A gift idea for your wife - make her happy with your chalet decor!

Written by Thomas Crauwels
Gift idea for your wife

You have just bought a magnificent chalet in the mountains or your wife has decided to redecorate the one you have owned for several years?

It's time to make her happy by offering her a unique and personal gift.

Here is an ideal gift idea that will enhance the decor of your cottage and make your wife's heart fall in love.

A photo to personalize the decoration of your cottage

A photo is a work of art.

Like any work of art, it is admired and shared, but above all it is interpreted and lived.

It evokes an emotion, a personal feeling to each of us. It is ideal to personalize an interior with an emotional touch.

The photo, a personal object

A photo, even if it is not a family photo or a personal memory, we choose it for what it represents, what it evokes.

It's not like giving a lamp or any other object found in a decorating store and likely to blend in with the decor.

By choosing to offer your wife a photo for the interior decoration of your cottage, you decide to offer her an emotion.

Sharing a photo is sharing a bit of your own personality.

It is to invite the other to share, to converse around an object of art that challenges.

So, finding THE picture that will thrill your wife as much as you do is a challenge you should not hesitate to take on for the next gift to your wife.

A unique gift to personalize your home

There are those photos, which we have already seen a hundred times, at friends' homes, in a doctor's waiting room, sometimes even in advertisements, and there are those that are distributed only in a few copies, to offer their beauty only to a privileged few. 

How better to show your wife the importance she has in your life and the privilege you feel to be with her, than with an almost exclusive photo? 

To approach a professional photographer to choose the photo that will translate your feeling is for sure the best way to find the rare pearl.

You'll find that one photo that will remind your wife every day how much you love her.

A custom-made room for your wife 

You have found THE picture, you have no doubt, it will make your wife's heart fall in love at first sight.

All you have to do is choose the options at print to make it unique and... perfect.

A print of quality according to its requirements

Your wife chooses each element of your cottage's decoration with taste.

She places great importance on the quality of each piece she displays in your home.

To meet its requirements, choose a frame photo whose dimensions are ideally suited to the location on which it will be installed. 

It will thus be perfectly highlighted and will bring an added value to its decoration.

By going through a professional photographer, you can be sure that your photo will be printed on a quality medium using the best technologies.

This way you choose a lasting gift.

A frame adapted to his tastes and to your decoration

Framing is the final touch to your gift.

This is what will make the photo you have chosen a unique piece perfectly integrated into the universe created with taste by your wife.

Without a frame, it will be of the most beautiful effect, whatever the room in which you think of installing it, by bringing a modern touch.

With a frame, you will have to choose a material, a thickness, a color to highlight the image depending on where you want to install it.

A frame in metal in a rather contemporary chalet decoration. A frame in raw wood to fit perfectly in a traditional chalet.

Whatever the occasion you want to give your wife a unique gift, a well-chosen frame photo will be perfect.

This element of interior decoration, chosen according to its tastes and requirements, will also be an act of sharing.

You will touch her heart and she will think about it every time she admires the picture you have chosen specifically for her.

mountain chalets Works of art as a family heirloom

In the heart of the Alps, an old chalet lies huddled against the mountainside like a hibernating bear. Inside, the golden light of the fireplace dances over woodwork weathered by the decades. On the walls, old paintings and sepia photographs silently whisper the story of a lineage. Each piece is more than a decoration - it's a fragment of soul handed down from hand to hand through the ages. Portraits of ancestors watch over the young children who play at their feet, while a watercolor of snow-covered summits bears witness to the alpine conquests of another ...
