How to properly use paintings in the interior 
Automatic translate
The painting is a wonderful addition to any interior. Today, it is rare that anyone does not decorate their interior with a painting, panel or photographs hanging on the wall. Looking at them, you can see a small life or a moment of it, which is limited by the frames of a baguette. But it is important to choose and buy paintings wisely in order to use them harmoniously in the interior, so that your home does not become a museum instead of a cozy nest. Here are simple secrets of using these items in the interior of your home that will help you avoid mistakes.
Where is the most profitable and correct place to hang images so that the room is transformed and sparkles with new colors? So, let’s look at a few rules.
1. The eye level principle is to place the picture at the eye level of average human height, that is, at a height of about one and a half meters. This is where the heart of the picture should be, which will allow you to better see the canvas. By the way, museums place paintings at a height of 152 cm.
2. The layout of the canvases above the sofa, which is a rational place even for a masterpiece. The secret is to attract interest when entering a room without distracting from the main decor. To do this, you should choose one large painting, about three medium-sized ones, or several small ones.
On the Internet you can familiarize yourself with ready-made diagrams, taking into account the combination of sizes and shapes of frames with the general relationships between the room and the furniture. It is recommended to focus on one picture that matches the size of the sofa or combine small and medium-sized posters with larger ones to adequately fill the space.
Speaking of symmetry, it is worth saying that this environment is pleasing to the human eye. The same cannot be said about monotony. Therefore, be determined to move the paintings in different directions.
3. If there are more than four paintings in your house, and there is not enough space above the sofa, why don’t you decorate the wall, like in a gallery, while going beyond any rules? Through this technique, used in art galleries, you will have the opportunity to display the richness of your masterpieces, adding color and sensuality to your interior.
First of all, find a suitable place in the form of an unoccupied wall with good lighting. For this purpose, you can use the wall in the corridor. Don’t forget about the lighting. In order to combine two zones, use the corner, which will draw attention to the collection. It is better to place the gallery in a room with furniture that is your pride. As for the frames of the paintings, there is no need at all to place the canvases in the same frames, but they should still have something in common. This applies to color scheme, dimensions, type, texture.
4. Direct connection of paintings with personality type. The presence of canvases and other masterpieces in the interior of your home is a direct appeal to the whole world, proving your existence as a connoisseur of beauty. For this purpose, you can use children’s drawings or photos from your travels, photographs of different surroundings or other paintings. There is no doubt that different people resort to all sorts of methods for forming and distributing picture ensembles.
5. Qualitative-quantitative ratio. Speaking of quantity, it should be noted that this directly depends on your aesthetic taste and the realities of your home. The main thing to remember is that you should not overload the contemplator with information, so you need to leave some free space.
In a room oversaturated with paintings, guests will feel uncomfortable. And I don’t want to look at all this diversity.
