can see an example of how to make an instagram wall here.

My favorite are the photos pegged in the wooden frame!

ReplyDeleteAll of these look so great. Bookmarked for when/if I ever move out!
ReplyDeleteOooh. I'm getting the keys to my new flat tomorrow and as a result have become obsessed with interior blogs/tumblrs. Seriously love the top photo on the left. I like the idea of the photos being contained in a frame otherwise I think it's a bit intense. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for such an inspirational post! I don't have instagram but making a photo wall seems like a great weekend project to do :)
ReplyDeleteI've started one of these in my study - it makes my day looking at all my loved ones :)

Those HUGE frames are pretty awesome. The perfect way to display all those phone snaps! They hold the best memories because they are so spontaneous!

Aw I love all your ideas..Wish I could afford a polaroid camera! I am a complete snap happy person especially on nights out or at gigs! for each of my friends 21sts I made them huge framed photo collages from years ago right up to their 21sts. They are the best present because you can put pictures of everyone they love in one place!!

ReplyDeletethese examples of how to display your photos is really inspirational. We are so used to just taking pictures but not taking the time to print them so they are on display like works of art. Thanks for sharing!!!! :)
