Picture frames or not? What colour?

4 years ago

Hello

i am thinking about putting 7-10 photo frames on the wall (as tv) in the corner behind the plant.

what colour frames would you go for? black? white? Or no pictures there and something else? I like modern/Scandi look hence most things are in white/grey/black...

thanks for your ideas!

Create a vignette with your frames. Keep the frame colours the same (black will be good) but go for different sizes. Start with the largest frame in the centre (middle of this frame at eye level) & arrange the smaller frames around it to create the vignette. You can also use the TV as the centre of your vignette to help it disappear! I hope this helps, all the best!

thanks, My dilemma is that the doors, skirting and architrave are all oak but the frames are MDF, any thoughts on what my options might be to make all these items work? I want to maintain the natural oak finish by simply staining but what to do with the MDF frames??

Hi snan - to address your questions: 1 - yes, the lamps work very well. With regard to the height of the larger lamps: do you know how high they would be? If the bottom of the lampshade is even with the top of the pillows that should work. If they are taller than that I think you will be okay with the smaller lamps. Look back again at some of the pictures above to see what I mean. The thing that will look odd would be if the top of the lamps were taller than your headboard. The idea is that when you are in bed reading a book that you want the light to be able to reflect down. As far as the lampshade size goes on the smaller lamps I'm thinking the shorter ones since they don't seem to drop down as far as the larger ones. 2 & 3-Definitely chair by the mirrored bedside locker with one white locker on the other side. Without question. The chair to the left of the bed gave the room life. Use the extra white one in a closet or another room. You don't want to overcrowd your room when you are going for a tranquil setting. 4-Absolutely okay to have bedside tables that don't match and look good in the room. Whether or not you like that is a personal preference though. I would only put the mirrored one next to the bed though if you have the chair next to it. It's how they play off each other that makes it work. If you don't keep the chair next to the bed then I would use both white tables beside the bed. It is also fine that the pictures are off-centre to the wall as long as they are centered to the bed. :)

A medium color floor is easier to keep looking clean than a dark or light floor. For an open floor plan, I would choose planks. One of the main features in the design of an open floor plan is to draw the eye through the space. A herringbone pattern would be confusing to the eye. Use herringbone in a small room.

Hi Ewa,

I think finish it off with shelves where the plant is now and cabinets above the T.V.

To create this type of effect.

The shelves can be used to make it look more personal. It will make the whole wall look more balanced.
