Featuring Contemporary Art Displays In The Home

By Karen Fisher


Everyone has a different view of what they like and dislike about art and because of this, what looks good in a gallery, might not look good in your living room. Each person's particular taste in contemporary art displays is open to criticism by another as tastes differ dramatically when it comes to paintings and sculpture.

If you have inherited a box of old pictures, get them repaired and renewed by one of the local service providers. There are usually several people that will offer the service and they sometimes will advertise in the local photography supplier. The photographs will look fresh and new again, even if they are sepia. Resize them, and have them printed on special paper and frame them.

If you have decided to fill a wall in your family room with pictures, select the area you will be doing the work on and begin the planning. Once the entire layout has been properly planned and the frames are attached to the wall, it should form a part of the whole effect in the area and bring your decorating scheme together.

Spend some time collecting the frames and pay attention to local thrift shops as well as people selling personal items at yard sales. It's also possible to find a good selection if you scour your local decor stores. Once they are all filled with pictures and hung on the wall, you will have an overall impression of a mismatched collection that holds beautiful pictures.

To bring the collection together and prevent it from looking too mismatched, you can use a computer program to edit your digital prints before printing them out. You can alter the tone of them to keep them with a similar theme, such as monochromatic. Mark off an area on the floor and start arranging your frames to fit into the shape. It might take a bit of work but it really is the best way to do it. Retain an outline shape such as a square to retain a balanced visual.

If you opt for matching your frames, the layout will be a lot easier to do. Pick bold black frames and set them out in a formal pattern with identical spacing between every picture for an aesthetically pleasing result. They could be in three rows of five frames or keep to a square of four rows of four frames. With a monochromatic frame plan, keep your photos in color for the best result.

If you select a specific theme for your wall of pictures, try to avoid using pictures only from one family occasion such as a wedding or themed party. Consider taking photographs on every family vacation and hiking trip or even just time spent in the garden. These pictures of nature and flowers make for a lovely topic and the collection can easily be added to over time.

This personal show of family moments and memorabilia is a deeply personal display for a home. It is individual to your family as well as showing off special moments and family members. The finished product will bring the room together in a very inviting and warm manner.
