Pop-Art Photos

If you’re looking for a way to make your room the opposite of drab and boring, this Andy Warhol inspired display is the way to go. All you need to do is collect an even number of photographs and put them through a pop art filter. Print them out as large squares and enjoy turning your room into a literal work of art. The best thing about this is that you can choose to do this with the same photo or with a bunch of different ones, whatever suits your fancy. Your room is definitely going to be a talking point in your hostel if you try this out.

Go the Portrait Route

You know when you’re watching period dramas with giant family portraits on the walls and you wonder what it would be like to sit for a portrait yourself? Well, thanks to the wonders of technology, you don’t have to wonder anymore. Use an app like PicsArt or Waterlogue to transform your photographs into incredible faux-paintings and use those to line your walls. Because who says you need to be in the Louvre to be surrounded by masterpieces?

Coordinated Frames

Look, the photo wall has been done and redone in hostel rooms over the years. So how can you make yours stand out? The answer is simple - all you need to do is pick some matching frames for your photographs. You can go the safe route and opt for slim black frames for all your pictures, or even alternate with black and white ones. If you’ve got a particular colour palette in your room, you could even try to match the frames to that colour scheme for ultimate coordination.

Desk Photo Display

If it’s not your walls but your desk that’s in need of a bit of life, it’s time to consider a desk photo display. The basic way to do this is by lining up a bunch of your favourite photographs in some old frames at the edge of your desk. But what if the actual tabletop of your desk could be turned into a photo display? That’s right, you can actually DIY a ‘glass’ tabletop that’s full of photos with some pictures, cellotape and cling film or cellophane. All you need to do is arrange your pictures in a layout that you like (feel free to intersperse them with some drawings, bookmarks, or even comic book pages for a more graffitied look). Then stretch the cellophane or cling film over the top in a single layer and glue it down. You can ask some of your roommates to help you out and trust us, the results are actually amazing.

Photo Mural

If you’re looking for a way to upgrade the look of your ladies’ PG in Electronic City without having to drill holes in the walls or plead with your landlord about making changes to your paying guest accommodation, this might be a great option for you. There are several printing services that will allow you to print your favourite photograph on contact paper that you can then use to create a mural in your room. These DIY decals are easy-to-peel and can provide you with a mural or wallpaper effect for very little effort. The biggest decision you’ll have to make is choosing a photograph to occupy so much of your wall-space. Remember whatever you choose should be something you don’t mind looking at every single day.

And there you have it. Upgrading your PG room decor in Bangalore can be really easy with these photo display ideas. So, go ahead and give them a try.
