Bonus Styling Tips to Make It Yours

  • Mix Your Memories: Don’t be afraid to blend Polaroid and Instax photos together in one frame or album. The contrast in size adds character- and tells a fuller story.
  • Add a Personal Touch: Use washi tape or handwritten notes to label your photos inside albums. It’s a simple gesture, but one that makes every flip-through feel more heartfelt.
  • Refresh with the Seasons: Just like your wardrobe or your space, your photo displays can change with the mood. Rotate your favourite Instax and Polaroids throughout the year for a display that grows with you.
