3 Ways to Turn Your Memories and Keepsakes Into Décor

We all have that one box or container filled with old images, maps, ticket stubs, and other keepsakes stashed away in a cupboard. Instead of keeping them in hiding, we suggest you turn them into display decor.

Forget about merely sharing your snapshots on social media; keep your memories fresh and clear by featuring your favourite moments and travels throughout your home. No better way to make a space more personal than sharing parts of you and your journey in it.

Gallery Walls are the classic way to highlight your memorabilia. All you will need is an empty wall and some frames. You can opt to use similar frames or switch it up with different sizes and colours. If you want a less permanent option, pick a design that makes exchanging pictures easier, like this clothespin option.
