Featuring Contemporary Art Displays 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.

Depending on your room decor and how formal the area is, you could select several options. For a more casual room, such as a family room, use the largest wall in the room to start planning your art focal point. Once the pictures are up on the wall, they should complement the room and be a talking point.

One way to set up the installation, is to find photo frames that do not necessarily match in size and shape or color and start collecting them. Look at thrift shops and garage sales as well as your local home supply company. The result will be a mismatched, eclectic visual, with the focus being on the layout and the pictures within.

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.

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.

Another way to set up a wall of personal photographs is to select a particular theme for the pictures. It's probably wise to stay away from filling the frames with one particular event such as a wedding or a Christmas party. Look at scenery or wildlife pictures that were taken on family holidays, and consider framing the best of them. This kind of collection can be expanded and updated over many years.

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.
