How I use photographs to decorate my new home!

Decorating a new home is always the most interesting but also the most difficult part.  How to display all of your favorite art pieces, what to do with the empty space, how to create a nice environment without clustering too many decorations on the walls... and the list goes on.  

I consider myself quite lucky to have a decent size flat (in Hong Kong standard!) with good amount of spaces for me to 'play' with.  Here are photos to share with you all in how I have utilized my photographs as well as other art pieces as my home decorations.  

My famous "Chianti Photography" photo 

wall, display all of my most favorite pieces from around the world including Japan, Russia, Italy, France, Germany, India, Thailand, China etc.  I love framing my photographs in black frames with white boarders, as it creates a very professional and stylish look.  I also love the random layout on the wall, which allows more additional photos to be added on at later stage without looking too out of place. 

In addition to the photo wall, I have also used wall art for the first time.  I really like these black flowers from Ikea.  Not only does it fill up the empty space on my wall, the style is also very "ME" and matches very well with the black frames.  I'm very happy with the combinations.  

Inside the kitchen, I have used some food related themed photos, such as fresh fruits from the Parisian Sunday market, as decorations for the top of the cupboards.
