Unusal concepts in interior design: decorating with famous, inspirational quotes
If you are interested in purchasing wall decor or artwork for your classroom, corporate office, or place of business, why not consider displaying inspirational or motivational quotations from great leaders, philosophers, inventors or authors?
Displaying inspirational quotes is an ideal way to encourage students, employees, team members or patients to strive to reach their personal goals, and stimulate a group of people towards a cohesive purpose.
Today, many managers of small businesses, presidents of corporations, principals of schools, directors of hospitals, community centers and various non profit organizations have made a point of publicly displaying famous inspirational quotations as a part of their work-place decor.
Traditionally, famous quotations were primarily featured on posters, framed prints or other styles of hanging decor. Today, however, famous quotations can be ordered in the form of stencils, adhesives, or other materials that can be applied or transferred directly to walls, glass, mirrors, woodwork, or even furniture.
Among the most popular motivational quotations and wall words being incorporated into architectural decor and interior design are Benjamin Franklin’s words of wisdom. Benjamin Franklin, celebrated for his intellectualism, work ethic, inventions and political contributions has made his way into the decor scheme for public libraries, government buildings, technology centers, innovative small business headquarters, schools and university campuses.
For example, the hallway walls of several academic buildings of the University of Chicago have been emblazoned with large-scale script boasting Benjamin Franklin’s words of wisdom.
The most popular wall decor selections from Benjamin Franklin’s words of wisdom include:
