I love having a family photo wall in our home. It’s not only beautiful to look at, but I love the priceless memories I get to cherish every time I look at it.
In today’s post, I will be talking about 10 reasons why you should have a family photo wall in your home.
Home decor is one of the hobbies my husband and I love to do. We enjoy dressing up our home to make it feel more warm and unique.
We change up our space often to suit all our family’s needs.
This wall is one of the favorites that we put up as it shows all the trips we have been on and the memories we cherished since we have this home.
We use Minted.com to frame all our special moments. As you can see in the photos, every picture on this wall is specially framed and customized to look exactly how we want it.
What I like most is that you can adjust almost everything about the picture; the frame size and color, size of the photograph, unique artist design, and more.
Now every time we go on a trip or any special moment we have with our family, we always want to frame it with Minted.

10 Reasons Why You Should Have A Family Photo Wall

It’s good for your kids to see themself growing up
Having photos of your kids up on a family photo wall lets them see how they have grown over the years. Your kids can see how they have grown and can appreciate those moments even more, knowing how fast time goes by.
Research done by David Krauss, a licensed psychologist from Cleveland, Ohio, said that having family photos on the walls of your home helps to boost your child’s self-esteem. He goes on to say, “It is so helpful for children to see themselves as a valued and important part of that family unit. A photographer’s job is to create and make the image look like a safe holding space for kids where they are safe and protected. Kids get it on a really simple level”.

It’s a great way to do a recap of a year or family trip
A family photo wall gallery of a specific year or trip is even more enjoyable. If you showcase a specific year, you can walk through each of the photos. You can feel as if you experienced the year as it went by. So every day, when you look at your family photo wall, you have a more precise memory of the heart that you loved so much.
