Each person is individual in his own way and this circumstance is visible at all stages of his life. It depends on what style the interior of his house or apartment will be decorated in.

If we analyze what a person’s house looks like, we can conclude about his preferences and about the way of life in general. Some people prefer the lush style and the abundant use of textiles, but another category of people are supporters of minimalism. All this can tell a lot about the owner of the real estate, but you can most accurately determine some of his character traits from the pictures. Each of them has a certain meaning, and therefore it is possible to determine exactly why certain works of art were acquired.

The paintings in the interior can tell a lot about its owner.

Coming to the market or to any specialized store you can see a huge assortment of a wide variety of paintings. It may seem that making such a purchase is not difficult, but in reality the situation is different. Not every such product can harmoniously fit into the interior and complement it with its presence. At the stage of choosing the canvas, you need to take into account many nuances, which in the end will make it possible to choose an instance that can give the aesthetic and logical completeness of housing.

The picture should be in harmony with the style of the interior.

It is important to understand that this element of decor is part of the interior and must fully comply with the chosen style. There is no need to ensure that the canvas expressively stands out against the background of furniture or other objects, since then it will look like a stain on a white wall.

What to look for?

At the stage of choosing paintings for your home, you need to consider that they all contain a certain message in themselves and can share their energy and, conversely, absorb it. Some canvases are distinguished by joyful plots and will bring this mood to the interior. Other analogues of them may induce certain actions, and some carry a sad mood. At the stage of buying a picture, you need to understand that it will not only hang in the place allocated for it, but also form a certain atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the room will depend on the choice of the painting.

It is advisable to take into account the specifics of the room and your own preferences. Even the fact in which room the picture will be placed is important. If the whole interior is decorated in classic style, then you need to give preference to paintings in gilded frames, which are made in a realistic style or in the framework of romanticism. When space is decorated in minimalism, it is advisable to use abstract and surrealistic paintings.

Plots with hunting scenes and dogs are suitable for English decor, but posters or collages from different photographs are perfectly combined with pop art. Next, we’ll talk about exactly which stories will be relevant for different rooms of a modern apartment or a country house.

Flour of choice

If you want to make your entrance more expressive, then with full responsibility go to the selection of paintings. First of all, all family members and guests get into this room and form an opinion about the whole house. It will not be superfluous to use a grisaille painting at the decoration stage.

You must choose such a work of art with utmost care. Make sure that the canvas is not excessively dark, as in the end a gloomy and sad mood will be formed, and the meaning may be lost in the dim lighting of this room. You do not need to choose contrasting or bright canvases, as they can eventually cause irritation. The picture should not contain hunting scenes, animals, hurricanes and other aggressive plots, as this may cause the cozy atmosphere to be destroyed.

It is strongly recommended not to place portraits of anyone within the rooms, since then an unpleasant effect of the constant presence of a person may appear. Many designers recommend using "nude" style paintings within the bedrooms. You can choose paintings with sunny landscapes and still lifes.

A sunny picture will create an atmosphere of warmth in the bedroom

The main thing is to use warm colors that are conducive to relaxation. The picture can be written in watercolor or gouache - this does not matter. You can choose a medium-sized picture and hang it in a prominent place, or you can use several of them, located on different sides of the room.

In the children's room, you can use bright canvases, but at the same time they must be restrained, since otherwise their presence will annoy the child. You can select images of some animals, plants or characters from your favorite cartoons.

It is also recommended to use products in the style of primitivism, which are somewhat similar to children's drawings. As a result, it will turn out to significantly emphasize the atmosphere of the room and make it extremely comfortable for a long stay. Whatever you choose, you need to make sure that the paintings in the nursery in their content carry only positive. Along the way, they can be informative, cheerful or kind. You can make a collage of your favorite baby pictures. Finding free space on the wall for such a composition is not difficult.

About paintings and posters

The walls in most cases are decorated with paintings and posters, which contributes to the effective filling of the void. As a result, you can make unique stylistic nuances that will catch the eye. If you want to choose a picture so that it really succinctly fits into the interior, then you need to immediately understand that treating this subject as something soulless is unacceptable. Art should always complement the whole picture of the perception of space, and also reflect the character traits and lifestyle of the property owner. No need to rush to purchase the canvas, if you really intend with it to improve the situation in your home for the better.

