Picture ledges offer endless possibilities for creative wall design. Where previously individual pictures adorned white walls, nowadays, they are often placed on a picture shelf – for framed photos, drawings, and decorative objects.

A passe-partout made of high-quality cardboard emphasizes the effect of the motifs. It also protects the images – which do not come into contact with the pane. This makes a passe-partout an effective design element in photography and art.

A wall clock is a timeless trend in interior decor. It shows the time, is decorative, and looks stylish in any room thanks to its creative, modern design. For instance, place it as a focal point in the dining or living room.

Designing a picture wall on the stairwell is the supreme discipline when it comes to wall decoration. Basically, the picture frames are best arranged loosely all over the wall. It helps to think of a center line that runs through the frames parallel to the stairs.

 

Trendy: Mirrors in Round Shapes

Mirrors with a metal frame look particularly elegant. A real eye-catcher is a mirror with a golden frame. Gold suits everywhere – regardless of whether it’s a rustic display case made of walnut or a modern white coat rack.
