It's very important to have a space in your daily life where you can truly relax. To achieve this, it's essential to have interior design that reflects your personality. Paintings, in particular, have the power to instantly change the atmosphere of a room and enrich your lifestyle. In this article, we'll introduce how to use paintings to create a room that is uniquely yours, as well as some specific tips on how to choose them.
Three benefits of painting
1. Visual healing and relaxation
Paintings soothe the mind and reduce stress through the visual effects of color and shape. For example, works with soft colors and nature motifs can provide a peaceful atmosphere in the living room or bedroom.
2. A way to express individuality
Paintings are the perfect way to add a personal touch to your space. Whether you want to express your artistic side with an abstract painting or show off your love of nature with a landscape, the painting you choose will help you express your personality in your space.
3. Create harmony throughout the interior
Paintings on the walls act as accents in the space and bring out a sense of unity throughout. By choosing paintings that go well with the furniture and lighting, you can create a professional-quality interior.
Steps to creating a room that suits you using paintings
1. Decide on a theme for your space
First, it's important to determine the overall theme or mood of the room. Do you want to create a relaxing or energetic space? This will help you decide on the style of painting you should choose.
Calm space → If you are looking for a relaxing effect, we recommend abstract paintings or paintings of nature or landscapes. The calm colors and soft touches will soothe your mind. They are perfect for a bedroom or study.

2. Choose a painting that fits the size of your room
The key to choosing a painting is to match the size of the wall and the space in which it will be displayed. By choosing a large piece for a large wall and a small piece for a small space, you can create a balanced look for the space.
3. Use color schemes
It is important that the color of the painting harmonizes with the color scheme of the entire room. Choosing a tone that matches the color of the walls and furniture will create a sense of unity throughout the space. On the other hand, choosing a contrasting color and using it as an accent can also be effective.
How to buy and choose paintings
1. Use an online gallery
Online galleries that allow you to purchase art online offer a wide range of options and are easy to use. Platforms such as FROMARTIST offer a wide variety of genres and price ranges, making them a great choice even for beginners.
2. Focus on the artist's story
When choosing a painting, try to look not only at the artwork itself, but also at the artist's background and intentions. By choosing a work that resonates with your values and hobbies, you will feel more attached to it.
3. Imagine the layout before you buy
Before purchasing a painting, it's easier to choose if you have a specific image of where you want to hang it. Check the size and color of the work and simulate whether it will fit in your room. By using the AR function on your smartphone or photos, you can easily see the atmosphere when it is displayed, and make a satisfactory choice.
Recommended painting styles
1. Abstract painting
Abstract paintings are free-flowing works of art that freely combine shapes and colors, making them ideal for creating unique spaces. Because they lack a specific motif, they stimulate the viewer's imagination and add a unique atmosphere to a room. They are perfect for modern, chic interiors.

Things to consider when hanging paintings
1. Use of lighting
Lighting is an important way to make paintings look more beautiful. Using spotlights to illuminate the painting directly or indirect lighting to create a softer light will make the artwork stand out even more. By utilizing lighting, the painting will shine as the main focus of the space, and the overall atmosphere of the room will become much more sophisticated.
2. Display at the right height
Paintings are easier to appreciate when they are displayed at eye level. Generally, it is recommended to place the work so that its center is 120-150cm above the floor. Displaying it at this height creates balance in the space and maximizes the appeal of the painting.
3. Regular maintenance
Regular care is essential to keep paintings beautiful. The key is to gently remove dust with a soft cloth or brush and hang them in a place away from direct sunlight. It is also important to prevent humidity and excessive dryness. By continuing these care measures, you can enjoy the colors and textures of your paintings for a long time.
summary
By decorating a room with a painting, it transforms from a mere living space into a special space where you can feel "your own personality." Paintings with beautiful designs and soothing effects are reassuring items that can elevate your interior and enrich your life. Why not find your favorite piece and start creating a special space that is uniquely yours?
