A photograph can be more valuable than a work of art. But not everyone recognizes the decor benefit of these exceptional pieces, nor do they always know how to best display their personal art.
The secret is to design around the canvas. Allow the piece to own its space in a way that makes it look larger than it even is. Pair it with complementary colors like in the example below:
Find a place where your photos won't be in a visual competition with other decorations:
When it doubt......sweet and simple is the way to go. Overwhelming the space will only take away from the magnificence of the piece.
Photos of similiar formatting should be displayed together to promote a cohesiveness. Keep in mind that positioning your pieces across from seating creates an instant conversation starter as well as ensuring that your guest will notice your pride and joy : )
Never underestimate the power of matting! It's the accessory of the photo- and just like with a good outfit, the right accents have the power to make it or break it.
Oh, and I think I forgot the most important part!
Have fun and make it your own : )
