Personal Photos
-
Personal photos can be a great way to create beautiful interior design pieces using something that is personal to you and your family. Photos can be of anything from family vacations to a blade of grass in your backyard. Take your camera out and start exploring. Take pictures of family events and anything else that you might find to be interesting. The photos can be used in varying sizes to create dramatic effects. A single photograph can be matted and framed to draw attention to a single use of color or effect. You can also combine several single, framed photographs in different positions on the same wall to create a single work of art. Try randomly placing the photographs along the same wall and then attach them with ribbon, a stenciled design, or even metal chain to create a unique wall decoration. Pictures can also be used in a collage, either in a collage frame, available in different shapes and sizes to allow you to incorporate a wide variety of photos in your collage. You can also create your own mixed media collage using photographs, newspapers, buttons, and anything else you can think of to create a unique interior design picture that can be framed and displayed anywhere in your home.
Children's Artwork
-
If you have children they are probably constantly creating some sort of drawing or fingerpainting for you to put on the refrigerator or cork board in your kitchen. Rather than placing these works of art on the refrigerator, use them as interior design pictures in your home. A good way to transition these pieces to something that can be used in the more formal rooms of your home is to mat the pictures and place them in a basic frame that coordinates with your interior design scheme. Another way to utilize your child's artwork is to place it in a decorative frame and create a larger, eye-catching interior design picture that highlights your child's work.

Decorative Paper
-
Most people will have some form of decorative paper lying around their house unused, whether it is wrapping paper for gifts or scrapbooking paper. These odd bits of paper can make interesting and unusual works of art for your wall. Cut the paper to size to fit a favorite frame or use a pair of scissors to cut the paper into decorative shapes or give it shaped edges. Glue the decorative paper to a piece of linen paper and frame it to add a unique element to your wall art.
Old Calendars
-
Take a look through your old calendars. There are often interesting and beautiful pictures to be found in an old calendar. Once you find a picture that you like, cut it out and frame it just as you would a photograph that you have taken. You can also make a collage out of different segments of the pictures found in your old calendar. Calendars often have pictures that are related in some way. Cut your favorite pictures out and paste them together into one singular picture. Use a piece of heavyweight paper or cardboard to affix the pictures to and either frame them or hang them without a frame. Either way you have an easy, inexpensive interior design picture.
