Do you have a place for a picture in your apartment? Undoubtedly! 6 good examples

The perception of the picture and its decorative power is largely determined by where and how it is located. For an unfortunate place can nullify it, making it invisible, inexpressive and devoid of any decorative value "detail". What, as you understand, cannot be allowed! You didn't just spend money on it.

Good afternoon dear friends!

So do not hang a picture on the first wall that comes across. Treat the process of finding “the very place” that will best emphasize all the advantages of an expensive work of art, thoughtfully.

Be prepared that sometimes, in order to find the perfect surface for it, you will have to take a lot of measurements with a tape measure, “try on” a special paper dummy on the wall, and even move furniture. But after such careful preparation, you will 100% find a good place for a picture in your apartment.

And to help you in this difficult event, I have prepared 6 illustrative examples of how and where you can place a picture in the interior, for example, the living room.

1.Above the sofa. Placing pictures above the sofa is a classic way to decorate a living room. And not in vain! After all, it is here that works of art are in the most conspicuous place. But even here there are subtleties. First, the dimensions of the canvas should be proportional to the sofa. Secondly, it is important to choose a harmonious combination of upholstered furniture and artwork according to the color scheme. Thirdly, the picture should not be too high or low (the ideal distance is 25-30 centimeters above the back of the sofa).

In addition, if you want to make a work of art really the most important decorative "detail" of the interior, then you should install a couple of lamps on the wall. They will bring the picture to the fore.

2.On an accent wall. There is an opinion that works of art should be placed exclusively on a light background. And this is a big misconception! Since in fact, the darker the surface, the brighter the picture stands out on it. Therefore, you can safely hang the canvas on an accent wall painted in medium and dark tones.

At the same time, keep in mind that in this case it is better to frame the image (especially in dark colors) with a light frame or baguette.

3.In the middle of a niche Don't have a free wall? No problem! The picture can also be hung in a furniture niche or placed between two tall cabinets / shelves. With this approach, the furniture will act as a kind of frame for a work of art.

No niches and large gaps between furniture? Not a problem either! Put the picture on a free shelf in your home library or furniture wall. In this case, it can be easily swapped or replaced with new copies of your collection.

4.Across from the window. Any picture will become much more noticeable if it is placed in a well-lit place, for example, in front of a window. So the work of art will acquire greater clarity, depth and color. But in this case, it is desirable to choose a canvas in size and shape similar to a window opening.

Then you will make the picture not only a highlight of the interior, but also a decorative element that will balance and balance the atmosphere in the room.

5.Inside moldings. Are your walls decorated with moldings? Perfectly! You should not consider them as some kind of obstacle that can interfere with the placement of the picture in the interior. Canvases can be placed both inside the moldings, which form a kind of second frame, and directly on top of this decorative detail.

By the way, in the second case, the shape of the picture may differ from the configuration of the wall decor, you can easily afford such negligence in modern interiors.

6.On the floor. Well, the last option, which is the place to be! At the same time, small and medium paintings on the floor, of course, should not be placed. But large formats can be put at the bottom. Just keep in mind that one canvas is best placed in a conspicuous place. But if there are several works, then different options are possible. For example, a combination of wall and floor arrangement, when paintings of one style are at the top, and the other is at the bottom.

Of course, the picture on the floor may not be as noticeable as on the wall. But this technique allows you to create a second decorative layer in your interior, which will not be noticeable immediately, but after a long stay in the room. I would call it a visual surprise.
