This bestselling picture frame is one solution. Vouched for by 4,000 five-star raters on Amazon , the frame holds up to 100 pieces of artwork, so you can add to it as kids bring back their latest pieces from school or playdates.

The Americanflat front-loading picture frame can store up to 100 pieces of artwork.

Measuring 10 by 12.6 without a mat or 8.5 by 11 with the included mat, the frame can be hung vertically or horizontally. It also comes in 15 colors, so you can personalize each frame to its artist. If you have multiple grandkids or little loved ones, you can even create a gallery wall with one picture frame per child, as one reviewer did for each of her six grandchildren.

Reviewers (and proud recipients of artwork) love this frame, calling it a great idea and a must have .

Having [my grandchildrens artwork] stacked with oldest towards the back will provide a great chance to see growth and change in style, taste, and creativity, one Amazon reviewer aptly wrote . Another reviewer called the frame an easy way to recognize each of their grandchildrens artistic talents. (The child in your life will be proud that their works are being displayed and honored, too!)

Grab a changeable display picture frame for yourself or the parent or grandparent in your life, or check out what Amazon reviewers have to say about it:

These frames were less expensive than some others, but the quality is actually very good. they look sturdy and corners are well-matched. I bought them for my grandchildrens artwork. I see what comes home in the backpacks and what gets crumpled in a pile. I hope these frames will be a neat way to save some of their smaller sized pieces. Having them stacked with oldest towards the back will provide a great chance to see growth and change in style, taste, and creativity. Later they can consider what to actually keep and what can be purged. I am considering painting them brighter colors than those offered online. Christy M. Davis

Have these hanging with pictures made by my youngest two grandchildren. They look so good and when I receive a new priceless picture I can change it easily. Great idea! jerrold rosenthal

I bought this frame to display my grandchildrens artwork and could not be more pleased. It arrived fast and was packaged so that the frame could not be damaged during shipment. It was easy to hang and loved that it opens like a book and there is a place for storing other artwork and I can easily change out the picture being displayed. I have family members that have shown interest in the frames so Im sure they will be ordering their own frames. Marie M.

I love these so much, and I bought two more. I showcase my grandchildrens drawings and can easily change up the pictures. Looks fantastic on my wall.  MemaH

I bought a frame for each grandchild and let them decide which picture to feature. Easy way to recognize their artistic talents. Lhad

When you have 5 kids and theyre bringing home something on the daily that needs hung up, the refrigerator is covered in a week! Now we can rotate all the good grade papers and drawings! A must have for every home! Ashley Henning

Strong sturdy frame. It was heavier than I expected it to be, in a good way. I like the storage system so I have somewhere tidy to keep the old drawings, no more guilt for throwing them away. Im buying one for a fellow mom with her own mini artists. The frame makes their art look quite professional. Lib

This protective box is filled with 18 smaller inner cases with snap closures that are the perfect size to house photographs or folded pieces of paper and can easily be labeled on the outside for keeping tabs on contents.

"Shadow-box frames are a fun way to display 3D items like a favorite sentimental T-shirt," Gill said. Doubling as storage and decor, we found this wall-mountable frame with a lockable door that makes it easy to store and change the sentimental items inside. It comes in three colors and finishes and four sizes and, if you prefer for it not to hang on your wall, it can also sit nicely on a shelf or a table. (credit:Amazon)

Regina Lark , author and certified professional organizer in chronic disorganization, suggested photographing genres of sentimental items like kid's drawings to old concert T-shirts that you're no longer able to wear. Then, you can send these photos to platforms like Snapfish, which create customized books containing your photos.

Snapfish offers tons of hardcover memory book options from various page outlines to design themes to book sizes. Additionally, if you want to memorialize special memories in a way that's more unique than a photo album, the company also offers your photos to be transformed into pieces of wall art, mugs, calendars and even photo tiles.

Using professional photography, editing and premium matte printing, Artkive publishes art books ranging from 25 to 200 images and also provides access to digital versions of your images in case you lose your book.

"If youre struggling to make the tough cuts, digitizing your old letters, photos, art, and mementos can be a great alternative to storing all of the physical items in your home," Gill said. Our other organizing experts agreed that using digital storage space can be a great option to not only reduce clutter, but to share them with others.

"For [your] thousands of photos, sort, sort, sort," Lark said. "Then put batches or genres of photos onto thumb drives or DVDs and distribute them to family. These make great gifts."

This pack of different-colored 64GB thumb drives makes it easy to organize and archive the sentimental things that you've decided to digitize from photos to video to songs and enjoy them on any device that has a compatible USB port.

Home organizing and redesign expert, Kayleen Kelly said that she "highly recommends 56-quart clear storage bins for stored sentimental items, photo boxes and albums for photographs."

Based on her suggestion, we found this highly rated set of four (or more) storage bins that are flatter compared to other 56-quart options, which can make them easier to stack in closets or store underneath beds. They also feature four bottom wheels so they can easily be wheeled in and out of tight places.

While there are tons of art ledges and floating shelf options out there, these clear, 15-inch acrylic ledges are low profile for a seamless-appearing display and can display everything from vinyl record covers to figurines to trophies. If clear doesn't suit your tastes, there are other color options including two wood finishes. (credit:Amazon)

"Sentimental photos and items sprinkled through a home is a great way to highlight and showcase those memories and feelings," Kelly said, seconding Gill's suggestion of intentional shelving.

We found this shelf that can either be free-standing or wall-mounted and is ideal for storing collectible figurines or smaller pieces of memorabilia. The five shelves are also completely height-adjustable. You can grab this shelf in four wood finishes, including black or this natural oak color.
