Paintings in the interior: space management features

Today, the presence of paintings in residential premises is a testament to the fact that their owner has a sense of taste and is an adherent of the classical methods of home decoration. For many centuries this decor has not lost its relevance, which means that it will never go out of fashion, especially since there are a huge number of options for any style and interior on the market today.

Species and varieties

Of course, only the richest influential people of our country can afford to buy a painting painted by a famous medieval artist, but every average person can hang a reproduction on the wall. You can also choose options with animation, abstraction, and photography. Depending on the form, all canvases can be divided into several groups:

Whole. They differ from each other in most cases only in size. The geometric shape here is not diverse - the paintings are usually either rectangular or square.
Modular. They appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, but have already managed to seek popular love. Their main feature is that the whole image in them is divided into several parts. Such options are used almost everywhere: in offices, restaurants and bars, cinemas and even shops.
Posters At the mention of this word in many minds will come up memories of paper posters with images of stars of domestic and foreign pop. In fact, on the surface of the posters, manufacturers can apply any pattern from a map of the starry sky to a sleeping hamster. If such masterpieces are applied to thick photo paper, it is quite possible for them to find application in an apartment or a country house. Some models are not inferior in price to expensive elite paintings. The main distinguishing feature is the absence of a frame, i.e. frames.

Classification by genre

What would you like to see on your wall? There are a lot of options, but we will group them by style and direction:

Pictures of cities. As you may have guessed, these canvases depict images of large cities with millions of lights and small resort towns with complex, but very interesting architecture. Recently, monochrome has been popular - urban streets at night.
Abstraction. Differ in non-traditional solutions and non-trivial images. For such paintings you need a special room in which the design will be combined with unusual prints. In this case, this decor can act as a highlight of the interior, as well as its stylish complement.
Landscapes are a real classic, loved by everyone for the positive charge of emotions that they give people. Lovely birches to the Russian heart, a small pond with thickets of water lilies, lifeless deserts and sandy beaches with palm trees - all this cheers up and creates an atmosphere of calm and tranquility at home. Chinese-style landscapes are especially popular today. You can also get the work of the Impressionists and Surrealists.
Still lifes. Surely, you have already looked at the kitchen with a small picture depicting a fruit vase or a cup of coffee with fresh pastries. Such masterpieces evoke appetite and harmoniously fit into the interior of the dining area.
Battles and wars. They are often acquired by museum style fans. Such options are only good when placed correctly, for example, in an office or home library.
Portraits. Their choice should be treated with caution, since the eyes of the person depicted on the canvas can set the mood for households. When considering the canvas, people will certainly pay attention to the look, therefore, it should bear only positiveness and kindness.
Unusual prints and drawings. Sometimes I really want bright spots in the design, so apartment owners often buy paintings with a pronounced expressive color. Looks good in art deco style or stylized photos.

Colors

Here we will not talk about the popular tones of this season, but consider another classification of paintings:

Monochrome - black and white canvases depicting people, cities, stones, mountains, etc.
Monochrome with an accent. They are the same black and white paintings, but with one bright accent of red or another flashy tone. They are used to effectively complement a modest and discreet interior.
Color paintings. It all depends on individual preferences and the environment. The canvas can serve as a continuation of the selected color palette or accent, distracting attention to the main part of the room.

Whichever option you choose, remember one thing: the canvas should blend harmoniously into your interior. A pronounced imbalance in the design or inappropriate prints will cause the room to lose comfort and not want to be in it for a long time. We are sure that among all the diversity you will find exactly what perfectly emphasizes the beauty of the home and your inner world.
