Ever since the first photographs were developed, putting them in frames and hanging them on the walls has been a staple of home decorating. Even centuries before that, people loved hanging framed paintings around their homes, and more often than not, the picture frame was just as important as the picture it housed, if not more.

Sadly, with the digital age and our phones, we now have the opportunity to browse through hundreds and even thousands of pictures at any time. Because of that, in many homes, you might not see many or any pictures on display, which is becoming unfortunate.

Everyone should have some pictures of memorable occasions posted in their homes so that they can reflect on important events and reminisce about the past. Alternatively, you might just show adorable photos of yourself and your loved ones.

The right picture frame for the photo can add character and warmth to the room.
