Framed photos are terrific for personalising your space and conveying stories in a picture format. They don’t always convey the emotional appeal you’d like them to though.

Smartphones are terrific at capturing memories with the camera app. When you want to take them off the phone, or out of the cloud to create a tangible copy though, not all will translate to print very well. To avoid disappointment, it helps to know what digital image details mean so you can tell if they’ll be any good when printed.

Fairy lights are no longer used once a year, then boxed away until next year’s festive season. They’ve become a staple in home decor. Some people use them to light up staircases, others surround their mirrors with fairy lights, and glass vases and/or bottles can be decoratively illuminated with miniature lights.

Do you crave ideas to personalise your living space or even your workspace? Picture frames are typically used for wall décor, but there’s far more they can do than protect the paper prints encased within them. There are many creative methods you can use to style your home in a way that’s unique to you, that encompasses your most treasured memories and that showcases them throughout your home with gorgeous and personalised aesthetics.

Without printing your memories, you’re likely to forget about them until the day you decide to flick through your media library on your smartphone.

Vintage is an authentic form of art. If it is flat enough to fit between the glass and the backing board of a picture frame, then it is art. Colours are just for visual amusement and emotional appeal. Even black and white is art; it’s called monochrome. A printed poem can be art, and you can decorate it using stamps in the corners, motifs, borders, shapes, and the like.
