3 Home Decor Ideas That Show Off Your Family
All households want to show off just how proud they are of their family. But there are only so many times you can post about your precious partner and darling children on social media before people stop caring. You don’t need to lavish praise on your family online, though, or at least you don’t need to restrict yourself to social media praise only. Instead, show off that pride inside your home with some home decor ideas that celebrate the best and most enjoyable times you and your family have had together.

Every Adventure
From the first vacation to the most recent one, filling walls and shelves with memories from every adventure you’ve ever taken is a fantastic way to show off your family to everyone who steps through that door.
These souvenirs and photographs give you and your kids the chance to remember every fond memory they’ve had at the cottage, the beach, or discovering stunning architecture in the middle of nowhere. Furthermore, physical souvenirs that you can touch and hold will transport them back to these days, strengthening the memory and appreciation for the adventure.
Whether posed photos or natural and candid shots, you can find the balance to make sure your portraits tick all the boxes.
Remembering the 9 Months
One type of home decor that people don’t consider is the nine months before you became a parent. But why is this time of your life any less important than any other? It is one of the most unique and life-changing periods you have experienced, and that’s why you should decorate the house with memories of it.
Maternity glow portraits are becoming increasingly popular, and framing the ultrasound or giving it a permanent home on the refrigerator gives you a constant reminder of those wonderful (or even not-so-wonderful) nine months. Furthermore, anything you did during this time, such as keep a maternity diary, is something you can use to commemorate your pregnancy.
Crafty and Creative
No matter the family, crafts and creations are something that will slowly fill up the house as the school years pass. Rather than keep them for a few days before throwing them out or storing them in a box for the attic, give them somewhere to live on mantlepieces or bookshelves.
This will make your kids feel better and add a chic and homegrown feel to your house. Sure, you could buy expensive ornaments to decorate your home, but while they look beautiful, they risk being a little soulless.
By decorating the house with homemade crafts or things made at school, whether self-portraits, pencil holders, or something that you’re (still) unsure about what it is exactly, you can add character and warmth to the home at no extra cost.
Letting Your Pride Shine Through
There is nothing wrong at all with showing off the pride you have for your family. Still, if you want to do something slightly different from usual, there are plenty of ways to do so. From homemade crafts to a glimpse into life before your child was born, these ideas will give you the chance to show the world how much your family means to you.
