DIY A Photo Backdrop For Furniture Staging.

In our hunt for great shots of our fabulous spring like colour, Gatineau, we wanted an easy and budget-friendly backdrop that’s as charming as our furniture pieces. We’re always on the lookout for cute ways to photograph our furniture painted in our gorgeous colours, and what could be more perfect than a flower-covered wall? It’s all about keeping it simple, sweet and inexpensive.

Storage Bench:

• Choose a sturdy storage bench with ample space to store props and accessories.
• Sandpaper
• Bonding Agent (optional)
• TSP Alternative
• Homestead House Gatineau Milk Paint
• Paintbrush

Floral Wall:

• Faux flowers (we chose lots of pinks, pale yellow and white)
• Twine
• Scissors or utility knife

Prepare and Paint the Storage Bench

Start by preparing the storage bench for its transformation. If the bench has a glossy finish, lightly sand the surface to create a better bonding surface for the paint. Clean with TSP Alternative to remove any dirt and grime.

Next, dive into the world of colour with Homestead House Gatineau. This inviting shade adds a touch of brightness to your space. Mix the milk paint powder with a 1:1 ratio of water and stir until all of the pigments have dissolved. Next, using your favourite paintbrush (we recommend a Staalmeester!) paint 1-2 coats until you’re happy with the coverage.

Feel free to experiment with distressing techniques for a vintage look or add a protective topcoat for durability. The key is to let your creative instincts guide you through the process.

Embrace Floral Elegance

Now, let’s turn our attention to our DIY A Photo Backdrop For Furniture Staging. A floral wall introduces a touch of femininity and timeless beauty. For a unique twist on the classic floral backdrop, let’s create a stunning display using fake flowers hung with vertical twine. This method not only adds a touch of whimsy but also ensures a long-lasting and maintenance-free floral arrangement.

1. Create the Vertical Twine Framework:
   Begin by measuring the dimensions of your backdrop area, determining the height and width you want to cover with the floral arrangement. Cut pieces of vertical twine according to the measured height, ensuring they are evenly spaced across the width of the backdrop. Secure each piece at the top and bottom of the backdrop, creating a framework for the flowers.
2. Attach Fake Flowers:
   Use small lengths of twine to tie individual flowers onto the vertical twine, ensuring they hang at various lengths for a natural and dynamic appearance. Feel free to mix different colours for added depth and visual interest. Continue attaching flowers until the entire framework is filled, making sure to step back periodically to assess the overall balance and adjust as needed.

By using vertical twine and fake flowers, you not only create a stunning pink floral backdrop but also ensure durability and longevity. This unique approach adds a touch of creativity and charm to your DIY photo backdrop, making it a standout feature in any space. Now, your photo corner is not only visually enchanting but also low-maintenance, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of florals without the worry of wilting.

Combine Creativity with Aesthetics

Bring your storage bench into the spotlight by placing it strategically against the pink floral backdrop. The Homestead House Gatineau complements the floral elements, creating a cohesive and visually pleasing ensemble.

Accessorize the bench with throws, or more florals. This not only adds comfort but also enhances the overall appeal. Now, you have a multifunctional photo backdrop that doubles as a storage solution—a win-win scenario.
