How to choose paintings for the interior? Art for your interior and more
1. Style
When we talk about art style we can divide it to two big groups:
1. Modern interior. It includes mid-century modern, minimalism, loft, neoclassicism.
2. Conservative. Among its representatives are dark classics and country styles.
What gives us an understanding of the style of the interior?
Any item you want to fit into an existing living space (whether it's a vase, rug, or piece of art) needs to be in harmony in style with what's already in the room. An object that "falls out" of the general style will look alien.
So for modern interior will be good abstraction, avant-garde and conceptual art. If the interior is conservative, then we look at realistic art (landscapes, still lifes, portraits), impressionism.
As usual, there are exceptions to all rules. The given boundaries help us at the initial stage, it is also important to listen to intuition, because it is often possible to combine different styles with a well-chosen color and shape.
2.Colour
The picture can support the main color of the interior. And it can become a connecting element, bringing together additional and / or accent colors. Whether your interior is monochrome or brightly colored, a picture can soothe it or add drive.
3. Decide on the place of the picture
Answer the question, where do you look first when you enter a room?
Try to notice how your eyes wander around the room, at what points it pauses.
Such places are the main contenders for the title of custodian of painting.
Where is the seating area in the room? In the office, it can be a cozy armchair, in the living room - a large sofa, in the dining room - a place at the table. Place the picture so that it is convenient for you to look at it from your resting place. The placement height will also depend on this. For example, you should be comfortable looking at your work without tilting your head back.
Leave free space around the painting, do not press it too close to the furniture. There should always be "air" around the picture!
*You can also put the picture on a chest of drawers, a desk and even the floor, if it is large!
4. Decide on the size of the picture
The rule of three quarters will help you here - the width of the picture should be approximately equal to ¾ of the length of the piece of furniture over which it is placed.
For example, a painting is planned above the console. The length of the console is 120 cm, multiply by 3/4, we get 90 cm. So, the width of the picture above this console should be about 90 cm. Or the length of the sofa is 240 cm, multiply by ¾, we get 180 cm. So, the picture above the sofa needs something like this length.
Living room
The living room is a gathering place for guests and family, so it’s important to make your environment positive and beautiful. The style of the image will directly depend on the style of your room. It's important to listen to your heart. The choice of themes for the living room is simply great. These can be images of animals, rural and urban landscapes, flowering gardens, seas and rivers, abstraction, portraits of family members.
Kitchen
For the kitchen, it would be appropriate to consider still lifes, beautiful flowers, romantic landscapes, funny stories, images of funny animals. But, first of all, the picture should please you and give you pleasant emotions. Like it or not, there is always additional moisture in the kitchen, so when choosing a picture for the kitchen, give preference to works that are varnished or protected by glass, or use acrylic works. Choose the safest place for the picture, well, if it is the wall opposite the plate. You can successfully fit pictures into free shelves.
Bedroom
Cabinet and office
A picture in your office will not only decorate the interior, but can also positively affect your career and improve your financial situation.
Kid’s room
Toilet
When choosing the subject of a painting, they most often turn to the sea, shells,, seagulls. But don't just stop at them. You can harmoniously fit flowers, animals, and landscapes into the interior of the bathroom. Give preference to work done on canvas with oil, rather than watercolor on paper. Paper from moisture is deformed, and the paint may leak. If you hide the work under the glass, then the condensate will still accumulate on the glass.
Please note that a layer of protective varnish has been applied to the oil painting, which will extend the life of the painting in a damp room.
It is even better if the picture is painted with acrylic.

Erotic art
Abstract and modern art
Art made a long way till it arrived to this point.
Despite the fabulous cost of
contemporary art objects, they are acquired by collectors. You may not have noticed, but now there is a kind of collecting boom. There are amateurs who simply invest in contemporary art, and
there are those who collect collections at the behest of the soul, forming small art galleries.
What can I say? These paintings fit well into the interior. They are difficult to understand and value. Good contemporary art carries a high energy intensity, it speaks the language of modern times, it is fashionable and progressive.
