One of your favorite photos might be a large group picture, but it may not actually display well when hanging on a wall. Save that one for the scrapbook and look for pictures that have vibrant images that convey a message or a thought.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Older photographs can be brought to life with the advances in photographic reproduction technology. If you have a favorite old photo that\u2019s fading, or has been damaged or crinkled through the years, take it to a photo shop to have it restored and reprinted. You might even be able to do this yourself at home with photo imaging software. You might want to consider added a special effect, enlarging or cropping the photo differently to add a new perspective to a familiar photo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-737 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-3-1.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"picture frame 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-3-1.jpg 554w, https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-3-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-3-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=213146994841552414&#038;src=oembed#?secret=fNSTVYc0m3\" data-secret=\"fNSTVYc0m3\" height=\"550\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mixing frames of different styles and sizes can be fun, but takes some planning and forethought. Lay the framed photos on a tabletop or the floor and rearrange until you find a workable arrangement, then employ a friend or family member\u2019s help when measuring and preparing to mount on the wall. Have your level ready to be sure that a picture that looks straight actually is straight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photos don\u2019t have to be limited to the walls. Tabletops, desktops, bookshelves, and your family entertainment wall unit are all great places to add a picture frame. Even a dressing screen can make a clever and unique backdrop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-735\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-1-1.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"picture frame 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-1-1.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sunlighthomes.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/picture-frame-1-1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=189010515584267370&#038;src=oembed#?secret=IJWQznsJYP\" data-secret=\"IJWQznsJYP\" height=\"438\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You can even decoupage photos onto a table lamp base or mirror frame for an added jazzy effect. And by using fabric transfer sheets, you can even transfer a favorite photo onto a pillowcase, wood or wall hanging. Old window or door panes are a unique and cute idea to display pictures; gives it a bit of a rustic feel. This is also a great way to hang a collage on the wall or cork board above your desk or in your office. Individual laminated photos can be affixed to magnets to put on the refrigerator and other metal surfaces in your home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">**Sunlight Heritage Homes is a home builder in Ontario with current communities in London, Kitchener and Woodstock.
