Photography And Interior Design: The Marriage Of Two Creative Endeavours

By Cindy Hess


Photography and interior design go hand in hand nowadays. As photography is now considered an art, it's slowly making its way into homes, alongside paintings. The truth is, in most modern homes, photos has already replaced the traditional paintings on the walls. A contemporary interior designer would usually gravitate towards the use of photos, as compared to paintings. Then again, it still relies on the preference of the customer.

The use of photography is pretty popular in Malaysia interior design. As most of Malaysian homes and condos are fairly small and spaces are scarce, pictures can add that air of design for residence and condo interior design. In Interior Design Malaysia, photos can even add depth and the illusion of added space.

Picture a bare and empty white wall. It's just plain nothingness. Picture if the interior designer would add a huge portrait of a white marble hallway? Can you envision the difference? Photos with contrasting colours can break dull lines. For example, adding artful photos of a toy store in a child's room or if you wish to make the an illusion of a higher ceiling for your bedroom request a picture of a spiral stairs taken from the bottom up.

One reason why photos are trending in interior design is that it can be comparatively simple to personalise. Even though some might argue that paintings can be personalised too, paintings are way much expensive than photos. In addition, there are various ways of how photos can actually improve the interiors of residential spaces.

If you consider photography is merely used as home accessories in interior design, you're wrong. In reality, photography is the main media applied to advertise this business. With no photography, the details of a designer's work won't be captured and marketed to the target market. Thus, it's safe to say that without the fine art of photography, the accomplishment of interior design business enterprise is hardly sought.
