Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

It’s one thing to buy paintings and pictures for your walls, but when you’re able to hang something that you took a picture of, it’s a whole other feeling. Even if you have a keepsake letter or cards from your lucky poker deck, you can keep your walls more personable and sentimental. Or you can feature your pet. So how do you blow up a photo?

First, choose an image that you like or spend a day with your digital camera and take some pictures of a nearby park or your pets. Then take your photograph to a printing shop. If you have a Mac computer, you can order prints right from the iPhoto program. Keep in mind that a 4 x 6 picture can probably only be enlarged to a 16 x 20 or a 20 x 24 without affecting the image’s clarity.

Once you get your picture enlarged, choose a simple frame. To make the picture look less boxed in, choose a frame that is the same color as the background.
