Photos in the interior (57 photos): beautiful use and placement of frames on the wall

Since the time photos first appeared, people began to strive to capture the brightest moments of their life on them. After all, this is a real miracle - paper cards with the image of familiar pictures-memories! Relatives, favorite places, important family events - all this, with the help of a photosensitive matrix, retain photos.

The process of photographing at first was complicated and quite expensive. Photo cards were considered a great value. They were collected into albums, put into frames, used in the interior design of a house.

Later, with the development of printing technology, photographs in the interior became even more popular, competing with paintings. And with the advent of modern styles (avant-garde, high-tech, eclecticism), they completely took the leading place.

Properly selected photos can decorate any interior - be it the interior of a living room, bedroom or kitchen. Using photographs allows you to bring personality and charm to the overall appearance of the apartment, and sometimes even affects the perception of space.

Interior design with photos

There are many ways to decorate an apartment’s interior with photographs. Hanging individual photos and creating photo galleries on the wall are the most popular ideas, but not the only ones. Frames with photographs, for example, can be hung on the ceiling with decorative ribbons, or attached to clothesline with clothespins. True, in this case, it is better to insert the photo not in the frame, but in the mat. This option looks rather unusual and the photo can be periodically changed, refreshing the interior design.

Frames that are not hung on the wall, but placed on special shelves and on the floor below them look very unusual. An interesting solution is to combine such a framework into a single composition. Bedrooms and living rooms are the best places to apply this idea.

Placing a photo (or a group of photos) on the wall of a room requires one important rule: the imaginary line crossing the middle of the central photo should go at about eye level - about 1.5 meters from the floor.

In order to decorate the apartment, you can use black and white photos in bottles, vases, glasses. Another option is photo printing on dishes, watches, metal objects, wallpaper, ceramic tiles and even suspended ceilings. Such ideas are suitable for interior design, such as bedrooms.

A clock or a mirror on the wall can also be beaten with photos. Moreover, framing a watch, it is best to take frames of different sizes and use them in a certain way. Large frames should be placed opposite the numbers 3, 6, 9 and 12. And next to all the other numbers you need to hang smaller frames.

When choosing a suitable idea for decorating an apartment with photographs, you need to take into account some points:

• what is the use of the decorated room, its functionality;
• style and color scheme of the interior of the apartment;
• future location of photographs;
• the specifics of the photo (family, poster or decorative), its plot.

Photo frames

It is very important, using photos in the interior, to choose the right frame - photo frames.

The color and material of the frames is better defined based on the color scheme and the style of the room’s interior.

Examples:

• modern styles allow the use of multi-color, black and white colors, plastic and metal;
• rustic style prefers shades of wood;
• yellow frame on the background of the interior in blue shades - a real decoration of the apartment;
• White frames look organically against a background of black and red colors.

It is best to combine large frames with small ones. Such combinations look stylish and very interesting. You can, for example, use one large baguette frame and several small frames and a mat in the composition at the same time.

Handmade frames look decent and unusual. To create them, it’s enough to buy blanks in the store and add shells, buttons, or some other decoration to them, which the designer will be told by his artistic imagination. And be sure to add a piece of your heart.

You can also make yourself an unusual frame, attached to the corner of the room. To do this, you need to saw off two workpiece frames on one of the sides, and then connect the remaining halves in the protruding or drowning corner of the room. Such a homemade frame can decorate the interior of any apartment.

Large frames can be used to enclose several photographs of one event in them. For example, weddings, childbirth, travel. Such a frame will look great when decorating a bedroom.

Making photo galleries

When creating a home gallery, it is best to paint all the frames in one color. In this case, the size, thickness, shape and texture may vary.

In the design of a room of bright color, it is better to use frames that are thin and light. In this case, you can emphasize the photo without overloading it with color. The photos themselves in this case, for the most part, should be black and white.

In a room of light neutral shades, on the contrary, it is better to use frames of bright expressive color. The universal option is wide frames of black, black-gray, or black-brown color.

There are several options for the layout of frames with photos in the gallery.

Examples:

• frames arranged in random order. It is possible to add photos in the future. If desired, randomly arranged photographs can fill the entire wall of the apartment;
• made up of photographs, various shapes. For example, the heart is well suited in the design of the bedroom;
• one of the options in the design of the bedroom is an image on the wall of the family tree and on each of its branches are family photos of relatives;
• rectangle-shaped photos posted on the wall. In this case, the size and thickness of the frames, like the photo in them, should be the same in size.

To create photo galleries, you can use not only frames with photos, but also other details - drawings, watches, mirrors, cute trinkets to your heart. All these gizmos will add uniqueness and originality to the finished composition. Such a collage is able to decorate any interior.

The plot of the photo

The plot of photographs can be very different. It all depends on the room to be decorated.

Examples:

• family photos, landscapes, genre shots - perfect for the living room and bedroom;
• portraits, black and white retro photos, mountain landscapes - are appropriate in the office;
• still lifes and flower arrangements - harmoniously fit into the interior of the kitchen;
• The panel in the form of a ladder looks great in the children's room, where each step is the baby's year of life;
• Delicate lyrical motifs are a wonderful plot for bedroom decor.
• A wall of stairways, a corridor or an entrance hall is an ideal place to place photo galleries on various topics. Any artistic composition will be appropriate here.
