1. Showcase Retro Snaps

High-quality photo prints offer a modern way to showcase all of your favourite photo captured memories of yesteryear. Many people have a favourite snap that dates back to their childhood, or a charming vintage image that is generations old. Instead of hiding these sentimental keepsake photographs away, in the pages of your personalised photo albums, why not dig them out and display them for all to view and enjoy?

It’s common for photographs that were taken decades ago to have a low-resolution. Vintage sepia and retro black and white photos are generally not of the best visual quality, plus they are also prone to fading with time. Enlarging a favourite old photo can greatly improve the visual quality of the image, and give your most precious snaps a second lease of life. Re-sampling (improving pixel proportions in small increments) can also be beneficial in the quality enhancement of aged, neglected or damaged photographs.

To create a cool and contemporary print, for display on an interior focal wall, simply browse through your collection of photos. Hunt out the most striking image that you can find from the days of your childhood or youth, and have it enlarged to a suitable size for your space. Choose a complementary border and frame to beautifully match or contrast with your chosen retro statement image.

2. Create A Unique Photo Series

Another excellent way that you can easily make a bold décor statement is by creating a unique and original series of themed photos that are displayed in a grouped arrangement. A series of photos can tell a story, and/or create a striking visual impact in any room in your home.

If you don’t already have an array of sequential images on display in a photo album, you can start a photo-per-day project and build up a collection over time. If you need some inspiration for your photography, consider snapping your favourite people, places, colours or objects. It’s helpful to have a common theme running through each individual image, in order to be able to link a selection of photos in a group.

Photograph your subject in a variety of different ways, and from alternative angles. You can also experiment with lighting, and by changing your camera lens. When you have sufficient snaps, lay them all out, and pick your favourite 3 or 4 images. Line the prints up in the format that you want to display them on your wall. Switch them around until you’re totally satisfied with the order and impact. Once framed, your print display should be visually consistent and aesthetically pleasing.

3. Recreate Iconic Images

Some people like to decorate their homes with classic black and white and colourful modern prints of famous and iconic images, of movie stars and beautiful locations around the world. If you’re keen to explore the art of photography, you can certainly learn a lot when recreating a favourite iconic photo to display in your personal space.

First off, you’ll need to decide on which iconic image you want to replicate. It’s helpful to do a little research, so that you can gain insight into the photographic techniques that were originally used. If required, use props to enhance the scene.

To capture an image that doesn’t infringe copyright laws and is uniquely yours, you can add your own visual modifications. Have your iconic inspired high-quality photo prints professionally mounted, to create a stunning and unique piece of art to brighten your space.

4. Display One-Of-A-Kind Photo Art

Most people have at least one favourite photo that stands out from the rest. This one-of-a-kind photo could be a wedding portrait, an exotic landscape, or an abstract ensemble of striking shapes. Given a professional touch, your favourite photo could become a centrepiece feature that is perfect for display in a hall or living room.

If your favourite breathtaking landscape photo is panoramic, you could always split the image and create an on-trend triptych (grouping of three). When hanging these prints on a wall, allow an equal mount of space between each of the three panels that make up one complete wow factor image.

Canvas wrapped prints are a popular design option for interior décor, as they are super lightweight and easy to hang. You can create beautiful canvas print photo art with family portraits, snaps of your beloved pet, or gorgeous nature scenes. As a canvas print has no border, glass or frame, you can even embellish it with unique customisation.

If you have a multitude of photos that you love, you can create your own personal gallery and display them all. Make your favourite print the star attraction by placing it in the centre of the available space. Hang smaller prints next to it, and above and below.

High-quality photo prints that show off colours that seamlessly blend with the colour palette of your interior décor are ideal for adding visual interest to a space that is otherwise minimalist. To receive maximum praise for your one-of-a-kind art, display your favourite colour matching print as an enlargement.
