Contemporary Art Displays As A Feature In The Home

By Karen Fisher


When it comes to buying and showing off art within a home, whatever is purchased is based completely on individual taste as art is very subjective. The contemporary art displays one would see in a gallery are not necessarily going to work within a family home. Personal taste will play a very big role, as well as budget.

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 hunting through yard sales and second hand shops for old frames that can be cleaned up. For this project you really do not need to have matching items. You could even look through your local home supply store for different sizes and shapes and colors of photo frames. The final effect will be an eclectic collection with the focus on the beautiful subjects within the photographs.

To make the presentation of your artwork more cohesive, use a photo editing program to convert all the pictures into the same tone, for instance, all sepia or black and white. Lay out the frames with your pictures onto a floor area that you have marked out to match the size of the wall space. Arrange them and move them around until the look is pleasing to the eye, keeping the frames in a non-conforming pattern but retaining a square or rectangular area. You want to make sure that there is a balance especially because your frames are not identical.

The layout for identical, matching frames could be a lot simpler to achieve in that the lines will be straight and the formation will be symmetrical with identical spacing. If you keep your photos in color and use less embellished frames in a neutral tone such as white or black or grey, the color photos will be more prominently displayed.

If you are wanting to use a particular theme for your photographs, avoid filling a wall with photos from a specific event. Rather select your favorite pictures from that family get together or your cousin's graduation and use those. You may like to use a theme of purely nature pictures all taken on various hiking trips or family vacations. The collection will expand and grow 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.
