Picture Perfect - Decorating

Updated on December 14, 2012

Picture Perfect - Photo Finished

Driving into our valley is often a surreal experience, beautiful mountains, rolling hills covered in lush vineyards, and beyond them, a seemingly endless Okanagan Lake, sparkling as the sun reflects and the water ripples.

This is home, and it is hard to believe there could be a more beautiful place to call home all year round.

With such a massive lake as the focal point of our valley, it stands to reason that lakeside living is very desirable in the Okanagan.

If you don't live in the Okanagan though, or anywhere near a lake, perhaps you'll take this suggestion seriously: Why not make your own scenery right inside of your home. With just the right enlarged photograph and/or design, a gorgeous fusion of sharp simple lines, interesting textures, and cool colors may be combined to offer the perfect photo-finish to your home.

It is my hope that I may help you to find suitable photographs and/or designs to enable you to decorate your home to picture-perfection.

Sometimes you need to be in the right place at the right time. Will, the photograper, has a knack for that.

I can imagine this enlarged photograph hanging in an office, living room, dining room, in fact, in almost any room.

Bringing the out-of-doors inside. - Hockey Game

Will's love of the outdoors inspired a lifelong body of work in digital photographs and designs. His key to success is his interest in literally everything that surrounds us.

Will took this photograph this winter. It is one of my favorites.

Country Charm - Relaxing

In keeping with a quest to integrate nature into your home, here is a picturesque farm scene. Walking into this photo will take you to a private, relaxing sanctuary. Wander beside the meandering river, smell the autumn grasses, and listen to the water bubbling over the rounded pebbles covering the riverbottom like a lost treasure.

Scenery or .. - not

Illuminate your favorite photograph.

Light up your favorite photographs without having to worry about wires or cords. Get a light that can be used anywhere without the need for an electrical outlet or special wiring.

Use super-bright LEDs that provide up to 100,000 hours of museum-quality light--that's approximately 100 times more runtime than incandescent bulbs and 10 times more runtime than fluorescents.

Have you an area in your home that needs a bit of color? Just imagine it brightened up with this beautiful macro of a busy little creature, captured by the lens of Will Borden's camera.

Abstract digital designs - Abstracts for your home.

Neon Pinnacle

Perhaps florals, scenery and realistic pictures are not your style. You may enjoy decorating your home with abstracts. Will has created an abundance of tasteful abstracts to choose from.

All of these are quite colorful and I like them. Will's collection also includes some very subdued designs and black and white designs.

Abstract Digital Design - Mellow.

Abstract Fusion #48

Abstract Digital Design - Very colorful and electric.

Abstracts can be fun - How so?

When you see a home decorated in abstracts do you look at the art and try to figure out what it is the artist is trying to tell you?

If you have a bar. - Will has the perfect picture.

This is just one of Will's many photographs that has been made into a panorama for just the right placement. I believe that it would enhance a bar area and/or a dining room. What do you think?

Your opinion .. - please.

I love this picture and I know that Will has sold a couple of variations of it.;p>

Do you like this picture and would you use it in a dining room or over a bar?

Hanging your pictures - Find a suitable picture hanger

18 inches long it spans spans two studs and the built in level makes it really easy to install. It is a very clever solution for hanging heavy pictures.

Decorating your children's room

Have fun!

I think that one of the most fun rooms to decorate is the children's room.

When I was a young girl my mum made my little (very tiny) room into a room I loved to enter and spend time in. There wasn't as much variety in decorations then as there is now.

I realize that your child is special, and so are these original digital designs that Will has crafted especially for your sweet young one/s.

Designs for your children's room. - Original and cute!

Many of Will's children designs come in sets but may be purchased singularly.

Have fun mixing and matching them in a cluster, hang them in sets, with bows, ribbons and lace for little girls.

Boys will want pictures of ships, cars or airplanes along with pennants and their favorite caps on their walls.

Another children's design .. - to chose

Decorating you children's room. - How to.

When I was young my mum helped me choose some pictures for my walls. I still have one as a keepsake.

If you have/had young children what went on their walls.

An internationally known photographer, Will, has teamed up with one of the fastest growing fine art sites on the internet. In Will's gallery you will find close to 2,000 high quality photographs and digital designs.

Will has kindly given me permission to use some of his photographs. For enlarged images of the pictures in this lens please view them in Will's online Gallery at:

Will Borden.com

It is easy-breezy to see what a different frame or mat would look like on a photograph. Just choose the picture, then you will be given a large choice of frames and matting. Mix and match frames and mats until you have the effect you prefer.

Some of the photos featured on this lens were taken close to home, however, due to Will's travels, he is able to offer you a wide variety of scenes in many locations. Will has often spent days and days on his digital art during our vacations. I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I do. They are available for purchase if you so choose.

I hope that you have enjoyed this lens and found another source for pictures and designs with which to decorate your home.
