Published 9/27/22
Photo
It often feels like the year really kicks off and wraps up with the school calendar. And with every new school year comes the classic tradition: school photos. There’s something special about seeing your child’s latest school portrait— though, let’s be honest, not as thrilling as writing the check for those prints and the magnets your parents have to have. If you're stuck on how to display your newest favorite photo or what to do with those old school pictures gathering dust in the closet, we’ve got some creative ideas to help you out.
Entryway table
Make sure your kids’ school pictures are the first thing visitors notice when they walk through your door. Add their school portrait to the cover of a Monthbook or Classic Book, then display the cover for an easy, personalized piece of decor.
Contrasting color
Well known for their dark backgrounds, help your kids’ school pictures pop by displaying them against a contrasting color (whether that’s a brightly painted wall or funky furniture piece).
Kitchen counter
Keep your kids’ photos in a place both family and guests gather... at the kitchen counter! Your photos will be front and center, plus guests can flip through your other special and everyday memories.
Bookshelf
Line up your Monthbooks on the shelf, then turn the cover that features your kid’s school picture outward. This way, everyone can marvel at your on-point design skills and comment on how your kids’ school photos pair so well with all your reading material.
Bowl
Give your kids’ school pics an effortless look by staging your photo books inside a wicker basket or bowl that’s kept on a coffee table or ottoman. Their portraits will act as chic, eye-catching pieces.
Stack
There’s no better way to display those beginning-of-the-school-year smiles than by proudly showcasing their photos on the cover of a Monthbook. Place the Monthbook at the top of the stack so that their smiles, and your photo book spines, are on-point.
Mantle
Whether you lean them against a vase or holiday decor, proudly turn your Monthbook covers outward, and make your kids’ school photos a statement piece by lining them up on your mantle (aka a spot where everyone’s eye gravitates).
Gallery wall
Using Canvas Wall Tiles, show off all your kids’ school photos with a gallery wall (which is also great for showing off your kids’ school photos throughout the years). If you don’t want to create a gallery wall, try adding Wall Tiles to the wall adjacent to your staircase, in an ascending fashion.
Office decor
Whether you have a home office or one you commute to, keep the kids close by hanging your favorite photos of them. You can hang their Wall Tiles on the space behind you and they’ll be your permanent Zoom background. Or, find their yearbook photo online and set it as your perfect computer background!
Yearbook
Add their school pics to your family’s Yearbook so that whenever your family looks back at another incredible year, you won’t forget the beautiful, hilarious and absolutely adorable school photos your kids took (and cry over how much they’ve grown!). Plus, school photos symbolize the start of a new year of classes, extracurriculars and growth spurts — perfect for capturing in a Yearbook.
