The ART of covering your walls

Cover your walls!

Yes if you follow us on instagram, facebook or twitter, you of course receive your daily dose of framing love from us. But we also think there are some other great ways to give your walls a lift, not just hanging up your fave image surrounded by the humble picture frame.

Check out below and get creative this weekend!

The shelf

Shelving! Of course! What a great way to display your favourite bits and bobs, not to mention it's also practical storage. We're not just mentioning straight, boring book shelves here people, shelving can be as easy as purchasing a few brackets from your hardware store and picking up some scrap bits of timber. Go fourth and be creative about displaying you're prized items and books.

Signage

Signs are all around us, and if we stop to notice how many are actually staring us in the face as we venture outside of our homes, it becomes apparent, there are a LOT around with amazing colours and designs. Make your own or pick them up at a local market / bazaar.

DIY features

I know some people shudder at the term DIY, but it's not a dirty word if the design and work comes from within you. Draw something up, tinker with it until you are happy. Match it to a piece of furniture or to the overall theme of the room. Sometimes a wall feature can complete the room! And hey, there is nothing more satisfying than having a piece created by you in your home.

Custom framing means CUSTOM FRAMING!

When we say custom framing, we don't mean you just choose from a board of frame samples and viola, we mean you literally get to tell us what is in your head and we will make it for you.

This is one of two frames we made for a customer who actually bought in their own timber as it was from his old house - we were more than happy to help out.

Frames usually have mitred corners, but since the customer wanted more a of "Shack" vibe for the artwork, we decided on butt joining the timber and also keeping the majority of the grey in the timber. This gave a nice, natural but weathered look to the overall product. The grey also complimented the blues in the artwork quite well too.

More prints framed and ready to go!

Here are a bunch more prints from our friends at LA LA LAND that we have framed and currently available on our site ($35 each!!!!!!):

Mr Brightside Cafe in Penrith

We supplied a whole bunch of Antons, Lornes, Brooklyns and San Frans to Mr Brightside Cafe a fair while ago and these are the first time we've seen the pics!

Viva la movie poster

We had a nice find from one of our friends not long ago and finally got around to putting them in frames. I also did a bit of research into the Cuban movie poster art to see exactly what it was about and this is what I found out.

Basically after the Cuban Revolution, movies became super cheap to go to again, so elaborate beautiful movie posters enticing people to attend the movies weren't needed as the theatres were full all the time. So, the government assembled a team of artists to create a new art style as fresh as the revolution and aesthetically opposite to the old ways, thus the Cuban movie poster art movement began….
