Everybody but me has a wall that needs ' something.'
The only reason why I don't have an empty wall
is I have been in my home for quite some time {25 years},
and I am a designer.
I am relatively confident & fearless
when it comes to this stuff.
The reason why I am confident and fearless is
because
I have done this sort of thing all my life.
And it is all I have ever done.
Practice makes;
{not perfect} but a less freaked out person when attempting this sort of thing.
Throw perfect out the window
unless Architectural Digest is featuring
your big boring wall in a 'wall' in a BEFORE & AFTER series.
If you have a big blank wall .....
do 'something.'
Unless of course
you want that "I live in a warehouse" look.
And many people do.
But... if you do not want the
"I live in a warehouse" look.
Don't make yourself nutzo.
Just come up with a teeny weeny concept for the wall.
Photographs of family & friends
or
art - interesting images.
It is only my opinion...
I feel that you shouldn't mix personal photographs with art.
Just decide on one
or the other.
I had to post this image....
it cracked me up.
This must be an engineer's home.
Don't OVER THINK this project.
As a matter of fact....
don't make this into an unpleasant 'science project.'
I think what you want to do is to
make the wall and your home
more interesting and reflect 'who you are' in
the images you select.
Right?
Are you with me?
Unfortunately the frames are the part of this project that is costly.
If you mix the frame styles....
this brings down the cost considerably.
here are some good sources for frames;
flea markets, garage sales. dollar stores, drugstores ....
You can use a simple approach
place the largest or focal image
in the center and build outwards.
That is what I do
when I am doing a 'cluster' of images
and they are all different sizes.
This wall is not PERFECT.
{part of the charming style}
But,
is it not 100% better than a blank or empty wall?
Like this room............
so cute and charming.
Take all the items off the walls....
yucko!!!
Have a great week!!
