Our Favorite Tricks on How to Display Polaroid-Style Photo Prints in Your Home 🖼️

Trick 1 - Create an Aesthetic Wall of Prints!

Who said you can’t turn your house into an art gallery? Certainly not us! We love the idea of bringing some museum vibes to your place and we’ve found the perfect way to make it happen: a Polaroid-style photo wall!

Just order your favorite pics with Picta, pick a corner of your home that is lacking a bit of personality, and lay out your photos in whatever way you feel best. Arrange them in neat little lines for a clean girl aesthetic effect or make it more heterogenous for more dynamism; you do you!

There is more than one way to embrace a little museum aesthetic in your house decor, and we bet you’re going to love this really fun twist to the previous trick! All you need to do is to hang some colorful string on a large frame and use white mini pegs to clip the prints and let them cascade down!

If you’re a fan of modern and airy home vibes, this simple trick is bound to make the shortlist for best piece of home decor ever (and your Instagram feed will thank you)!

Trick 3 - A Lovely Throwback in Your Kitchen!

If you’re craving an even easier way to make the most of your new Polaroid-style prints (no judgment here, the easier the better in my opinion 🤭), this third tip is going to win you over: transform your fridge in a retro memory throwback!

Just get some little magnets - nothing too fancy as you don’t want attention to stray too far away from these gorgeous photos - and arrange your prints in whatever pattern you like!

Trick 4 - Magic Memory Fairy Lights!

Okay, now this is for all the whimsical fairy cozy vibes lovers out there (that’s a long one, but I hope you see the picture), and my own personal favorite way to use Polaroid-style photos: turn them into warm light memory garlands!

All you need to make it happen are some fairy lights, small pegs, and your Picta photo order! Clip the pics to the string of fairy lights, hang it up, and voilà - you’re in for an interior design treat!

Trick 5 - Bringing You Cute Countryside Vibes!

Here's a project similar to the floating gallery but with the added cottage-core countryside vibe! Get a nice-looking piece of wood (you can buy it in a craft store but, honestly, you’ll do just as well with something you can find on your morning forest walk), some rustic string, and some mini wooden pegs.

The only thing left to do is to clip the retro prints on the string with the pegs and hang this beauty in your living room to be admired as you go about your daily life!
