Today, when the walls of many residential premises are hung with posters and plasma panels, the relevance of the picture decorating the interior is not getting smaller.
For many years, works of art in the form of paintings have been the main component of the interior of an apartment or house. And today, when the walls of many residential premises are hung with posters and plasma panels, the relevance of the picture decorating the interior does not become less. On the contrary, good work can “revive” the design of the room, make it more aesthetic and harmonious. People are used to surrounding themselves with pleasant things, which is why paintings were an integral attribute of living quarters at all times. Good work, being a work of art, carries a certain semantic load. In order not to violate the aesthetics of interior design, it is important not only to choose the storyline correctly, but also to correctly position it.
The picture decorating the wall can be not only an expensive original work of art, but also all kinds of reproductions that depict a beautiful urban landscape. It is important to consider the interests and tastes of the landlord. Some people like images of nature, while others relax, contemplating the masterpieces of portraiture.
When placing a picture in a room, it is necessary to take into account its geometric properties. So, for example, if it has a large height and an elongated shape, then next to it on the same wall should not be placed pieces of furniture of similar shapes. It is better to place an elegant sofa or a carved dresser along the wall, but, which is also important, the furniture should not be “heavy”. Alternatively, you can put a picture of this shape on the wall, framed by light curtains that smoothly fall along the wall parallel to it. But with this arrangement, it is important to choose the right color scheme. If the picture shows seascape with waves rising in the blue heights, the pale green or blue background of the wall on which this picture is located will “absorb” the storyline, which obviously will not bring aesthetic pleasure.
A large picture of any shape must be placed in free space, otherwise it will dominate, and other objects located nearby will be lost on its background. Also, a small picture on a completely empty wall can be “lost." Sometimes in such cases a decision is made to place several works on one wall, but this is initially a wrong decision. It’s much more logical to place a small bookcase next to a small picture or plant a pot with an exotic tree or, finally, put a coffee table with chairs or a children’s chaise lounge. Then it will not be visually lost and harmoniously fit into the interior.
Sometimes they try to give the paintings an angle of inclination or place them diagonally, referring to the abstract sense of taste. Of course, they don’t argue about tastes. But according to the existing rules for the placement of a graphic composition, which take into account tectonics, rhythm, symmetry, this arrangement is far from ideal and, in principle, violates any harmony of design. In order to achieve an excellent composition of several paintings, it is necessary to observe some rules. One of the most important rules is that several works of similar size can be placed in a row or in different places, but always at an equal distance from each other and strictly symmetrical. But pictures of different sizes can be arranged in tiers, but just not observing the sequence of "ascending" or "descending", this decision contradicts any design canons. In this case, it is quite possible to place pictures of small sizes around one large one. Such compositions look great in rooms with high ceilings. Also, simply large-scale artworks must be placed on the walls of spacious rooms, rather than cramped rooms. This is done so that you can move a distance of two to three meters from the picture and truly enjoy the composition and the play of color of the work.
An important role in the proper placement of paintings is played by the background on which they are placed. The most ideal color option for the wall is a plain pastel background or just a white wall. Against such a background, works of any size in any location will look great. If the wall is replete with patterns, or silk-screen printing emits glare, then it is very difficult to visually examine the work of art located on such a wall. It is hard to get aesthetic pleasure from such contemplation. Of course, it is necessary to observe the contrast component of the composition. But if you still decide to put pictures similar in color to a wall of a similar color, then try using a frame to achieve visual contrast. In this case, the frame should have a color that will be the opposite of the color of the background or picture in its spectrum. In this case, color harmony will be achieved. Children’s rooms are usually decorated with works of more delicate shades and often made with oil. oil painting to your taste, you can in the same stores where you can buy children’s sun loungers, furniture and other elements of the interiors of children’s rooms.
Any apartment, correctly decorated with paintings, will not only look elegant and noble, but it will be inspired by that piece of creativity that is inherent in this work of art. Properly executed interior design with the use of paintings will delight not only visually, but also deliver a real aesthetic pleasure.
