Staging pictures differently: 5 ideas

Whether with magnets or on cake plates - there are numerous ways to display photos and small pictures. Five unusual suggestions.
Rectangular picture frames are beautiful, but also a little unimaginative. That's why I've put together five other creative solutions that you can use to display photos or illustrations.
1. on a wire
Ropes are usually used to secure people or equipment or to fasten materials. [Photo ropes or wires], on the other hand, keep your shots from falling into a box where they gather dust. They can be hung either vertically or horizontally on a wall, or you can hang them across the room from one wall to the opposite wall. The best thing is that, unlike individually framed photos, a photo rope can be quickly mounted somewhere else - or you can change the motifs at any time.
2. with a pinboard
3. on a shelf
4. on a stand or pedestal
Not only devices can be placed stably and upright on a stand, but also photos. The design from Alessi shows that this really makes a visual impact. It serves as a photo frame that almost disappears and leaves the whole room to your memento. A stand like this is great for increasing the visibility of your favourite motifs. It looks particularly good on the dining table, sideboard or your desk.
5. on a cake plate
It may sound strange at first, but a cake platter is not only suitable for baked goods. Precisely because it is suitable as a centrepiece on dining tables, it can also be used to display selected pictures. Within easy reach, such an arrangement encourages you to pick up the photos or turn over postcards to read. In addition to the cake plate, all you need is an interesting paperweight.
Whatever option you choose, the most important thing is to find a place where nothing distracts you. This way, your favourite motifs can have the best effect.
