Wall of fame


A Complete Guide To Create A Wall Of Fame In Your House:


PHOTOGRAPHS...What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, only memories can be revived. Imagine having a bad day in office or school and coming back to your home,suddenly you see a picture which holds a very important or happiest moment of your life. Your first victory at a competition in school, or a place where you met you better-half for the first time or when your first baby was born. The memory that can never make you upset. The memory that will always bring a smile on your face be it how low you are. Today we are going to try to make a place for such memory in your house. Today we are going to create a wall of memories, a wall of family ,a wall of fame.

We take photographs on holidays,proms, weddings,birthdays,get-together,night-outs,randoms, funny and they are just kept stored in some folder of our computer completely forgotten. Why not choose the best moments of those and put them on wall?

We will see the best way to compile all those best memories  in the best possible ways.


Make a random collection of pictures and frames. You can also add quotes and sceneries in between to make it look more beautiful.
 

A family tree like this would be such an amazing idea. And if you are not sure which photos to keep and which ones to leave as there are so many moments to cherish then simply clip them together as the picture above.             

 

If you want to go for a clean look then rather than aligning the frames in a random manner,you can align them in a clean and evenly designed manner.



And if you do not wish to put family photographs because you want a professional look for your office or guest rooms then you can also use random posters, photographed pictures or even blank frames just to get such amazing looks.

Below is some inspirations using which you can create you own wall of fame :)


Love,
