Everyone who is once involved in interior design is willing to
have the special place with special atmosphere. Lots of techniques and approaches
are offered to make the place attractive and exclusive and retro-picture approach
is one among many others. Should you have no idea of retro-picture using as interior
décor, the only thing to do about this approach it to hang all of your black-and-white
pictures from photo-albums in wooden or plastic frames to walls. And this is not
the point.
As psychologist
state the interior of your house is what reflects the core of human inner
world. That’s it but when people come home after long working hours they
feel like relaxing. And selection of black-and-white pictures is a good
challenge to use.
Family pictures is the best selection to win. The pictures with
kids, dolls and teddy bears and the ones with family happy events make positive
impression and evokes positive emotions. Yet, pictures of grandmothers and grandfathers
who sit gloomily waiting for the session end or the family pictures when after
the long and tired day you look exhausted are not good to choose. And surely, strangers
in family pictures should be avoided. When you feel devoted, you are free to use
pictures of outstanding scientists or favorite artists.
Nature and architecture in pictures are good to look at while
architectural pictures can successfully change the place dimensions.
Hobby pictures. The pictures that demonstrate the
aspirations and likings as airplanes, cars, space, landscape, various items and
the best interior design styles. For instance, the image of the French model of
De Dion Bouton 1902 car adds more charm to the moderate and trivial interiour
design. The stringent classic interior style is well diluted with the image of
Eiffel tower.
The best and
easiest way is to get many ready-for-use frames. As alternative, special
wooden or plastic frames can be ordered at the framing shop in the same style
to emphasize the interior design, though different in size and shape. Vintage bulky
frames are the best for classic interior, however family pictures for home
retrospective require simple frames coated with glaze or passe-partout.
The passe-partout is the good option to replace wooden, plastic
or aluminum frames. It is made from paper and can be released in various texture,
from standard flat or corrugated cardboard
to velvet and gilding. The craftsmen at the framing shop offer a wide range
of colors, texture and style of the passe-partout suitable for your interior
style. When passe-partout is made at home, one should bear in mind that the basic
canvas should be a little bit larger in size than the picture. The point is that
any chosen material is used to make the frame to set out or emphasize the
picture itself, and that’s it. As for the inner contour of the passe-partout,
it offers much to fancy and experiment like carving heart-shaped or opt for any
other shapes.
So, the pictures are done and trimmed and the question is
there to place all of them in proper places. The walls is the best. The wall surface should
be even and, to the best effect, to match the retro-pictures and frames in
color. Black-and-white pictures helpfully shade wallpapers of vivid color and
tender pastel. So, interior designers readily refer to retro-canvas to decorate
boutiques and restaurants which creates the intense background for the items
for sale. On the top of it, it creates the appropriate atmosphere. Nevertheless,
black-and-white pictures used in black-and-white interior can look ridiculously
and distort the perception of the design unless made and done by professionals.
When pictures are placed on walls, double-sided adhesive
tape or thermal glue is the best option to avoid destroying the walls. As an
option, the pictures can be placed on various shelves, styled as the picture
frame or specially designed for particular pictures, something like the pedestal.
Though, conventional shelves are also suitable but the pictures should match the
books or other items placed there.
The retro-picture that you love and willing to look at every
time can be placed at the room door, sliding-cupboard and even the lampshade. When
you come to this idea, you don’t need to have your picture sized as the carpet,
trim it with ultra-fashionable frame, drill cupboards or fix to match the lamp.
The special framing shops make special photo-wallpapers to decorate doors or
create the unique image of you on the wall.
Verena Lang,
the designer for the Australian Ivydesign, offered the special and unique application
for the trivial dinner table. She used it as the frame for her picture and
the designed project was called Picture table. This is the modular table which
is attached to the wall by one side to have a meal and the second position
offers to lift it up with folded legs to fix to the vertical surface. So, the picture?
It is on the reverse side of the table top. As an alternative, Verena Lang
offered to place a mirror in the frame.
The Google Corporation launched the online service for designers
and those who like experimenting called Historypin. The core of this service is
that anyone is alloed to upload their own retro picture or the image of streets,
landscape and get the picture online. When the black-and-white picture is put over
the color picture the collage acquired may be used as a unique tool for further
online activity.
