Dazzling Framing Ideas To Spruce Up Your Seattle Home
It is a common practice to hang pictures of people you love in your home. With a camera always in your hand via a smartphone, you can get some pretty awesome and very candid pictures that truly capture a moment. Printing these pictures and hanging them around your home is one way to keep those memories near and dear. Sometimes, a boring picture frame just doesn’t do a photo justice! If you want to make your pictures pop or get a little more creative in how you display those pictures, here are some ideas. You will find what you need to dazzle your frames at Greenwood Hardware.
Trellis Picture Hanger
A trellis that is typically used in the garden can be transformed into a unique way of displaying your pictures. All you need is a trellis, a small can of your favorite paint color and a couple of nails to hang your trellis. Paint the trellis and add small clips (binder clips, clothespin or actual picture clips) to the center of each square. Hang your pictures and change them out as you see fit.
Chicken Wire
You can use an old picture frame or build a new one from some small 1×1 pieces of wood. Stretch chicken wire across the back of the frame and use a staple gun to attach the wire to the wood. Clothespins can be used to hang pictures inside the frame to create a collage. Paint the clothespins to add a little color to the frame if you like.
Yarn Frames
Take a boring old picture frame and wrap yarn around the frame. Use colors that complement the picture you have in mind to bring out the colors in the picture. You can make stripes with the yarn to add some flair the frame.
Nature Inspired
If your favorite picture was taken at the beach, use a glue gun to attach some shells, tiny chunks of driftwood or some pretty rocks you may have picked up while you were there. Use items you would find in the environment where the picture was taken to make it more lifelike.
No matter what you choose, have fun and let your creativity flow. Even painting a boring brown frame a brilliant color that contrasts the colors in the room will help liven things up.
