Disagreeing Couples Find Common Ground 
When Choosing Photography for Their Walls 
   

The honeymoon is over. It is time to merge more than just your love for each other, but your decorating sense as well. For most couples, deciding on furnishings and treatments for your new home together can be the bigger strain on your new life together than the in-laws coming and staying for a week. 

Men often like the clean modern look, while women trend towards more traditional or romantic looks. He wants big, she wants delicate. The accessories she picks make her feel at home while he sees them as clutter. But no matter what their decorating differences are, couples can agree that the living space they desire will reflect who they are, and serve as the "cocoon" in which the surround themselves in and call home.

Couples can reach a compromise when choosing art for their home by going to photography as their medium of choice. Photography is an intimate art. The captured scenes of real life allow buyers to make an emotional bond; a very important aspect of the art buying process.

Choosing photography for wall art allows shoppers to choose from a variety of styles and themes. Often common décor themes such as traditional, romantic, modern, and country are unified in a photograph. A popular trend seen in hanging photography involves creating a series or grouping of photographs. These series contain a mix of different themes. She can pick a traditional print or two and he can choose a few more modern images. When hung together they compliment each other perfectly; just like the couple who chose them.

When choosing the perfect prints, couples can sometimes disagree. She loves the vitality in color prints. He seeks the mood offered by black and white. No need to argue. Surrounding color prints with black and white images is a great way to blend his and hers and create a unique look.

Another key area for couple to compromise when picking out wall art is with framing options. If he wants modern art, but her ideal living room takes on a more romantic feel they can settle their differences in the frames they chose. She can pick romantic prints which will suit her decor. Black and white photography framed in a simple black wood frame gives the clean look he desires in a modern look.

Couples shouldn't be afraid to combine their individual preferences. Their unique styles blended together will create a "cocoon" they will both want to retreat to together.
