It is times like these that you realise the need for an ice breaker… something attractive that will get guests talking. Perhaps a photograph? Or maybe a painting? Yes, a good focus wall can be a lifesaver. With a little imagination, you can transform the drab and boring to attractive and charming too… guests included.
Picture Perfect
It is amazing how you can use pictures to add a new look to your home. Adorn a wall in your living room with photographs of friends and family. You could either go with two or three large, elaborate frames or loads of small, simple ones.
For that quaint look, go with black and white photos. They have a splendid way of bringing back memories. This is also a great idea to do up a passage way.
Be sure to do up the wall in an eye-catching colour like deep blue, golden yellow or bright pink. You could also add a spotlight to emphasize your wall of memories.
In case you are camera shy, you could fill up those picture frames with scenes from old calendars. These are often theme-based like replicas of paintings by a famous artist or monuments from around the world, and they have an aesthetic appeal.
Paintings, too, always grab attention. There is nothing like an original but if that is beyond your budget, you can buy one from a local art gallery for a steal. Else, try something more artistic like murals. Mosaic tiles can be used to design enchanting landscapes or abstract patterns on your walls too.
