Decorating your home with retro prints

I walked past the Primark window in Glasgow recently and noticed a lovely bronze frame with little pegs for mini Polaroids suggested as an item for high key bedroom or dining room decor. I thought decorating with retro prints was a great idea and started collecting pins leading to more in-depth creative resources exploring home decor with square or rectangular Polaroid-type prints.

You can order this kind of prints with virtually any online or in-app printing service because they are very popular, for example from SuperSnaps. Or just google – they are not hard to find!

My personal favourites though are premium retro prints from PhotoBox because a lot of attention is paid to proper vintage texture and back finish. As a photographer I appreciate this regardless the slightly higher cost. After all, we don’t need many!

There are some other examples for you from my “Living with Your Photographs” Pinterest board how to display mini polaroids or square retro prints in your home.
