Here is the third in the series of ways to frame and decorate on a budget. This creative idea is as plain as black and white! You can create drama and appealing design.
#1 start with black and white images, perhaps greeting cards, your own photos, or your pick on the web.
#2 Create a theme, florals, scenic, kids photos....
#3 Make sure they are all in the same tone, there are sepia's, warm blacks, bluer blacks, and others. Try to match up several that are the same shades & values.
#4 Add spot color to them if you desire, and have the know-how. There are special pens to add color to photos, and computer programs that can do so as well.
#5 Purchase Black and white frames. Vary the shapes, use fun multi-picture frames, contrast with B&W mats if necessary.
#6 Frame them and Hang for a bold statement and dramatic results.
Here are the frames on my daughters wall, with youthful play of pictures with children. We toned all the B&W images the same and my daughter added the color.
