Lets talk wall portraits. Some may think of a thick, gold, ornate frame above an antique sofa in an untouchable marble floored living room. While there is nothing wrong that incredibly formal style, wall portraits can be more versatile than you may think. The increasing trend of displaying large portraits in you home in a casual manner offers flexibility in your home. While there are rule-of-thumb tips to go by, like keep the width of your portrait/art a few inches shorter than the width of the furniture it is centered over. Or relate your portrait size (including frames) in proportion to the space on a given wall. Balance may be achieved in many ways.
Take this photo for example. The collage offers a unique, customized option for your space with affordable 11x14 print sizes. This could be just the look your family room needs!
Take note of the photo with the three face shots of children. A 16x16 or 20x20 gallery wrap would be best suited for this look because your portrait can be warped around the edges and no frame will be needed. Brilliant!
For the photo in silver frames, a 14x14 inch print would be a perfect match when paired with a mat and frame for a lovely collage.
Let your creativity soar! Bring in a photo of your room with your next portrait session and Stephen (our award winning Charlotte photographer) will be able to help you design a look just for your home.
