4 Reasons Mixtiles is the Easiest & Most Convenient Way to Decorate Your Walls
Until a few days ago, the wall in my dining room was a wide open surface, and that had to change. I have art arranged all around my home, but for that wall above our table, I envisioned photos of my family. We all have #housegoals. Mine seemed achievable.
Except, the idea of printing pictures large enough to fit the space, that were also high quality, in matching frames, and could be rearranged at a moment’s notice seemed too big a task for this season of life. Until I found Mixtiles, that is. Now it’s the only way I’ll hang framed photos. Here’s why:
Bring photos to life from your camera roll in just 5 minutes
With young kids always underfoot, items only get checked off my to-do list if they can be done efficiently. The process of uploading photos to Mixtiles from your phone or computer is so simple and straightforward. I selected my photos, and moments later Mixtiles produced a visual of what they’d look like framed. I could easily click among the options to find the sizes and frame finishes I liked best. Such a low lift!
Just a few days later, the box arrived with my daughters’ faces smiling back at me in clear quality, with a professional matte finish and durable frames. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine it until I had them in hand. The process is so smooth.
Mixtiles magic frame sticks to any surface, which means no nails or hammers (security deposit back guaranteed!)
Perhaps the best part about Mixtiles is that each comes with renter-friendly adhesive for hanging them on your walls. The adhesive can be removed and re-stuck until you find the right place, without causing any damage, and maintaining a sturdy hold. The Mixtiles photos cling to the adhesive squares with magnets. So, even after your placement is sorted out, you can play with the order of your photos. My kids loved participating in this whole process. Being able to say “yes” to their enthusiasm and do it together without any hammers and nails damaging walls, fingers, or toes was wonderful. New core memory created.
Make every room uniquely yours
The photos I chose are so, so special to me—one day I looked at my youngest and thought, “oh my goodness, you’re not a baby anymore.” I texted a photographer friend who lives in our neighborhood and asked her to capture photos of us as we were that day, no fuss, no fancy outfits or unnatural poses. The result perfectly represents my girls’ personalities. The fact that they lived on my phone without anyone appreciating them was a crime. A crime I’d still be committing had Mixtiles not made the process of printing and framing them so easy for me. I’ve been emotional all week with these photos on our wall—not only being able to behold them in all their glory but also getting to watch my kids proudly enjoy and rearrange them.
The price is *chef’s kiss*
You’d think that the opportunity to select, upload, customize, and order your framed photos in 5 minutes or less would make the price a premium. Lucky for us, it’s actually the more affordable option for framing family photos. My four 12″ x 16″ photos—AKA my most prized possessions—cost $108. For those who have never been humbled by a visit to the framing store, that’s the approximate cost to frame ONE photo, and it doesn’t include the extra step of having your chosen photo printed and going to pick it up. The price of using Mixtiles truly can’t be beat.
I’m already planning my next wall with Mixtiles
My long-standing goal was to hang a series of framed family photos on our wall. Since Mixtiles was able to achieve my lofty checklist of convenience, flexibility, sentimental value, and affordability, you can bet my work has just begun. I’m currently collecting pictures of my girls’ four sets of great-grandparents so we can create a legacy wall in tribute to the amazing people who came before them. I know Mixtiles will turn them into something we cherish beyond words.
