Everyone has treasured family photos and artwork, but framing them artfully and tastefully can be challenging. Fortunately, with quality ready-made, photo and custom framing, it’s possible to create displays that will complement whatever space you’re working with. University Art can help you achieve the look you’re after, affordably and elegantly, when you visit our custom framing departments in Redwood City and Sacramento.
Framed art makes wonderful decorations for any room. Framing family photos make an area feel cozier and give it character, and there are endless ways to take advantage of today’s many creative framing options.
A few personal photos displayed on the wall, above your desk or in your work area can make a space feel more personal. Use different shapes and sizes in similar frames, or mix frame colors and shapes to create an interesting and eclectic composition.
In a dining room, photos displayed on the wall adjacent to the dining table make beautiful accent decorations, and photos in black and white or sepia tone add an artistic, vintage touch.
Narrow spaces such as hallways can make it difficult to have décor stand out, but framing photos and grouping them takes up very little space and can dramatically enhance the look of an otherwise underutilized area.
The staircase is a classic area for displaying framed art. A large collection of family photos that use the same type of frame, but in different sizes, can create an overall visual impression that is both cohesive and creative. Alternating rectangular and vertical frames can also add a modern touch. Place them at different heights and angles for a more eclectic impression, or in well-defined rows and columns for a more organized and structured look. For a modern display consider sleek wall shelves placed asymmetrically at different heights.
The living room is often the largest room in the house, offering the perfect space for a wall art gallery. Cover an entire wall, mix and match framing of different media, or display paintings along with framed photos, DIY pieces, children’s artwork and posters. To maintain an overall cohesive design, matching frames is a great way to pull a look together.
