It is not enough just to choose the right picture, which will correctly fit into the interior and create a harmonious atmosphere. You can choose an excellent composition but be mistaken for its place in the house that plays a very important role. Many features affect the view of the painting and TrendGallery is ready to tell you about all the details of putting the paintings on an empty wall.

Pay attention to the lighting

Of course, the painting should be well illuminated. Open the curtains and allow daylight. Consider that the sun's rays shouldn't fall directly on the picture because the light will blind people and it will be difficult to see it. Therefore, you should put the painting in a light place but slightly to the side of the direct sun. In the evening, when the sun sets over the horizon, switch on the lamps. You should put a few nightlights around the painting. It creates the feeling of a precious composition. Besides, you can use neon ribbons or garlands to illuminate the painting.

Put the painting at a certain height

Before hanging the painting, you should define the height of it. It is very important for creating a harmonious composition. You should not place objects too high, otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to look at them. Stand in front of the place where the painting will eventually be hanged. Mark the level where your sight rushes without raising or lowering your head. This is a good place to put your piece of art. You should also pay attention to the sizes of the room and the sizes of the painting. The larger your room, the bigger should be painting. Don’t put a large picture in the room with a low ceiling because it takes up space and the room looks smaller. It is also a bad idea to put a small painting in the huge room because no one will consider it.

The frame of the painting is also an important detail

Of course, the frame sets the tone of the painting, completes the composition and its color gives a sense of style. The width of the frame plays a very important role, although few people notice it. If you want to save spaciousness and make the painting bigger, more expressive, and brighter, you should make thin frames. It is especially great if the frame is colored and highlights the decor item. If you want to make the picture smaller, then choose thick frames. You also shouldn't choose them in bright colors, pay attention to neutral colors like beige, white, black. If you use frames in gold and silver, they will add style and the picture will look more expensive. By the way, thick frames fit perfectly for small rooms.

Create a collage

Of course, it is simpler to decorate the house with one painting but designers advise us to use more interesting ways of furnishing. You can use 2-3 paintings in the same sizes and they will look harmonious. But it is much more interesting to create a collage of a few paintings that are in different sizes. Be sure, your guests will be impressed and you will like to consider this composition every minute. To not make a mistake, you should open Pinterest and see different ideas of collages. When you see a lot of ideas and decide what kind of composition you want to create, you need to pay attention to the next point. Symmetry plays the most important role when creating a collage. You can choose any symmetry of painting placing. For example, spiral, line, circle, and others. The painting may be in the same sizes or different, it makes no sense. The borders of the collage should be clear, then the composition will look thoughtful. By the way, all the paintings must combine with their colors. It is desirable to make simple frames in white, black, gold, or silver. Of course, you may use colorful frames but they also should combine. Pay attention to the Itten’s color wheel. The color opposite is the best when combined. In order, not to guess how things will look together, first make a layout on the floor. Try to move, swap the painting, in other words, experiment. Don’t forget to measure the distance between objects to successfully transfer everything to the wall. For a more harmonious painting composition, you should choose the largest image as the centerpiece. Put it to the side or center of the group. Place a few smaller paintings around. To balance the composition, use frames of the same thickness. The painting in an unusual shape, for example, round, may serve as an interesting accent. Put it in the center or place above other paintings. An excellent idea is to decorate the wall along the stairs. The easiest way is to place several paintings of different sizes parallel to the floor line. However, there is a chance that one of the bottom corners of the composition will remain empty. To avoid this problem, start hanging from the top point - slightly lowering each next painting.

Make the painting the center of the room

Many designers advise us to make the painting the center of the room. It means to choose the right painting, firstly. Then you should define the center of the wall by measuring. You can call specially trained designers who will help you determine the center correctly or do it yourself. Then place your wonderful painting. After the painting has become the center of your room, you need to define the rest of the design, which will combine. Many people make a fireplace under the painting, which adds coziness. You also can make a dressing table next to the painting. It will create a harmonious look. One of the most popular ideas is putting a sofa over which the painting will hang. Near the picture, you may put some lights. One of the best ideas is putting the painting in the bedroom and choosing a bed, carpet, chest of drawers, which fits perfectly to the painting style. If you decide to hand several compositions in the hallway, pay attention to the double frames. It makes a painting look more interesting.

As you can see, it is not difficult to create a harmonious composition. It is enough to know some rules and you can create. Choose the best paintings at the TrendGallery store!
