Part of the goal of home decor is to create a warm and welcoming environment for guests and inhabitants. One of the fastest way to personalize a space is to add some photo frames with treasures images of people and places. Picture frames come in all sizes and shapes. For a more modern look, contemporary metal or glass with sleek lines can help streamline a space. For a rustic farmhouse look, frames made out of rustic wood with a distressed or antiqued finish definitely fits the bill. A popular way of display wall pictures is to create a galleria wall, and what that entails is closely grouping a large number of items or images that share a common theme. This can be accomplished by pictures with the same frames, or different ones for a more eclectic look.
What to Put Inside
Often, you find that perfect frame and wonder, “Now what can I put in it?” Gone are the days when frames were just for photographs; nowadays, there are numerous ways you can fill them. From traditional photographs, you can go to a favoured fabric or paper print. Postcards make great frame-fillers as well.
Grouping
Many struggle with how to group their pictures on the wall. The general rule of thumb is to place them just lower than eye height. Common groupings work as frames and pictures with similarities grouped together seem to flow.
For a more modern and clean look, some choose to group black and white photos, while others prefer colourful images.
Grouping a similar style of frame such as all wood, or all metal, or all open-back also make a scene flow and look organized.
Photo Stands
Of course, not all photo frames have to go on the wall. There is a wide range of styles. Some can stand on a desk with a built-in stand, while others can be displayed in a photo carousel. Photo easels are also a popular unique photo display option.
Photo frames also make a great gift idea. Even for those who seem to have everything, a personalized gift like a framed special image rarely misses the mark. Perfect for any occasion, a photographed image of a moment shared with the recipient is the best way to preserve that moment in their heart and mind. Purely versatile, frames for photos can be found in all shapes and sizes, colours and looks, styles and decors. For someone wanting to warm up a space or create an intimate seating area, a galleria wall with pictures that are related in some way is the perfect style.
