Framing & prepping some pwetty bitss for our client! We’ve sourced and installed 58 pieces already.. still got a few to go!
When curating art for your home:
- Get rid of all the white frames and white mounts that were in fashion ten years ago.. and reframe in vintage or thrifted frames
- Be dramatic and cheeky with scale - use a huge piece to take up loads of one wall.. then pop a tiny piece above a door for an unexpected moment
- Create moments throughout the home where art pools together - in a corner on a stairwell, in a dining room.. and leave space in between so that you get both maximalist and minimalist moments throughout the house
- Use plates and weird objects - walk around the house and pick up objects and ask yourself ‘could I put this on the wall!?’
- Mix together vintage wooden frames, real canvases, wall hangings, photographs, mixed metals..
- Cut small pics from magazines or family photos and frame them in larger frames with coloured mount.. making the image look small and interesting in the middle
- Mix metal and plastic frames.. use weathered metal or shiny lacquer or plastic frame to add sexy sheen amidst a wall of canvases or textured wall hangings
- For the fronts.. put shiny (glass/perspex) frames in places where you view them straight on to avoid reflective glare, and pop non-reflective, textured pieces in areas where you see them from the side - slim hallways for example
- Lastly.. mix your budget. Save up for a beautiful piece from an artist you love.. but also go to the charity shop, make your own art, ask friends to send you photos of that time you went hiking, frame a random keepsake.. and order prints and posters of imagery that represents you and your passions
Art should make you happy. Make you remember. Make you proud of your space. And shouldn’t make you broke 😂
