In the grey weeks after Christmas, summer can feel a long way off. It is closer than you think, and the evenings are already getting lighter. If you are not sure whether to have your favourite summer photographs framed, here are ten reasons to do it.
1. They add style
Framed summer photographs add a stylish touch to any room, whether kitchen, bedroom or living room. You can choose a frame to go with the furniture or the walls.
A frame with a mount is a good place to start. The opening in the mount is cut slightly smaller than the photo, so it overlaps the edges and holds the picture in place, and the border gives the photo room to breathe.
2. They keep your photos safe
Photos matter to us, and a frame protects them from being lost or damaged. Behind glass they are safe from dust, scratches and the odd splash.
If you are not sure which to frame, choose the ones that show your family's character. If you went camping or kitesurfing, frame the shots of everyone in the thick of it.
3. They make summer memories last
Old photographs bring back happy times. Framing them makes it far more likely that they will still be around for the next generation.
It is not only about the past. If you took some great shots this summer, get them on the wall soon, and you will have something to enjoy every time you walk in.
4. They give a home personality
Family photos, holiday memories and summer sunsets all make a house feel like yours. A wooden frame with a light-coloured mount is a good start, because it sets the photo apart from the wall behind it.
5. They get people talking
Framed holiday photos give visitors something to ask about, and lead to good conversations.
6. They make a perfect present for grandparents
A framed holiday photo is personal and unique, something grandparents can keep on the wall as a reminder of good times. A set of framed photos from a holiday you took together is a fine birthday present for anyone who is hard to buy for.
7. There is room for the whole family
With a big family, or one that is spread out, getting everyone into a single photo is tricky. A display of several holiday photos brings them all together on one wall.
If you have more than one photo to frame, a multi-aperture frame holds several in a single mount.
8. They keep childhood holidays alive
As children we found holidays a great adventure, starting at the airport or the station. Framed photos keep those feelings alive, and pass them on to your own children when they grow up.
Whether you like something simple and classic or more modern, there is a frame to suit. You could make a collage wall with frames of different sizes.
9. Nothing beats old-school
Framed photographs are timeless. Even now that everything is digital, a print in a frame is still the best way to show a picture.
