Besides paint, wall decorations add much to the attractiveness of the house. Pictures, embroidered, printed or woven textiles, small native hats, and souvenirs are usually used as wall decorations. Wall vases with water plants are also used. Clocks are used both as a decoration and as a useful instrument for telling time. Mirrors also add a decorative and useful touch to a room. Decorative maps would also make interesting wall hangings for those who are interested to travel. A tapestry can also be used as a wall decoration.
The pictures and decorative objects used in a home show the personality and taste of those who live in that home. Let’s study how our wall decorations may be improved.
Pictures. Picture are the most common wall decorations. Pictures should be chosen for beauty of lines, pattern and color, as well as theme. The picture must also be right for the room before it is hung on the wall.
In the living-dining rooms, reproductions of landscapes, flowers and other beauties of nature are suitable. Religious pictures and small family photographs are more appropriate for the bedrooms.
Picture Frames. A mat is the material on which a picture is placed before it is framed. A mat gives a rest space between the picture and the wall. A small picture will appear larger if it is matted.
The mat used should be a little darker than the lightest color in the picture. Cartolina or other similar material is suitable for matting. Select those materials which are of light color. The mat may be cut out and the picture placed behind the cut out space.
Pictures to be hung are generally matted and framed. Some pictures however do not need a mat. They are framed close. Most pictures need a mat before they are framed.
The frame chosen should be simple. It should be a little lighter than the darkest tones of the picture. Picture frames may be made of rattan, bamboo, wood or metal. Most of the commercial frames sold are painted silver or gold. A frame should be less noticeable than the picture itself.
