We picked our entrance hallway for this project since it is essentially "dead" space. That is to say, it's too narrow for hallway furniture or shelving of any kind; and we were finding the bare walls a bit blah. We opted for black and white photos with a mix of black and white mounts in white frames of various shapes and sizes. The aim being to unify all the different photos without everything looking tooo uniform. If you know what I mean?!
Do you like the strategically placed shopping bag btw? (TK Maxx £7.99 in case you were wondering. I love that bag. It goes everywhere with me and holds soooo much. Great for thrifting!) It's hiding a plug socket. I thought the bag was infinitely more pleasing to look at in a photo than a plug socket. Unless of course you're into plug sockets in a big way, and then I've just spoiled your fun ;)
Like this. We have something similar in our hall for the same reasons although I am much less restrained and so have a mixture of colour and b&w photos in an array of black, white, wood and (subtley) coloured frames. Most people probably think its a mess but we like it!
ReplyDeleteI do like your black mount with white frame idea though! That's really striking!
And yes, I like the bag!
It's looking fabulous, of course! The other great advantage is that halls tend not to have so much direct sunlight so less photo fade. Tho with the ability to whip off a print of a digital these days that is not so much of an issue eh. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent!! I really, really, really need to get on this type of thing around my house. We've been here a year and a half and there are only 4 kid paintings taped up on our wall.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have a space just like this with a light switch and a socket. The lovely Brabantia stainless steel kitchen bin hides half of it, but distracting with some pictures would help. Since its just by the front door we see it all that time.
