Laboratory Decorating Ideas | Homesteady
Choose an empty wall space or another visually prominent location, like the door, to create an educational homage to great moments in the history of science. Obtain or print off many photos of great scientists, particularly within the scientific discipline to which the lab is dedicated, and photos and illustrations related to their discoveries. Crop images if necessary to maintain a uniform size. Print multiple copies of each image if you have a particularly large space to fill. Depending on your visual preferences, you may wish to convert all the images to black and white.
Hang the images in rows using tacks or sticky poster-hanging material. Align the bottom edges of the top row of images with the top edges of the next row, so that no wall shows through. This decorating idea comes in handy when the lab walls are an ugly color or cannot be permanently altered.
Add a caption to each photo if you wish. Or, if students work in the lab, offer bonus points if students are able to identify the scientists, discoveries and significance of the various photos displayed.
