Display Thursday: Across the Board
Jan 26, 2012 | Posted by: Megan Stay
I’ve talked lots about movement form floor to ceiling through photographs. Lengthening the height of a room. Well this time we’re talking about making a room look bigger around by leading your eye across the walls.
When I saw this photo it totally changed my mind for how I want to display photos in my loft. We’ve got loads of art and posters from our various travels. We’ve got great plans to put them all up in the loft. I was going to do a collected look on the walls around the room in the same way I’ve done down stairs and in my bedroom. But I love how these move around the room on the same plane of view. The similar frames make the photographs the focal point and continue to move the eye across the room.
This beachy vibe is perfect for a seaside home or for anyone wanting to bring a little breezy air into a space. I love these fences that I’ve only ever seen on the east coast. I think they’re super romantic. Keep in mind this is definitely a more casual feel (as you can tell from the half naked man on the couch, la-la!) and would not work for a formal room. You could even do something like this for a background of a treat table or photo booth at a wedding. Use clothespins to attach the photos to the fence for easy changes all year long! And because it’s a fence there is no limit to how long your fence can be.
Using images to wrap a room can seem busy and overwhelming but building slowly and maybe doing a more narrow strip of photographs. I think this would be amazing to blend in photos of ancestors and current ones. Also, how much are you loving that light fixture peering into the photo?! I have a serious problem with loving light fixtures that I have no place for in my house… Follow the link and look at the rest of the house, it’s amazing.
Do you have a space to make movement around the room with photographs?
