Travel is something that lots of us not only enjoy a few times a year but are also truly passionate about! We crave adventure, whether that\u2019s the other side of the world or a few miles from home\u2026 after all, travel is all about the memories we make and the fun we have while doing so!<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re anything like me you\u2019ll have arrived home from your last trip with hundreds of photos and not a clue on how, when or what you\u2019ll be doing with them. If I\u2019m honest, most never see the light of day \u2013 which is a huge shame, especially as I have always, have fond memories of looking back at old family and friends photos. They really are so special, especially for teasing my sister on her crimped hair choices from back when we were younger! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Recently, I was introduced to Wall Snaps<\/a> and Square Snaps<\/a> and found myself with a myriad of choices to remedy this problem\u2026not the ridiculous crimped hair but being able to share, print and create lovely memories of some of our most amazing trips!<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever since I got my first digital camera, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever really created actual physical copies of photos I\u2019ve taken (pretty sure all the physical photos I own are from film cameras) and so, the chance to do so was one I was only too eager to try out. Now that I have the final results \u2013 it\u2019s also one that I\u2019m only too eager to share with you \u2013 especially as some of photos are from a trip I\u2019d been planning for YEARS!<\/p>\n

7 Ways To Create Your Own Travel Feature Wall<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

1.) Personalise your home with your travel snaps: <\/strong>There\u2019s a reason why till this day, we still like to share our photos, not just in old family albums but even across social media. Even till this day, the need to update social media when you see something fantastic is still pretty strong in all of us! Printing out your photos isn\u2019t a new idea but I can definitely say using Wall Snaps, to do this is an idea I without hesitation highly recommend.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Why? Well, it\u2019s that whole \u2018leap of faith\u2019 thing, just like when you buy those jeans from eBay and you hope to goodness that they look as good as they did online and fit even half as good as they seemed to on your computer.<\/p>\n

The amount of times when I\u2019ve been horrified or been left laughing (in\u00a0outrage) from online ordering makes me really REALLY celebrate those moments when a place just gets it right and Wall Snaps definitely does. It\u2019s also really easy to print your photos in personalised frames, canvases as there\u2019s a huge variety on offer here with other customisable elements and a vast range of mounts but the main thing for me is just that final product! Anyway, no point describing it to you \u2013 let me show you! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

2.) Choose your feature wall wisely:<\/strong> One of the key things with any feature wall is to choose your wall wisely! Ideally, any feature wall should grab your attention as soon as you enter the room, but it can\u2019t afford to be one that gets too much \u2018traffic to it\u2019 \u2013 the last thing you want is for someone to knock down your souvenir or photos off your wall when walking past.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d say start with a blank one that\u2019s pretty much dedicated to your travel pieces and you\u2019ll almost have yourself this life-sized puzzle back at home, waiting to be filled with travel memories. I\u2019m a sucker for a hanging souvenir (travel masks, hanging ornaments\u2026etc) so having a \u201ctravel wall\u201d fits perfectly with the kind of items I bring back home from my travels. (My cousin built herself a little shelf and that\u2019s where she keeps all her travel memorabilia, photos included!).<\/p>\n

3.) Choose your memories:<\/strong> One of the hardest things about creating a travel wall, which includes photos, is choosing which memories you want to share (there are so many great ones to choose from, right?). The great thing about Square Snaps is that you can print off quite literally hundreds of personalised polaroid pictures as well as retro prints so it’s definitely worth checking out the different style products here<\/a> to figure out what suits you best.<\/p>\n

This being said, you probably only have enough space for a finite amount of prints so how do you go about selecting the ones to print? (Even if you do end up printing hundred like we did). \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

In my case using my souvenirs as a guide, I\u2019ve found the best way to select the photos is to find a \u2018story\u2019 you want to tell.<\/p>\n

For instance, you could choose to change things up after every big trip to showcase the latest adventure you\u2019ve been on (almost like your own ever-evolving home art gallery). Or you could choose a photo for every continent you\u2019ve visited (or perhaps even one for every country). Or maybe you\u2019d like to focus on a specific time-frame\/timeline in your life? Point is, choosing a story you want to tell make that tricky job of selecting favourite travel photos just that extra bit easier (and a tad more structures).<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

4.) Draw the eye with contrasting colours:<\/strong> Displaying travel is no time to go for similar tones\/colours. The world is diverse and people are so different, even within the same country \u2013 let alone across different countries so feel free to mix things up here and embrace the (sometimes sharp) contrasts across your different photos.<\/p>\n

Boring, monotonous grids of photos are only suitable for Instagram and even then, definitely not for travel! (By the way, switching frames and mounts can be quite a great way to achieve that perfect \u2018organised chaos\u2019 look too).<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

5.) Make your memories larger than life:<\/strong> One of the best thing about most modern cameras is that you\u2019ll be able to blow up your pictures to gigantic proportions \u2013 we all get so much of small photos digitally on our computer and phones so why not make things more interesting and make your photos more \u2018life size\u2019\u2026 again, think \u2018Home Art Gallery\u201d. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

6.) Mix old and new:<\/strong> Let\u2019s face it; the concept of an interesting travel wall is one that draws its strengths from the diversity of your experience. New experiences can seem more exciting, partly because we\u2019ve more recently actively chosen them but there are some old gems that deserve their place of pride out there too.<\/p>\n

To that end, we say, mix them up \u2013 if for nothing at all, it can definitely tell the story of how you\u2019ve changed over the years\u2026 or at last give you a chance to display those cute baby photos of yours!<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

7.) Create polaroid style photos to save on space:<\/strong> This proved very handy when I moved to University halls\u2026 and when you move from working in a city like Edinburgh where your rent money gets you so much space to somewhere like London where you pay almost 3 times as much rent for 1\/3rd<\/sup> of the space. Square Snaps do pretty nifty polaroid photo prints (using your photos of course) which you can then display using cool little hanging tools like these ones<\/a>!<\/p>\n
