The most universal for the interior are still lifes.

The interiors of apartments and houses are decorated with the help of paintings today quite often, this is considered a good tone and an indicator of the taste of the owners. The paintings have become classics for a long time. They can fill any interior with a certain meaning. Copies of famous canvases and their reproductions can also be used. This is not important when viewed from the point of view of the interior. The main thing is that the picture looks appropriate, gives positive emotions.

According to some psychologists, there are paintings that can take away energy from a person. Usually they are made in the style of cubism, constructivism and the like. Such styles are best left on the insets and admire them there. The entrance hall is the only suitable place for them in a residential building or apartment. Realistic paintings with natural motifs, the image of the sea, animals, beautiful cities, as well as paintings by impressionist artists are much more suitable for living quarters.

Attention should also be paid to the genre of the picture. A window into some other world can open a vivid cityscape if you place it in the living room. He is able to make the atmosphere more solemn. In the bedroom it is better to pick up a rural landscape made in pastel colors and filled with light. When it comes to the bedroom, paintings are usually placed at the head of the bed. Along the stairs (if it is, of course, not a spiral), you can place a landscape with a large depth of image. You can also use several repeating line of steps of paintings having the same size.

The most universal for the interior are still lifes. Such images contain almost any inanimate objects. In the interior of the goals of their use can be many. For the kitchen or dining room, for example, you can pick up paintings with food, vegetables, dishes. A still life with an office, statuettes, books is suitable in the office. In the bedroom you can buy a picture with fruits or flowers.

The plot paintings deserve a very special conversation. An element of the continuity of family traditions and a certain luxury can be introduced into the interior with the help of antique and biblical subjects. However, such paintings are not suitable for all apartments. The style of the rooms should be classic. Battle scenes are best left for the Empire, but in this case they will be most appropriate in the office. Portraits of households or ancestors can be hung in the living room.

More universal and democratic are genre scenes. They can talk about the hobbies of the residents or about their occupation.

It is worth remembering that the choice of the painting is half the battle. Choosing the right place for her is not so easy. In addition, the exposure method will need to be considered. Typically, paintings are placed on professional suspension systems symmetrically. This is very convenient and relevant, as you can simply move the bracket to the desired position to slightly sweep the picture. However, you can simply arrange the objects of painting on a chair, floor, table, moving them periodically. This is also allowed.

For a good picture, you should choose the most illuminated place, however, remember that direct sunlight causes the image to become discolored and distorted, so you should avoid them. Sliding natural color or artificial lighting is the perfect solution. Northwest and western walls, for example, can be selected if the windows face southwest or south. If the windows face east, the exposure area should be on the southwest or south wall.

You can hang pictures in any place if the windows face north. It is for this reason that the studios in which the windows face this direction were usually chosen by artists earlier. Lighting in this case is the most even and stable. Around the perimeter of the room should not be placed paintings even if the light does not interfere. A single composition of the interior will be broken if they hang on each of the walls.

Other wall decorations should not be placed next to paintings. An exception in some cases are only other paintings. But at the same time their color scheme should be the same. Otherwise, chaos of color spots will appear, the room will be restless and unbalanced. Composing a single composition of the picture is the best solution. Next to one large work, for example, you can place several paintings that are small in size. If the room has high ceilings, it will look very attractive.

The intervals between the same type of picture must be the same. Differently shaped canvases are hung in tiers. However, a deliberately unsuccessful decision in this case would be to place them in descending or ascending order. Two identical paintings located symmetrically to each other give the interior an official look.