The picture can serve as a bright accent in the interior

Many people are faced with the fact that they cannot determine what is more important for them - the palette or the meaning. You need to look for such an instance so that it fits both parameters, however, even with a huge assortment of paintings, it is sometimes quite difficult to find the right option now. When the design of the room is made within the framework of a certain topic or has a characteristic style, you need to select a picture with the appropriate content. If the color scheme will not be perfect, but the theme will be similar, then this option can be taken safely.

The picture needs to be selected based on the style of the interior

For example, if the living room in your house is decorated in an African style, then the basic palette will be reduced to beige, brown and yellow. You can consider two paintings with a different plot. On the first, an autumn forest will be drawn, and on the other an African. The first option will exactly match the color scheme, but it will not fit into the style context. The second picture may not contradict the meaning, but colors can diverge significantly.

Professional designers always prefer to choose paintings that converge on the theme of the interior. You can not pay much attention to a slight discrepancy in the primary colors, since this will not be a big problem. If the canvas continues to catch the eye, then you can get rid of this effect using several thematic accessories. For example, if the picture contains blue tones, but they are not in the interior, then you can place a blue carpet or pillows of the same color on the sofa on the floor. Harmony will be fully respected in the end.

Textiles in a single color scheme with a picture

When the interior is decorated in an industrial or urban style, you can safely use posters with city landscapes. Even graffiti elements will look good. If you need to emphasize who is the mistress of the room, you can use the canvas with flowers.

Abstraction for the interior in a modern style

Japanese-style themed bedrooms can also be used. You always need to take into account exactly what meaning the picture carries and adhere to this rule at the stage of decoration of each room. It is important to understand that the picture does not set the whole atmosphere of the room in which it is located, but only supplements it.

If the house or apartment is large, then you can separately highlight the room in which there will be a large number of paintings. In this case, they will form the spirit of the room to the full. Otherwise, you can’t use a large number of them, since it will be very difficult to concentrate on the framework of one style.

It is also important to adhere to a specific atmosphere in each room. For example, within the nursery it is unacceptable to use canvases that carry a sad mood or an aggressive character. You can apply those options that are able to form a style and determine the theme of the interior. It is important to understand that in this case the palette will be of secondary importance.

The paintings will give the interior a finished look

If the style component is not pronounced in the interior, then you can choose the canvas, relying only on the color scheme. You can stick to the option that at the initial stage the room will be finished strictly in a neutral style, and only then its appearance will be determined by some elements of the interior, the same paintings.

You can dilute the presence of a vivid picture through the use of a number of additional items, and sometimes this solution may not be amiss. Most often, the interior is initially equipped, and only then paintings are selected so that they can harmoniously fit into the overall picture.

The color palette of the painting resonates with the interior

It is noteworthy that at the stage of choosing a picture by color, the plot will not lose its relevance. Sometimes you can resort to universal solutions, for example, the use of abstractions, portraits and other neutral paintings. When using just such paintings, you can safely rely solely on their palette.

About the choice of paintings by color

At the stage of selecting the canvas, one often has to think about whether it is necessary to achieve maximum harmony of the picture with the interior and about the importance of this circumstance. The first option, which is worth considering, is the very rare case when a picture merges with the interior in color, in plot, and in other parameters. It does not attract any attention to itself, therefore it is a kind of addition to the style of the room, however, it is worth using some foreign objects, as the situation will radically change.

Painting in one color scheme with the interior

In practice, it is rarely possible to find a canvas that would really ideally match the decor of the room in every sense of the word. Particular attention is not always required to this element, and then you can simply resort to the decision to use the canvas strictly as a kind of transitional link, that is, it will serve as a connecting element between different decor elements. It will not attract close attention, but it will cope with the basic function perfectly. Sometimes the plot of such a picture may not matter at all, but from an aesthetic point of view, it will be possible to fully achieve the goal.

A picture as a connecting element between different elements of decor

The second scheme is the most common and involves the use of a picture that would correspond to a holistic palette of the interior, but would stand out with a pair of bright colors. Using this solution will make it possible to quickly revitalize the decor and make it more expressive. If certain color accents are present within the framework of the canvas, then there is no need to resort to duplicating them within other accessories. When the picture will be knocked out of the general style, you can only use a few objects of a similar color, but do not abuse this technique.

