Creative Decorating With Large Frames

A picture frame can be a great tool when decorating your home. A good frame can become the centerpiece of a whole room or a subtle accent to your other decor. Some creativity can help you turn a large-sized frame into a unique decorative piece. Hopefully the following will help you come up with some great ideas for decorating with large frames.

Instead of making the painting the center of attention, you could try sprucing up a boring painting with an elaborate frame that draws the eye. Any old picture can become a great display piece when surrounded by an attractive border. Try shopping at garage sales and thrift stores to find inexpensive pieces to re-purpose this way. Place it inside a beautiful frame to create a great wall decoration.

For a more abstract look, try framing a piece of cloth that has an attractive pattern. Pair light colors with a dark frame, or try it the other way around. This will give you a nice contrast that makes for an interesting decorative piece. Three different colors or patterns of cloth placed in a group of three frames can tie a look together nicely.

You could also try hanging a frame next to another one of a contrasting color or design. A set of three similar paintings framed in wildly different ways can make for a very interesting and attractive wall decoration. Even designs that seem mismatched can look great in an eclectic way. Try grouping a basic modern-style frame, one that is ornately designed, and one of an unexpected color.

For a very modern look, you could hang groupings of frames with no pictures in them. Take any glass out, and let the wall show through. All of the focus turns to the grouping itself, so pay special attention to what type of frame you use and how you arrange them.

Another idea is to lean a frame against the wall. Do this in a strategic location where you need to fill space close to the floor. A beautiful frame looks good anywhere, and leaning it like this is an unexpected and creative way to display it.

If you are looking for an easy way to add creativity to your home’s decor, large frames may be the way to go. They are very versatile and great for decorating in different ways. A good frame can help you display your favorite painting in an attractive way or stand on its own, adding style to any space.
