We are used to seeing pictures on the walls, but what if you rent a house where you can't damage walls?

When you can't hang photo frames on walls, there are still plenty of creative and attractive options for displaying your photos. 

Here are some alternative locations and ideas for placing photo frames.

Shelves and Ledges

Place photo frames on shelves, bookcases, or ledges. 

Mix and match frame sizes and orientations for an interesting display.

Mantel or Fireplace

If you have a mantel or fireplace, arrange photo frames on it to create a focal point in the room.

Dresser or Console Table

Arrange photo frames on top of a dresser, console table, or entryway table. 

Consider adding decorative elements like candles or small plants to complement the display.

Floating Wall Shelves

Use floating wall shelves to create a photo gallery without directly hanging frames on the wall. 

Arrange frames on the shelves in various arrangements.

Picture Ledges

Picture ledges are narrow shelves designed specifically for displaying photo frames. 

They can be easily attached to the wall or placed on furniture.

Room Dividers or Screens

Place photo frames on both sides of a room divider or decorative screen to add visual interest to the space.

Window Sills

Line your window sills with photo frames, creating a charming display that also lets in natural light.

Magnetic Boards

Use magnetic boards or panels to attach photo frames without the need for wall mounting. 

These can be placed on furniture or leaned against the wall.