Bright picture makes the decor more expressive

The third option involves using the picture as a diagram. It is noteworthy that in this case, you can use bright canvases that will stand out against the background of the interior and dominate it. Here you yourself will choose, pay attention to the plot or the stylistic and color scheme. In any case, the picture should complement the interior and not stand out strikingly. This element can focus on itself, but only partially provided that there are other elements that can serve for the same purpose.

The picture stands out against the background of the interior

If the picture will serve to focus on itself, then it should look spectacular and presentable, as it will constantly attract attention. At the stage of choosing such a product, it is worth paying considerable attention to color saturation, as well as to how well the canvas is executed by the artist.

About size selection

At the stage of choosing a picture for a room, you need to consider its size. An important role is played by the width of the picture and the object over which it will eventually be placed. When the picture is located directly above the bed, the width of this object should not be larger than the bed itself, because otherwise it will not look harmonious. Visually it will seem that the bed is small or the picture is disproportionately huge.

The choice of picture size depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room

The same principle should be taken into account for all paintings that will be placed over any objects within the interior. If your attention was attracted by a smaller picture, then you do not need to use it in the interior alone. Find more paintings that would complement the composition. Today, the assortment of paintings is simply huge, so solving this issue will turn out pretty quickly. If you use a series of several paintings, you can achieve an excellent result. They should not be at all the same size  or match the storyline. Collages from small works that are made in different color schemes look interesting.

Composition of several small paintings

If the house or apartment is small, then there is no need to use huge canvases. They will make the space visually even smaller. The cost of such things is great, but you will not get any benefit at all. As for the use of paintings in general at the stage of decoration, you should always take into account that even the work of middle-level artists is quite expensive and you will have to resort to considerable financial investments.

For small rooms, choose a picture of the appropriate size

If you approach the selection of a picture for a certain interior correctly, then in the end you can achieve just an excellent result in a short time. You do not need to select this item exclusively at a cost. The cheapest pictures are simply printed on special printers, and after a few years they begin to fade and lose their relevance, since they can no longer harmoniously complement the interior of the room.

When buying a painting, pay attention to the quality

Of no small importance is the frame in which the canvas is located. This element is inherent in each picture and can be completely different. Some prefer wooden frames, while others prefer metal. All of them can be of different colors and be decorated in different stylistic decisions. It will not be difficult to choose an option that is suitable specifically for your interior.

Choose the right frame for the picture is not difficult

If you want to achieve the best result without the help of professionals, then select a picture for your home after you create the interior in a pre-selected style. It so happens that the canvas may be liked at first glance, and you buy it, but then you can’t find a place to place it.

It is very important to choose the right place for the picture.

Color and plot are not the only criteria by which you can choose a place to place a picture. You must consider the size and type of frame used. In some places of the apartment, the picture may look out of place because of its size. Too small a picture will not attract proper attention and then you will have to use a composition from several similar works.

To summarize

At the decoration stage of each room, many factors must be taken into account. For example, in the children's room you do not need to use aggressive subjects, since this will not be appropriate. If you are fond of hunting, then you can post similar pictures in your office.

In the bedroom, the picture should emphasize the cozy atmosphere and complement the interior, so it is recommended to choose neutral subjects. If you take into account all the nuances of choosing such accessories, which were mentioned earlier, then you can easily achieve the desired result.

For the bedroom, pictures with a calm neutral plot are suitable

It is not necessary to resort to the help of a qualified designer, since in general there is nothing complicated in choosing a picture for the formed interior. The main thing is to clearly understand what needs to be emphasized, and where it will be superfluous. If you do not rush and do not save, then you will be satisfied with the result. Use in your house only high-quality canvases that can really focus on yourself and at the same time not annoy your presence. Not always the canvas that you liked right away may be the best solution for the home. Sales consultants will help you choose a picture, but first of all you need to listen to your own preferences, because you have to live in your own house. We hope that now you can buy correctly and without difficulties beautiful picture  home, and place her in a suitable place.
