After you get back from a vacation, you probably have tons of photos and other keepsakes to display around the home. Aside from purchasing some extra picture frames, there are some creative ways to put those images up, so you can fondly look back on those favorite trips. Here are some suggestions for displaying travel photos in new and unique ways.

Fun Ways to Show Off Travel Photos

1. Create a Clothespin Display

To show a number of photos all in a row, hang a clothesline along an open section of a wall and then use clothespins to hang each photo individually. This can work well in a hallway or other long section of open wall space. You can also use it as a timeline to display the different parts of a trip in chronological order.

2. Print Photos in Black & White, Then Add a Pop of Color

For a dramatic look, print out large versions of your travel images in black and white. Then, either digitally or by hand, insert one pop of color somewhere in the image. For example, add just red into a photo of your family in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. This can help the photo become a major focal point for the room or help it fit seamlessly into the decor.

3. Add Multiple Photos Within Poster Frames

If you want to fit a lot of images into a small space, put them in a large collage digitally. Then, print out the large image and insert it into a poster frame. This lets you fit all those fun memories into one place, creating a cleaner look than you might get with multiple picture frames.

4. Cover the Mat With a Map of Your Destination

To really make an image stand out within a frame, do something different with the mat board that goes around the picture. Find an old map of the location that you visited and cut out the shape of the mat. Then, place it around the photo within the frame to serve as an accent.

5. Include Photos With Other Keepsakes in Shadowboxes

If you have photos and other keepsakes, shadowboxes let you group all those items together. Mount the box on a wall and then place a photo toward the back before arranging other mementos like ticket stubs or small souvenirs in front.
