Take the time to curate your best family snaps for a gallery wall. Teresa Mack Noval of A Design Company says it pays to choose your frames wisely, though. “While family photos are cherished, filling your home with countless picture frames in various finishes and colors can overwhelm the aesthetic of your space. When photos are scattered across multiple surfaces in different styles—like mismatched frames from vacations—they can lose their impact and feel visually chaotic.”
So what’s the best method for showing off an assortment of family photos? “A more intentional approach is to group family photos together in a single display. Whether it’s a gallery wall, a floating shelf or a dedicated console table, this method creates a cohesive focal point,” she says.
Have fun picking frames with a similar finish, Mack Noval says. The options are endless — think matte black, brushed metal or natural wood. “Frames can vary in size and subtle design details, but keeping the finishes uniform shifts the focus to the images themselves.”
