Decorative
frames serve a role in the
projects that goes beyond aesthetics. When well chosen and positioned, they help shape the atmosphere of a room, bringing
balance, visual interest, and even emotional narratives to the home. It's not just about filling empty spaces on the walls, but about translating the
identity of those who live there.

By exploring the possibilities of decorative frames, it is possible to create harmony even in
small spaces or with a more neutral palette. The secret lies in understanding the impact that these pieces have on the
projects and using them strategically, respecting
proportions, styles, and contexts.
Effect of Frames in Different Projects
Each
project in the house calls for a
distinct visual composition. In social spaces, such as living and dining rooms, decorative frames help
host with personality. In bedrooms, they can create a
sense of coziness – functioning almost as an extension of the fabrics and lighting in the area.

Transit areas or service areas also benefit from the presence of
art on the walls, bringing
lightness and even making everyday paths more interesting. The use of decorative frames in these spaces does not need to follow a conventional logic, opening room for
freer and more creative compositions.
How to Include Decorative Frames in the Decoration
The
choice and positioning of decorative frames vary according to the
project. Below, see specific suggestions for the main rooms in the house:
Living Room
This is the place where frames gain the most
prominence. They can be positioned above the sofa, forming a symmetrical or organic gallery, or can occupy entire walls, creating an atmosphere of an art gallery. The important thing is to respect the proportion of the furniture and the
color palette of the project.

Dining Room
Here, the choice of frames can enhance the experience at the table.
Images related to nature, gastronomy, or contemporary art work well. Betting on a large piece or a more subtle set helps balance the decoration without taking the focus away from the interaction.

Bedroom
In the bedroom, decorative frames should dialogue with the
sense of coziness and relaxation. Compositions over the headboard or sides of the bed, in soft tones or with
sensory themes, are welcome. Lighter frames and abstract or photographic images bring serenity to the
project.

Transit Areas
Hallways, halls, and staircases gain interest with well-positioned frames. This is the ideal space to explore
photographic series, vertical compositions, or small grouped frames. The linearity of the
project favors sequential visual narratives and slimmer frames.

Bathrooms
Even in humid
projects, decorative frames can be used with
resistant materials and adequate protection. They break the monotony of cold walls and bring irreverence or sophistication to the space.
Phrases, minimalist drawings, or botanical images work well in these cases.
