When we think of hanging framed pieces, we think of artworks like prints, paintings, and photos. However, we should also consider doing things differently, thinking outside the box. We can frame so much more than pictures, paintings, and prints.
You can find unlikely and amazing things right under your nose that you can tweak into unique framed hangings that will liven up your rather plain walls.
Your options are only limited by your creativity and preferences. Overall, there are tons of custom picture framing, meaning you have vast possibilities as you explore your creativity. Take the unconventional route and be amazed by what you would not have thought was doable.
Below are five ideas that can be inspirations for some fun things you can frame other than pictures, creating framings that will add some pop to your interior d or.
1. The Kids’ Artwork
The refrigerator probably is riddled with your children’s doodles and school projects. But you can switch it up, taking things a notch higher by framing these invaluable artworks.
You can decide to take the inexpensive DIY route and make the frames. You then can hang them in the kitchen or anywhere you and the kids find suitable, such as their bedrooms or the living room.
You never know, their framed artworks can inspire them to develop their interests in art.
2. Letters, Postcards, Recipes, Etc
Handwritten memorabilia are an exceptional choice since they are extra personal. Framed hand-written recipes from your grandma’ or letters from your children can make one-of-a-kind art pieces.
Vintage postcards, the many birthday cards exchanged through the years, can be framed and take people down memory lane.
These handwritten items have an immense personality that is worth showing off via a framed hanging display that will be meaningful and visually stunning. Not only that, but depending on the type of paper or print material, framing offers added protection.
3. Living Art
Imagine this – the canvas is the soil, the picture frame is the planter, and the paint will create the plants, forming unique living works of art. Living works of art never cease to make a statement. Conversely, you can create such framed pieces using different mediums and digging into your imagination.
For instance, you can make a beautiful miniature vertical garden using choice succulents from your backyard, pack them in a frame, and you will have something that requires minimal waters worth hanging in your living room.
4. Puzzles
Puzzles are fun; assembling them requires grit, focus, and determination. They are games the family is unlikely to grow out of and can be timeless pieces worth being framed and go on display. They can make some unique and colorful framed hangings, especially the puzzles with colorful images that are visually pleasing.
Framed puzzles can be fantastic decorations for playrooms, study rooms, or home offices.
5. Magazine Covers And Newspaper Pages
Newspaper pages highlighting a story of significance to you and your family can be worth framing and hanging in your living room. Similarly, vintage magazine covers can add a timeless charm to any room.
They can be clippings that feature a sporting icon, singer, or actor. It can also be your first feature story published in the newspapers or the first magazine cover you designed. It all boils down to what speaks to you that you find worth going up your walls.
