Where to hang art? How to decorate?

Let’s take a look at simple ways to decorate each room.

Living room

If you want to hang a painting in your living room, choose a painting that matches your interior design style, such as natural, modern, or vintage.

A painting with an atmosphere where you can talk lively with family and friends, would be a good choice.

The living room is a space that looks great with large artwork on the walls.
If you are placing a painting above furniture, choose a painting that matches the size of the furniture.

A good place to display art is on a sofa, cabinet or shelf in the living room.
It is best to hang the painting on the wall above main furniture in the interior, to create a good balance.

Placing the painting in a framed stand above the furniture is also a good way to make an accent for the space.

I suggest that you display the painting at the eye level at which you normally view it.
Hang it at eye level when you are standing and where you can easily see it when you sit on a sofa.

There are no specific rules to decorate paintings. It is good to frame the painting to give it a more expressive look. And it is also good to hang a canvas painting with no frame on the wall with an S-shaped hook with a string.

Try different ways of decorating and find the one that brings out the best of the painting.

Home entrance

Home entrance is the face of the house. It is best to choose a bright or calm image.
The entrance is also a perfect place to hang a small painting.

Choose a motif that catches the eye when you open the door and walk in, and hang it on the wall next to a door.

It is also a nice balance to hang a medium size artwork on the wall at eye level, which is visible when you walk in through the front door.

Dining room

A painting in the dining room, where you can enjoy lively conversation with family and friends, will make the dining area a bright space.

Please try to choose a favorite painting that suits your dining room.

Bedroom

The bedroom should be a place where you can relax and get a good night’s sleep.
Decorate it with paintings in relaxing colors and calm designs so that you can get a good night’s rest.

If you are keeping the colors of your bedroom interior consistent, you may want to choose a painting with an accent color.

Decorate it in a place that catches your eye when you walk in your bedroom or where you can look at it while resting on your bed.

You can also hang it on the wall above the bed, shelves, drawers, or other furniture.
If you illuminate the painting with a light, use indirect lighting to adjust the light so that it does not hit your eyes too strongly.

Enjoy a peaceful time with your favorite paintings.

Study (desk)

It is important to create a space in the study where you can concentrate on writing or reading.
I suggest that you decorate the study should be decorated arts that are refreshing to look at when you need a change of pace.

If the painting is too eccentric, it will be difficult to concentrate, so choose a painting with a design that blends in with the space.

Hang the painting on a bookshelf or a wall with a desk, or frame it in a stand and place it on the desk.
