Decorating Your Walls ~ Part 3 (A 5-Part Series)
Decorating Your Walls ~ Part 3 (A 5-Part Series)
Ellen Caruso continues to teach us, step-by-step, how easy, inexpensive and fun it can be to decorate the blank walls in our homes. It doesn't matter if you are selling, staying put or moving in to a new place. Ellen shows us some great examples in this post about playing with black and white or sepia images.
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.
