Parents do all they can to baby proof the home. Baby gates, safety sockets, kitchen cabinet locks etc. Not always are the frames around the house considered, yet they can pose a significant risk.
Think of where you have your frames on display around your home. Can a toddler reach them? If they’re on display on a coffee table, sideboard, or on top of a chest of drawers, chances are, if they can’t reach them already, they will eventually be able to.
When you have multiple photos to display on your walls, there’s more to consider than the size of the frame. When was the last time you flicked through an old photo album? A year or two? Maybe half a decade? When you want to change up your interiors, the photos on display can make a huge impact. However, chances are, of all your photos in storage, not all may be display-worthy due to cracks in the photo paper, creases, or fading.
Bedroom décor should make the room feel relaxed, providing a haven for the end of a busy day. Does your bedroom relax you the instant you walk in there?
With a little tweaking of the main wall above the bed, you can easily design a tranquil space, perfect for relaxing, unwinding and de-stressing.
For most, the main wall behind the bed only has the headboard as décor. The rest of the space above the bed is a blank canvas. It’s an ideal place to get creative and transform how your bedroom feels.
Artists can find themselves stumped with health and safety at times. Ever tried to get your art on display in the corridor of a hospital? It won’t happen without framing the art in a way that complies with the health and safety policy.
The walls around your home can affect humidity, condensation, mould, mildew and even cause issues with thrips and other insects making their way into your frames.
Chances are, there’s a drawer in your home filled with odds and ends such as postcards from friends and relatives, buttons that have come loose from coats and jackets and the odd small fridge magnet. There are also gifts from your kids from their school trips.
You could be surprised by the number of things you can put in a frame. It doesn’t have to be solely photographs and art prints that are housed in picture frames.
Here are three small items you can fit into a frame
The family home is filled with memories, and that’s not only shown in the photography of kids, grandkids and relatives on the walls, but it’s also the emotion connected to everything around the home. The inherited display cabinet in the hallway, the dining room table perhaps bought at auction and the nursery designed and created by Mums, Dads, Grans and Grandads.
What’s in each room is what gives your house a special sense of home. That special sense of home can be enhanced by putting photos and art of special significance with items that relate to the emotions that tie to them.
Any print can be framed, but it’s not always easy as frames are generally made to uniform sizes. When you have a print that doesn’t conform to the norm, and you really want it framed to put on display, you’ll likely be dismayed when you find out the price of custom framing. Whilst taking it to an experienced framer will get you professional results, it’s not always the case that you can justify the cost of a made-to-measure frame.
Fortunately, there are effective DIY routes you can take to frame non-standard sized prints without breaking the bank.
March 20th, 2019 is the official date for March Equinox, marking the beginning of Spring. A time of year when seasons change, time reverts to Daylight Savings Time on March 31st giving us all an extra hour of daylight, most of which will be spent relaxing at home.
Have you ever taken what you thought would be a great photo to get framed, beautify it and proudly hang it somewhere in your home that you know needs a little something to make it special?
