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.

Family photos, including those handed down through the years, can make a lovely art installation within a home. With the advanced technology available to us, it is really easy to take even the most worn and damaged photos and have them touched up and restored to look practically new.

Use the area of wall in your casual living room to create a wall of photographs that will tie the decor together and make the room feel more homely. You will need to start planning the layout ahead as once the frames are fitted they should be complementary to the overall look and feel of the room.

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.
