Framing For Interior Designers and Decorators: How Frames Complement Design
When people think about decorating, they often think about what is in a frame, and not about the frames themselves. However, frames can play an important role in the visual presentation of any artwork, photographs, or mementos that you want to display. They can set the tone for a room. For example, dark, glossy wooden frames convey a sense of classic luxury, while distressed frames convey a look that can be rustic or nautical. It is no wonder, then, that great interior designers and decorators put as much thought into frames as they do the artwork that is in those frames.
One of the most challenging components of interior design may be helping clients determine how to incorporate elements that may not seem to go together. Selecting frames that coordinate can help bring distinct pieces of art or photographs together visually, or match the tone of a room. Frames can introduce color to wall or bring together different styles. For example, a traditional frame with an unexpected finish can help marry modern and traditional trends.
Frames can also help create texture and dimension in your design and really give you the opportunity to create art out of almost anything. They are a great way to draw your client’s personality into the design. Find out what they love and you can use frames to make those things part of their home’s interior. Even the same idea can have different meanings and connotations for different people. The professional sports enthusiast may want a favorite player’s jersey framed for a themed media room, while proud Little League parents might want to frame a child’s jersey. Incorporating the idea that frames are part of the decoration, not just the background, can help you bring personality and individuality into the décor.
