Whether a photograph, a print, or an expensive piece of artwork, what you choose to display on your walls says more about you than anything else in your home. Pictures bring warmth, texture and personality to a room, but with so many different choices, starting a collection--or even selecting one picture--can seem a daunting task. The new decorating with pictures provides the perfect introduction to collecting and displaying art--a combination of practical information and passionate inspiration that will help you decide where to begin when choosing pictures for your walls. Using her own encyclopedic knowledge of classic and contemporary art, Stephanie Hoppen has selected more than 280 stunning images from leading picture archives and collections around the world, and has drawn together advice from other specialists and collectors. The book is divided into four sections: >Choosing pictures - provides an overview on deciding what to collect, followed by an in-depth look at photography, art, drawings, and other media. >Choosing subject - explores different subject matters available, from abstract art to fashion photography. >Framing - covers practical advice on conservation and care, and matching picture to frame, in addition to exploring traditional and modern styles in framing. >Displaying - offers a look at a variety of beautifully arranged private collections to demonstrate how to make the most of a painting--and a room. It includes advice on grouping pictures, working with background color, decorating living rooms, and transforming a wall with pictures.
