Guide for enhancing your Home and Office with Photographic Portraiture:

Displaying Portraiture in your Home and Office.  Today discerning families are choosing to preserve their heritage and commemorate their lifestyle in photographic portraits that serve as decorative focal points in their homes and offices.  When portraiture is a primary design element, it makes the decor of any location you choose more personalized and cheerful, or even more dramatic.

Choosing Subject Matter.   Portrait images communicate how we feel about ourselves, our world and those closest to us.  Their subject matter and settings are limited only by imagination: children as they grow, family times or events, artistic personal statements.  All are appropriate subjects for decorative portraiture.

Selecting a Style.  The decorative intent of the room in which you plan to display portraiture will set the design tone for the portrait and help in your selection of clothing and setting.  Style can be Traditional or Interactive that Highlights your Family Heritage.

Achieving Color Harmony.  The portraits overall color theme should blend with or compliment the room’s color palette.  Carefully chosen clothing and background elements can add richness to the room’s color scheme.

 Determining Size.  An appropriately sized portrait is one that dominates the space in which it is hung, but does not appear to crowd that space.  When planning an individual portrait or collection of images to be hung together, be sure to establish whether the space lends itself better to a vertical or horizontal composition.  Portraits are appropriate as focal points in both public and private rooms, so display them where you, your family and your guests can enjoy them every day.

Planning Your Art Work.  Giving life to your personal artwork begins with a planning session, during which you can explore your ideas and discuss creative possibilities.

When the finished work is on display in your home or office, you will find that it serves as both a tasteful reflection of your individualized decorating style and a tribute to the ones you love.
