There are times when we all need a little boost, and the same can, at various periods, be said for where we live. What once looked like an incredible room with inspiring decor can, after a while, look a little dated and jaded. It basically could do with a little sprucing up, whether that be with some new furniture, a lick of paint, some new wallpaper, or new flooring. These are just a few examples of where a room could be updated. Even if these, and other, features are still looking immaculate and modern, the majority of people will become bored of entering the rooms of their house if they look the same every week and every month. A change is as good as a rest, as some say.
How to reinvigorate your home via picture frames
A good way to freshen up a room and often one of the simplest is to do so with the help of picture frames. It could be a case of adding additional frames to any room which looks a little bland, or it could be to reframe others with something new.
There are plenty of framing ideas to choose from which is a good thing as it enables us to add a different mix and vibe to various areas of our home. The reason we are changing things up was due to being bored and unexcited by the present look, so if there were only a limited number of framing options the decor may well continue to be uninspiring. Here are a few of the most popular framing ideas. There are many more to choose from as well.
Canvas floating frames are very much in vogue and give the effect that the artwork is floating within the frame, with space between the image and the frame edges. They offer a modern, slick and stylish way of framing canvas pictures or artwork that have already been stretched over a wooden stretcher frame.
Gallery-style frames have been popular for many years and were at the height of fashion and their popularity in the 2010s. They are still a favourite choice for many as they provide an eye-catching way to display artwork.
Shadow box frames are often deeper than what you would see with your average picture frame, and create a 3D effect. This is because the aim is to house larger items such as memorabilia, pressed flowers, sports clothing, footwear (for example football boots) and souvenirs.
Minimalist frames tend to be quite thin and are often described as simplistic. These are of interest to people who want even more emphasis put on what is housed within the frame such as a favourite piece of artwork.
Metallic and industrial frames are chosen by those who are looking to create a modern industrial or urban vibe. These are often found in contemporary city centre apartments but are starting to become popular all over the county.
Grid frames, or multi-photo picture frames as they are also known, display multiple photos in a single frame, this can help to save space on the walls of your room. They are a great way of displaying collections in a clean and organised way.
Art board frames, also known as inset frames, are ideal for those that are looking for a classic and stylish look. The artwork will have usually been painted directly onto an artist board and once framed the entire piece will be visible.
