Contemporary Art Displays As A Feature In The Home

By Karen Fisher


Art is a subjective matter, with each person's view being different. When putting art into a house, it personalizes the space and makes it individual and unique. Just because the contemporary art displays in a public gallery look fabulous, does not mean it will work in your own living room and for your family.

Family photos, including those handed down through the years, can make a lovely art installation within a home. With the advanced technology available to us, it is really easy to take even the most worn and damaged photos and have them touched up and restored to look practically new.

Depending on your room decor and how formal the area is, you could select several options. For a more casual room, such as a family room, use the largest wall in the room to start planning your art focal point. Once the pictures are up on the wall, they should complement the room and be a talking point.

One way to set up the installation, is to find photo frames that do not necessarily match in size and shape or color and start collecting them. Look at thrift shops and garage sales as well as your local home supply company. The result will be a mismatched, eclectic visual, with the focus being on the layout and the pictures within.

To bring the collection together and prevent it from looking too mismatched, you can use a computer program to edit your digital prints before printing them out. You can alter the tone of them to keep them with a similar theme, such as monochromatic. Mark off an area on the floor and start arranging your frames to fit into the shape. It might take a bit of work but it really is the best way to do it. Retain an outline shape such as a square to retain a balanced visual.

The layout for identical, matching frames could be a lot simpler to achieve in that the lines will be straight and the formation will be symmetrical with identical spacing. If you keep your photos in color and use less embellished frames in a neutral tone such as white or black or grey, the color photos will be more prominently displayed.

If you are wanting to use a particular theme for your photographs, avoid filling a wall with photos from a specific event. Rather select your favorite pictures from that family get together or your cousin's graduation and use those. You may like to use a theme of purely nature pictures all taken on various hiking trips or family vacations. The collection will expand and grow over time.

Using family photos and showing them in a specific setting within the home is a very attractive way of decorating. First, the pictures are completely unique to you and second, it is a deeply personal subject. The overall installation will be special as well as adding the finishing touch of contemporary art display to a room.
