Chances are, you already have a treasure chest of display worthy items hiding in your house right now. Think of items most people keep as momentos of trips, loved ones and achievements. The right frame and mat can upscale those items that are currently tucked away in drawers and scrapbooks into works of art that can liven up your rooms.
Here are five that you may not have thought.
1. Family heirlooms
- That vintage pennant that your grandmother used to wear or those lace gloves that your mom wore in her wedding along with their photographs can make a cool shadowbox sort of display when framed.
- Keepsakes often make for beautiful pieces of art, and can give a room an elegant, nostalgic feel.
- Plus, framing helps to permanently preserve these family heirlooms.
2. Maps
- Framing a detailed map of a city, country, or even the world adds a nice design element to any room.
- An old map can help you remember an amazing trip you took, or highlight your progress on a bucket list of places you want to go.
3. Newspaper or magazine clippings
- Preserve a record of your proudest moments or achievements with a framed copy of a newspaper or magazine clipping you or your business has been featured in.
- This visual reminder of your accomplishments can be just the thing to brighten up your office.
4. Children’s artwork
- What parent (or grandparent, aunt, uncle, or godparent), does not have some favorite artwork that has been presented to them by a child?
- Frame it in a whimsical frame to add some energy and fun to the kitchen or family room.
- Think how proud that child will be to see their work on display in your home.
