1. Tips for stylishly displaying paintings as interior decoration
When displaying a painting, the first thing to think about is where and how you want it to be displayed.
For example, in the living room where the whole family gathers, you want to display a picture that will make everyone feel cheerful in a prominent place! Such,,,
Think about the size of the room, the number of paintings, where they will be viewed from, and what kind of impression you want to give to the viewer before you decorate them.
Here, we will introduce three points to keep in mind when hanging pictures on your walls.
① Pay attention to "height"
The first thing to keep in mind when displaying paintings on a pure white wall is the height .
Be aware of people's eye level. Considering the average height of Japanese people, it is said that the most eye-level person is 140cm to 150cm . In fact, works are often displayed at this height in museums. If you display the center of the picture at this height from the floor , your room may look like a museum!
②Determine the aspect ratio
Have you decided which wall to display the painting on? Also, pay attention to the aspect ratio of the wall .
If the wall you are trying to display a painting on is vertically long, use a vertically long painting, and if the wall is horizontally long, use a horizontally long painting.
Just by aligning the length and width, it will look much more balanced.
③ Consider size balance
When displaying a painting as an interior decoration, you should always consider the "size balance" with the surrounding furniture. It is said that it is easier to maintain balance if the width of the picture is about 70% of the furniture . You can boldly display one large painting, or arrange multiple smaller paintings with matching colors and atmosphere to create an exhibition-like display.
2. Deciding on the layout and taste of the painting
So far, we have introduced the points to keep in mind when hanging pictures on the wall.
A picture can be said to be an interior that can change its impression considerably by just changing the way it is decorated.
Do you want to hang your favorite picture on the wall? Will you display it on top of furniture such as a desk or bookshelf? Should I be bold and put it on the floor? ? etc,,,
Above, we introduced how pictures look beautiful when placed on a wall, but walls are not the only place to display pictures.
Let's think about a layout that suits your image.
Of course, placement is not the only thing you need to think about when displaying paintings in a cool manner.
It is very important to choose a painting that matches your taste in your room .
Next, we will introduce three tips for finding paintings that match the taste of your room.
① Match the colors
Let's focus on the "color" of the surrounding furniture, walls, and floors in the area where you want to display the picture . Just by choosing a picture that has the same color tone as those, you can create a sense of unity.
② Consider the purpose of the room to be decorated.
For example, choose a large, eye-catching picture for the largest living room.
・For the bedroom, choose a picture with a gentle atmosphere that calms the mind.
・Choose small pictures for the kitchen and bathroom that can be easily replaced.
Etc. Think about the purpose of each room and choose a picture that suits it.
③Reference from SNS etc.
Recently, many examples of interior design using art have been posted on SNS such as Instagram and Pinterest.
Why not find a room with a similar atmosphere and color to yours and use it as a reference?
3. buy a painting
Do you have an idea of where you want to display the picture, the layout, and the taste? ?
Now, let's buy a painting that suits your room!
Now, if you were to buy a painting, where and how would you buy it?
Some people may think of galleries and art galleries.
but,
"Galleries are a little difficult to enter..."
``Even if you go to the trouble of going there, there are only a few pieces, so it might be difficult to find one that matches the taste of the room...''
Isn't there some people who think that?
What I would like to recommend is online shopping , where you can easily purchase paintings .
If you shop online, you can search for works from a wide range of genres without leaving your home!
However, there are many sites where you can purchase paintings...
Which site should I search for?
I would definitely recommend FROM ARTIST to anyone ! !
FROM ARTIST is a service that currently has approximately 300 artists and anyone can easily purchase art works .
Many artists from all over Japan, both famous and unknown, have registered, so you may even come across an artist you haven't met yet.
There are many works on display regardless of genre, so you are sure to find one that matches the atmosphere of your room!
FROM ARTIST also accepts custom-made paintings . The customer selects the artist of their choice, and after agreeing on detailed conditions between the customer and the artist, the work will be produced. Would you like to create your own piece of work, the only one in the world, with FROM ARTIST? ?
