To liven up your home, bring some new life into itatmosphere a new mood, it is enough to add a small decorative touch to the interior. Thanks to decoration, you can change the style of the entire house without making major alterations. The ideas for decorating a house by the residents living in it are inexhaustible. There can be as many of them as your imagination allows. One of such ideas can be the creation of a photo collage.
A wall photo collage can be made from small photographs, which will be a canvas of family history.
Creativity is the key to success
It's hard to imagine a house withoutphoto albums that preserve the family history, captured on photographic paper. Occasionally they are taken off the shelf to show to guests or to remember the bright and significant events of family life. Only the most important pictures can be put on display for everyone to see. In the modern world, photographs have a completely different fate. They are not hidden in albums, they decorate the walls, they are transferred to furniture and other decorative items, thereby making them one of the components of the interior.
Once you have selected your photos, you need to sort them intocollages to print on a color printer. It may seem that placing photos does not require any effort. However, a chaotic arrangement and simple pinning with buttons is not exactly what every home designer wants to see, after all. A flight of fancy is good, but this alone is not enough. When planning to make a photo collage with your own hands, you need to take into account several basic rules for placing photos. They will help you avoid mistakes and create a bright, interesting interior detail. The main thing when making a photo collage is to combine images that differ in shape, size and genre. You can take the easiest way. Take several frames of the same shape and size, insert photos into them and place them on the wall. But such a “decoration” will not enliven the interior, but will make it boring and uninteresting. When making a photo collage, as with any business, you need to approach it creatively. This is the only way to achieve real success. Photos can become a decoration of any place in the house, the main thing is that their style is in accordance with the general mood and color scheme of the house.
Tools and materials for collage:glue, pencil, ruler, photos. If you don’t want to make a collage from different shapes and sizes, you can use ready-made frames of the same size. But here you need to meet one condition: you need to take such a number of frames that would be enough to “cover” the entire wall. Such decoration will look good in a hallway or office. Photos can become the highlight that will decorate and transform the interior. They can be collected in several blocks and placed in frames that can be hung in any corner of the house. Blocks can be formed by theme or style. Despite the rapid transition to digital printing, black and white photographs will never go out of fashion. They can bring their own special mood to the interior. Modern photos are also not without a certain charm. When making a photo collage, you cannot underestimate the importance of frames. They cannot be considered as a simple frame for photographs. They can become the main accent in the composition, so their choice must be approached very responsibly. The greatest effect can be achieved by using hand-made frames. The photos on the wall should be placed so that the central line of the composition is at eye level of a standing person. If the photos are of different sizes, the larger one is placed slightly above this level so that the smaller ones are easier to view. Before placing the photo collage on the wall, you should lay out the cards on the floor and evaluate their location. At this stage, they can be moved, swapped, or individual copies can be replaced. If the room is not well lit, additional lamps can be installed to highlight the panel. Return to Contents</a>
Composition by own hands
Photos on the wall need to be attached one under the other.friend. Before you make a photo collage and decorate your home with it, you need to prepare: select photos and prepare materials and tools. For work you will need:
In order for the composition to be complete andTo achieve an aesthetic appearance, the photos need to be placed on a solid base. Cardboard, plastic or other material that can hold its shape well is suitable for this. The base needs to be drawn and the blanks cut out with a knife. Their dimensions can be slightly larger than those of the photographs. In finished form, it will look like a frame. This technique will save a significant amount of money on standard photo frames. Use glue to attach the photographs to the blanks. The prepared photographs are placed on the wall. Using a long ruler, you need to draw a thin line on the wall, which will become the upper border of the future composition. The first row of photographs is glued along this line, at an equal distance from each other. To separate the second row, you can use a ruler or masking tape. Such markings will allow you to delimit the rows more accurately. The photographs are attached one under the other. All subsequent rows are done in the same way. Separately, it is necessary to say about the methods of attachment, which depend on the wishes of the owners and the covering on the walls. If it becomes necessary to remove the panel, there will be traces of glue on the paper wallpaper that will be impossible to remove. To get a mobile version of the photo collage, it is better to attach it to a painted surface using double-sided tape. If you move it to another place, traces of its presence on the wall can be easily removed. Another way to create a mobile version of the composition is to use a sheet of plywood, ennobled with a beautiful baguette frame. The result will be a “picture” that can be hung on a regular nail or secured with double-sided tape. Return to contents</a>
Multiple ways of placing pictures
By creating a composition from children's photos, you cantake bright frames of different sizes. Together with photos on the space of one wall, you can place children's drawings in multi-colored frames. Such a combination can create an amazing effect. You should not arrange photos "by height", from smaller to larger. Designers recommend placing one large photo on one wall. This way you can place a photo that captures the most significant moments in the life of the family. Fans of creativity in the interior may like this technique: attaching photos with ordinary clothespins on a simple clothesline fixed in the room. Such an addition to the interior will certainly surprise guests. In addition, photos can constantly change, updating the interior. The history of the family in photographs, placed on the wall, can contain photos of different generations. It can be constantly supplemented with new and new photos. The center of the composition can be a collage of photos of the smallest member of the family, framed by a large frame, or a general family photo. Other photos of different sizes can be placed around. A large number of small photos united by one theme can be placed in one huge frame. Modern technologies allow you to create photo wallpaper from any photo. This technique will never go unnoticed. A collage created from several parts of one large photo, arranged in such a way that a single picture is formed, will look interesting. More and more often you can see photos without frames that resemble large posters. Such a technique will harmoniously fit into modern interior design styles, for example, high-tech. They can be fixed to the wall in a chaotic order. A photo collage can be fixed not only on a flat surface. The wall along the staircase or the chimney can also be decorated with photos.
