Beyond Pictures: Creative Ways To Use Picture Frames In Interior Design

No matter what theme your interior home is decorated in, you won't have any trouble finding beautiful picture frames to match your style. From weathered wood to shiny brass, picture frames can make a fashion statement. Thinking beyond traditional framed photos will help you find creative ways to take advantage of picture frames in every room of your home.

Picture frames in the kitchen

If you want a fun way to decorate your kitchen, frame some of your favorite recipes to hang on a wall or display on your kitchen countertop. If you have hand-written recipe cards from relatives, displaying them in a frame will keep them in view when you want to make a special family recipe. The glass in the frame will protect your recipes and keep them clean.

Picture frames in the nursery

Why spend a fortune on wall décor when you can use your baby's clothing? Frame the gown your baby wore home from the hospital to serve as a reminder of that special day. Use a shadowbox frame to display baby shoes.

Picture frames in the playroom

Turn your child's playroom into an art gallery by framing their drawings and paintings. Your child will feel proud to see their art displayed, and you can't go wrong with original art pieces for playroom décor. Choose picture frames in a neutral color to keep the focus on the drawing or painting.

Picture frames in the living room

The living room is a perfect place to display family vacation memorabilia. A framed collage of movie ticket stubs, concert tickets, or brochures from past family vacations will be a constant reminder of those great memories you made together.

Picture Frames in the Bathroom

Bring a feeling of nature to your bathroom by framing dried herbs, grasses, or flowers to enhance your décor. Create a wall collage by framing single dried flowers in a variety of small frames and grouping them together on the wall.

Picture frames in the bedroom

Add a touch of romance and nostalgia to your bedroom by framing cards and letters from your loved ones. Glue strips of lace to an old love letter before framing to up the romance factor. Frame cards by occasion or holiday and display them to coordinate with the specific event, such as Valentines day, Christmas, or an anniversary.

With the wide variety of picture frames available, why limit them only to framing photos? Getting creative with frames will add a unique touch to your interior design by allowing you to display family treasures that otherwise would be stored away and forgotten.
