What if you give back to old family photos that sleep in the drawers? Thanks to this very simple technique, they will become centerpieces of your decoration.
Almost everyone has old family photos kept preciously somewhere. To the photos of his own childhood are often added portraits and moments of life in black and white from our parents, our grandparents and even sometimes older generations. Rangeted in a drawer or slipped into an album that begins to yellow, they came out during family events, but quickly regain their place before being a little forgotten. However, there is a simple way to integrate them into your daily life. With this very simple tip, they find a place in interiors and become real decorative elements, even in the most modern universes.
It is not always easy to find photo frames adapted to old photos, because their format was not as standardized as it is today, and then multiplying small frames does not necessarily highlight the clichés. The solution? See big and deal with each photo as a mistress room. On social networks, Inès Garcia Jimenez has gone expert in the art of sublimating her family photos. For this, she takes any photo in black and white and she chooses a color sheet that will serve as a background. Not only does this trick allow you to better bring out the photo, but it modernizes the whole too. Then, she places it all in a frame, taking care to use a Passe-Partout or a Marie-Louise, an interior framing in thick cardboard which is placed between the photo and its frame.
In this way, it brings depth and highlights the image, while best managing its small size. The result then becomes arty and contemporary. It easily finds its place on the wall or in a setting to be installed among the rest of the decoration. Internet users are rather amazed by the result, both elegant and modern.
Inès’ final council? Rather than buying expensive commercial executives, she recommends buying them in second hand, flea market or on the internet because they will be much cheaper. She prefers wooden models to give more character to her photos.
