The role of details in the interior is often underestimated, while it is they that often give the house a special mood and dynamics. The choice of photo frames will determine whether the images will immediately attract the eye or become a natural part of the surrounding space.
Instructions
Step 1
Pick the right color. First of all, take into account the color palette of the photos themselves. Do not use colors that dominate the edges of the image so that the frame does not "blend" with the photo. So, if the photo was taken on the beach, don't choose a blue frame. It is better to duplicate the color of a bright swimsuit or beach umbrella.
Step 2
Take into account the peculiarities of the surface on which the photographs will be placed. If you plan to hang them on wallpaper of active colors or patterns, choose simpler monochromatic models. The exception is classic interiors, in which it is permissible to use wide gilded frames with intricate ornaments. In this case, make sure that the quality and subject matter of the image matches the lush frame. Almost any frame will look good on painted or brick walls.
Step 3
Monochrome photographs are worthy of special attention. The black frame will give them a mournful look, the white one can be “lost”, unless the image is placed on a surface of a contrasting color. The best solution would be to choose a dark gray frame with a metallic surface effect or a frosted glass frame. Black and white photographs, placed in a wide mat, look very stylish.
Step 4
If you need to hang several photos, then a free field for experiment opens in front of you. You don't have to put your photos in the same frames. On the contrary, they can be of different styles, widths and shapes, hang back to back or be randomly scattered on the wall. Designers are also advised to buy a set of identical frames, which will differ from each other only in color.
Step 5
Place photos in double frames. Instead of standard frames, use polyurethane moldings that can be painted in the color of the walls or, conversely, become a bright contrasting accent. Frame the photo with moldings along the contour of the image, and then repeat the framing, stepping back 5-10 cm from the edges of the photo. Thus, the image will be in a large "frame", the role of which will be played by a part of the wall.
