Family History Design

 

Do you want to bring your family history to life?  I have so many clients that ask me how to showcase memories in their interior design.  This can be pictures, mementos, etc.

I think it is a great way to teach your children about their heritage or even to remind us of the happy times. 

One tip is to do a grouping in the same color frames and all black and white.  This is a way to get people to focus on the subjects, not the color. Not to mention, being distracted by all the frames.

             

The next thing is to add personal mementos from that person or even special pieces with a picture.  This helps you feel like you are surrounded by things you love.  A few pictures and a couple items is all you need to make a statement and without a feeling of clutter.

                     

                

              

These are pictures of my relatives.  It is a great way to have them with me and a fun way to express what makes you who you are and share it with others.

The key is to keep the frames in theme with the metals and colors in your room. DON’T over do it!  I love groupings, but less is more! Keep the pictures all color or all black and white. However, if you do choose to mix colors of photos, then I advise you to have all the frames the same color, to have some unity to the grouping.

Happy Decorating!
