Once the furniture sets are settled and the walls are painted, it's time for someone to decorate the bare walls with eye catching and interesting photography prints. When thinking about decorating your walls, the first thing that comes to mind is a painting, a family portrait and wallpaper. Don't you think they're too outdated? Well, there's no denying that looking up at your family pictures on your wall at home is heartwarming but they're certainly not appropriate in the office or at your restaurant. Besides, why not change things up in your home with something different, like a rustic shot of an abandoned building?

Decorating walls in an office or at restaurant is different. They should have a theme. The central theme here is to decorate the walls with unique designs through the help of modern wall art.

People in the past have decorated their walls through mirrors and framed paintings. Furniture can also be used as a form of decoration. In fact, they receive more attention than others. But as designers want to come up with something new, they have sought new ideas for decorations. As a result, they have produced really good decorative pieces of art through the combination of traditional and non-traditional photography. Rustic themed photos from abandoned buildings, still life photography or authentic and custom photography of old relics from years ago.

Today, there are a lot of things that can be added to the traditional wall decors. There are vinyl stickers, murals and wall hangings. The beauty of such accessories can be used in any way to produce a unique design. Modern wall graphics can also change the look of a room easily. The only technique to make the most of the wall graphics is that they should be created in a way that will complement your office or your restaurant. Surely, you would like to get a good impression to your customers, right? You want to grab their attention because of your good wall art. Thus, do not just pick any art you find out there. Choose better to spend wiser.

Aside from these mentioned decorative arts, did you know that photo prints can also be used as a wall decor? Why not settle with photo prints if aside from being simple to acquire? They are also affordable in price and they will stand the test of time. Good quality photo prints that are sealed and secured in a frame can also look good on your wall. Unlike wallpapers and stickers which can spoil the wall paint, photo prints can be easily replaced in accordance to the fast-changing trends and needs. Sunrise landscape photography, attractive urban scenes or rustic back road photography can add a certain uniqueness to the walls of your home, office or restaurant decor.

Photo prints can come in various themes and subjects which can go well with both traditional and modern room settings. Mountain views, buildings, natural scenery and animals can be offered in a single or set of pieces. They can change the overall look of your room, in complement to its theme. Below are some examples of a sports theme for your den, or restaurant photo decor.

How do you choose which photo prints are perfect for every room at your home or office?

  • Your personal taste. What do you usually like about photos? Do you like cityscapes? How about urban scenes? Perhaps landscapes or sunsets get the most of your attention. Whatever it is, your personal taste will dictate it. After all, the photos will speak for

    themselves. The kind of photos you display on your walls defines your interest and personality.

  • The photos don't need to be extravagant. Even the simplest photos can be appreciated. You don't need to look for photo prints which are so extravagant in colors. The simplest shots can already convey a lot of messages once perfectly captured.
  • Choose inspiring photos. Photos can become valuable once they're able to inspire people. Choose photo prints that are like this. Choose photos which have the ability to motivate anyone who comes across the wall of your office or home and looks at your wall displays.
  • Color and size are very important. Obviously, if you got a big bare wall, you can go for larger photo prints or a set of patterned photo prints. On the other hand, if you only have a small wall to decorate, you can maximize its space through one to two photo prints. In terms of colour, choose a photo with colours different from your wall. This is to ensure that your photos and the wall will complement and not outdo each other.

The Importance of Office Wall Decor and Photography

Don't just settle with plain-coloured paintings or overdone motivational posters. They can never exude real and authentic feelings, especially in a workplace or in a business establishment. In an office, the presence of wall art or décor is important because they can inspire employees. Photography for offices can motivate employees to do even better. Certainly, the photo prints do not only give life to the office walls, but also to people looking at them.

Meanwhile, wall décor in a restaurant is a way to get leads. Wouldn't you like people to come and see what your restaurant has to offer because they find your walls attractive to look at from the outside? This is a common scenario. By-passers get attracted to a business establishment's interior walls and so without the intention of really getting in, they are persuaded to come in and see the walls up close and personal. And to not waste the effort of coming in, they'll also try what your new establishment has to offer.
