Interior Design Trend: Getting the Big Picture

by HFM Team on August 19, 2010

Oversized photographic prints are re-emerging as a new way of adding art to a room with a realistic approach.  Massive images produced as high quality photographs are transforming empty spaces throughout the home.  Larger than a game board and sometimes spanning the width of a sofa; these majestic portraits are becoming easier to produce with the advanced capabilities of high-tech digital printing.

Encased in simple frames, photographs from flowers in bloom to a variety of unique black and white subjects are showing up everywhere, even inside elegant traditional  rooms.  Their artistic statement cannot be avoided as the new printing processes allow for extreme clarity.  Large scale photographs add a fresh take on a traditional room, and allow for a sublime impact in a modern room.

There are also several resources that offer large scale black and white or color photography selections.  Archives of both classic and new images, ranging from sleek architecture to iconic movie stars such as Audrey Hepburn are easily found.  Color landscapes that have incredible clarity are awe inspiring – an entire room can be built around one particular piece.

While more of a modern statement, this type of art will find a home in a traditional style space just as easy.  A large scale photo will anchor a wall and add dimension to a room.  Combine photography with other works of art for a visual treat and make the room your favorite space to sit in.  Visit our North Carolina furniture showrooms and see how this form of art can work in for your home.
