My wife and I have plans to redecorate a few rooms in the house this year and one task I fully took over was in choosing how to display some of our travel photos. Carefully aligned frames is always good but I’m searching for something more distinct and equally appealing as some of the photos we have in mind.

One alternative I’ve been exploring has been with a service called Fotoflot, which offers an innovative way to display one’s photographs without glass. They print your photos on paper, then bond that to a piece of acrylic.

The sizes of FotoFlot displays range from 7.5”x10” to 15”x30”, and they hang with a simple mounting system, in which you put part of the bracket on the wall, then attach the photo with magnets. Very much like the shelves you see in IKEA showrooms, the effect of your photographs floating right off the wall is a pretty polished look.

What’s also convenient is that if you’re in the mood for showcasing a different print, you simply swap the mounted one with a new print. Also noteworthy is stating that all this doesn’t come at low priced but if you’re in the market for something unique, I think this is worth the investment.
