Picture Frames

Using Picture Frames to decorate an interior space

Almost every body uses picture frames to decorate and enhance their home interiors. When strategically placed, picture frames can completely change the look of the room.

There are two kinds of picture frames- paintings and sketches done by hand and photographs that have been captured by a camera. A picture frame is made up of two main components that are equally important, the subject of the picture and the frame itself.

The picture’s subject could be just about anything and depends entirely upon the artist or the photographer who could choose from an infinite array of subjects. You could get hand drawn pictures as well as photographs of people, animals, birds, portraits, natural beauty, oceans, mountains, cityscapes, vehicles, abstract shapes, geometric as well as non-geometric shapes, architecture, scenery, the list could go on endlessly.

All these pictures could be ‘framed’ according to your taste and voila! – you have in front of you absolutely beautiful picture frames. Choosing a frame should be given as much importance as choosing the picture to be framed. The frame could make or mar the final effect of a picture. You should take into consideration the dimensions and quality of the wall where you will hang the picture frame as well as the atmosphere of the interior space where the picture frame will be put up. Well-placed picture frames grab the attention of anyone who enters the room and can be the center of conversation. It is not compulsory that picture frames should be hung on a wall. Small frames, if placed strategically on a table can enhance the atmosphere of the room.

Art lies in the eyes of the beholder. Having said this, pictures as well as their frames are a matter of personal taste and choice. How you put them together can dramatically alter the whole effect. When choosing a picture frame for a room, the design theme of that space should be taken into consideration. If the room design is predominantly oriental then, adding a picture with a lot of colors will add to the oriental effect. Oriental design styles place more emphasis on decorative elements including door and window frames, cornices, brass decorations, drapes and small plaster treatments.

Putting up a picture or a paining with a highly detailed subject or natural scenery could enhance the continuity of the oriental theme. Nature is full of colors in every hue and tone and this could be a perfect complement to any oriental design style.
