Helping You Find the Right Frames and Photos for Your Home
Adding photos to the décor of your home can really tell a story about you. Framed fotos make the perfect home accessory.
Take a moment to look around your home. What do you see? Are your walls empty? Are you just starting to decorate?
There are so many great ways to add photos to your home and make each room tell a story about you. It is important to frame and hang photos that speak words about your life, your family, where you have been and even things you like. Family rooms and living rooms are a great place to start when it comes to creating your framed picture story. First, consider the decoration of the room – the colors, the style, even the placement of the windows. Once you have assessed that, then you can start imagining the pictures you want to see on your walls and the types of frames you want to see them in.
Family rooms and living areas are is a great place to put up photos of people who are important to you. Pick sizes and frames that best suite the room. Display photos you have taken yourself. Keep in mind that frame sizes do not always have to be the same. In fact, it is great to mix and matches sizes to add to the style of the room.
Consider using white wood frames when hanging photos of friends and family. A white frame adds a border to the photos that you will enjoy for years to come. It is classic, and will match in almost any room. Another option is to consider is using a frame that has a color of something in the photo itself – it adds great contrast! Just make sure that it matches your furniture and wall colors.
Photos in a home office space can really spruce up anyone’s day. Hopefully, your office space is full of tall windows that bring in ample light. In this case, you are best to choose photos with great scenery – waterfalls, mountains, landscapes. When it comes to framing these, consider museum glass since you may have a lot of light and reflection. The museum glass will ward off any reflections the light from the windows brings in. This way you can sit at your desk and enjoy the photos no matter which window the sun is beaming through. Choose lightweight and thin frames so that your wall space does not look heavy. The most common color for photos like these is black.
When it comes to your kitchen – be creative! Make your wall space full of French bistro photos with frames that have funky designs. Consider framing a welcome sign for people to see when they walk into your kitchen. Create a framed image unique to you – something that might say “Mom’s Kitchen”.
Do not forget, your photos tell a story about you, so make it a good one.
If you are like most of us, you have many, many photos. Do not feel that they all need to go on the wall. Wicker basket storage can be use to keep the photos safe and available on your shelving.
The nice thing about personal photographs, is that you can change them out over time, so that you can be adding scenes from your most recent trips to the collection.
