Paintings in the interior

Once upon a time, paintings were luxury, and only wealthy people could afford to make a home with them. Today, everyone can add pictures to the interior of his house, regardless of the level of income. And if a couple of centuries ago, paintings in the interior were used to show their wealth, today, with the help of paintings, a beautiful and unique design is created. For several years now, abstract paintings have been very popular - their advantage is that they do not have a plot, which means that such a picture can be in any room. Also, abstraction will serve as a bright accent and saturate it with energy. Let us consider in more detail the variations in the use of such panels in the design of different rooms.

In the kitchen

The main thing that you need to remember when choosing a picture for the kitchen is that it should not be a museum exhibit or have any historical value. In the kitchen you will cook, fry and steam, which is why the picture just goes bad. It is worth giving preference to simple and uncomplicated images:

• A black and white picture or poster can serve as a picture, especially if the photo could fit in a cardboard frame. If your kitchen is dominated by cold brown, gray and metallic tones, then a black and white picture can add a touch of chic decor.
• In a kitchen where beige, cream and blue shades prevail, a picture in yellow will look good - it can be either geometric images, or a landscape or a picture of flowers.
• In the kitchen in the style of Minimalism, you will definitely have just about any bright picture - orange, red, yellow or green. Bright paintings made in white will look especially good.
• If you have a small kitchen with low ceilings, it is better to choose vertical options for paintings. They will be able to visually add to the room "growth".
• If you have several bright accents in your kitchen, for example, a pillow for a scarlet chair or a chandelier with an orange-green ceiling, you can pick up a picture to match the bright design. For example, the image of a bouquet of poppies is suitable for scarlet pillows.

Important! If you chose a painting painted in watercolor, it is advisable to place it under glass and not hang on the walls that are on the sunny side.

How to use the paintings in the interior of this room:

2. A sense of rigor will be made by paintings hung in strict symmetry. If they are also the same size, then the room will seem like a business office.
3. If you choose one large or several large images, then try to arrange them asymmetrically and at a sufficiently large distance from each other so that each of them is perceived separately.
4. For a living room of a minimalist style, images of trees, city landscapes or flowers are appropriate. Also, abstraction fits perfectly into this style.
5. The modern solution to the interior design of the living room is the use of modular paintings, which include several segments that are connected by one idea, but are divided into several parts.

Important! Also, paintings in the living room interior can structure it:

• If you hang one canvas in the center of the room, then it will emphasize the symmetry of the room.
• And if you place a large picture on an empty wall - it will create a sense of integrity.
