Making A Feature Of Contemporary Art Displays

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.

A warm touch is to use photographs that have been passed down through generations in your own family. Even if you have photos that are water damaged, or torn, there are likely to be several people that can offer the service to repair and touch up your precious photographs. The pictures can be reprinted after repair to make them look new.

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.

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 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 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.

The pleasing visual of having personal pictures and memories displayed in your home is also very personal and unique to a family. They will look attractive as well as adding the finishing embellishment to a room that is integral to the home.
