Secretly everybody loves to impress their friends, family and work colleagues when they invite them around to their home. This can be done in any number of ways, from having the entire house renovated right through to tasteful decorations and displays on the walls.
The best and easiest place to make an impression is on large feature walls throughout the house. A large photo print can dramatically improve an otherwise blank wall space, whilst on a smaller wall a series of 2 or 3 smaller prints can create a charming and relaxing atmosphere.
When it comes to decorating it is important that the rooms that you spend the most amount of time in, such as the lounge room and bedroom, look really good. One way of doing this is to buy a few large paintings or photographs that have a common theme, like the seaside or rainforests. Then hang them on the walls in such a way that you get a sense of being surrounded by the sea or forest.
Also in order to make a really good impression on visitors pay particular attention to any rooms that you use for entertaining guests, such as the dining room or formal sitting room. If you place impressive photo prints on the wall where they can be easily seen by your visitors when they are sitting down then you are sure to get all sorts of compliments from them.
Finally one of the most important things to remember when it comes to decorating your home with photographs is to ensure that they are framed well with a good, neutral frame that does not distract from the photo itself. Also make sure that the photograph is hung at a proper height so that it can easily be viewed by people either sitting down (if it is in the dining or lounge room) or standing up (if it is in the hallway or entrance).
If you follow some of the free and useful tips mentioned above then you will be able to create a better and more relaxed atmosphere through out your entire home without the need to spend an absolute fortune.
