Bento Box Bits of everything

Texture, depth, and wall art

While I am a fan of wall decals, I prefer my wall decor to have some depth to it. Which is the reason I am more interested in hanging stretched fabric prints - the wood framing gives the print depth and the cloth provides visual texture. While pictures in frames is fine, I find most framed pictures to be cliche - framed landscape prints bought at any Target or Walmart. Maybe one could try framing some souvenirs from a vacation in an enclosed box, or even just a nice picture in a shadow box frame would provide visual depth - more than just a flat picture. I guess what I'm saying is it takes more than just a fancy frame to create an interesting piece. These CB2 slant frames give a simple shadow box effect that can provide additional depth to the right picture.

Another possibility to consider is adding a faux finish texture to paint to give the walls even more appeal. There's simply dozens of possibilities I could choose or combine - so much it's making my head spin. I'm wondering if there is some kind of step-by-step process that interior decorators follow...maybe start with wall color first, and then go from there with choosing decorative art? I'll have to check some books out from the library to really figure out where to begin.
