Decorating
With Picture Frames
Picture frames are a simple and fun way to add color, character
and style to any room. if you just
want to add color to a shelf or mantle try a
series of similar frames in coordinating colors, example three shades of green
or blue.
If you are trying to set a theme in a bedroom then be sure to stick with
one color of frame and two or three styles. Example pewter ( antique looking
frames ).
If you want to make a dramatic statement then try a bold color such as
black or deep red. Take a larger frame and hang on the wall then choose
identical but small frames such as a simple square and group them with the
larger frame. If you make a grouping this will add to the impact and help you
to achiever your bold and dramatic look you wanted. never hang your pictures
high up on the wall. You should hang your pictures so they are eye level with
you.
Here are some great places to find the exact frame you want. picture
stores, department stores, flea markets, yard sales, garage sales, antique
stores and thrift stores.
You can decorate picture frames with charms, crystal beads or antique
costume jewelry and you have a special keep sake. There are many things you
can do. If dad is a golfer then add a golf club to his picture frame, or
fishing detail. For mom maybe some flowers for her gardening.
You can create frames for a craft hobby or to give away. Make those special
pictures a special frame.
