They are a refreshing way to revamp your not-so-lively surroundings and bring in a breath of fresh air and colour without going overboard. They have the ability to set the perfect mood if done right.
Best of all, they are endlessly customisable, allowing you to pick from hundreds of different options, or even just ditch them all and create some that fully reflect of your personality. Pick any theme and get started; classy, cosy, casual. Once that’s done, play with colours. Monochrome or an all-out rainbow party, you name it and we have something just for you. Pretty easy, right? Just brace yourself for an easy yet exciting activity to help chase away the lockdown blues!
The Standard Family Tree
Knowing and embracing our roots gives us a fulfilling sense of who we are. The Family Tree is a popular way to bring home your history, make it personal, and remind you of where you came from and the people that stand behind you through thick or thin. And if you’re not someone that thinks philosophically, the family tree just looks great. That should be good enough for you to include in your new interior design plans!
The Memory Wall
Do you have way too many memories captured in photographs and one really dull wall? It could be leading up the staircase, in a bedroom, or even the living area. Get all those photographs and prepare to honour those memories in a rather enjoyable way. There are many different ways you can plan out your memory wall.
One such method is arranging your frames in chronological order. Create a timeline of the memories you have saved and relive those moments each time you look at this wall. If you’re someone who just likes things to be stripped down and not too systematic, then put up the photo frames however you like. You can never really go wrong, with a memory wall. You can also add little frames with thoughts and words that you really like or suit a particular memory, and voilà, you have your own personal sanctuary of milestones and happy faces!
Pretty Polaroids, Cloth Clips, and some Fairy Lights
Are you one for cosy nights in? Someone who just likes to curl up in a blanket and watch a movie? If you are, and it’s starting to get a little monotonous, you might be missing a little detailing. It does not matter if you own a polaroid or not, you can still make this breezy idea work for you. All you need is some strings that hang across any place of your liking, a bunch of cloth clips, and some regular photographs. You can stick these regular photographs on pieces of white paper and create your own little polaroid snaps. Just hook them up to the strings using the cloth clips, and you have your own little polaroid wall. Want to make it a bit warmer and even more cosy? Use fairy lights instead of regular strings, and every night will feel the best.
VIBGYOR or Colour Pop?
If it’s time for a little colour in your life, then this is exactly what you need. You can either purchase a bunch of colourful frames online or in the local store, or even better, make your own ones by painting old existing frames in the colours you like.
Coloured frames look great when paired with simple artwork, quotes, or even leave it blank to give it a contemporary feel. You can either choose to have all the colours of the rainbow, pick a few, or even one distinct colour that stands out on your wall, and you have a lovely sight to refresh your eyes.
The best part about decorating your interiors with frames is accessibility and inclusivity. There is something for everyone. Whether you choose to make it yourself or just purchase them, they are an efficient way to refresh your interior look and give it an energetic vibe. best of all, there is absolutely no reason for you to stick to one idea. You can freely mix and match them, with different designs and ideas in different parts of your home. It all comes down to your choice and what you want to make of this little idea. Depending on how far you go, you will end up with anything from a subtle new look or highlight to something straight out of a movie set, or even Pinterest!
