Take into account your interior design and personal preferences
- Think about which styles and themes appeal to you.
- Is it abstract art, landscapes, portraits or something else?
- Check that the colour scheme of the artwork matches the shades in the room.
- Assess which size best suits your space and set a budget.
Choose a work of art according to the characteristics of the space
High ceilings
Vertical paintings highlight the height of the space and make it look more impressive. They also create an elegant and airy atmosphere in the room.
Low ceilings
Horizontal panels are usually a better choice, as they create the illusion of a wider and more open space. However, a vertical board can also work if the aim is to visually “raise” the height of the room.
Adding a sense of space:
Long horizontal paintings or a composition of several paintings visually expands the room. They give depth to the space and add a sense of space.
What size painting would be suitable?
Just one painting can bring warmth and harmony to your home and bring your interior to life.
When choosing a painting, it is important to consider its size in relation to the proportions of the wall. A large painting can act as the focal point of a room and create an impressive atmosphere, but it requires enough empty space around it to be highlighted.
A small painting, on the other hand, can be overlooked on a large wall.An excessive number of paintings or other elements on the walls can visually reduce the space and create a feeling of unrest, especially if the room is full of small details. That's why a more pared-down solution may work better: choose one large painting instead of several small ones. Landscape panels are an excellent choice here, as they bring space and calm to the room.
Small paintings
Small paintings are best placed on shelves or in small corners, where they complement the space beautifully. If you place a small painting on a large wall, it can become visually lonely and get lost in the overall scheme of things.
Large paintings
Large paintings can create a striking effect and act as an eye-catcher in a room. They fill a space harmoniously, but require enough empty space around them to show off their proportions and beauty.
Choose the right place for the board
Choose the most prominent wall for the mural where you want to draw the viewer's attention. Hang the centre of the mural at eye level. Leave a space of 20cm between the furniture and the painting.
It is not recommended to hang paintings opposite a window or in direct sunlight, as this can fade the colours and damage the artwork. Instead, consider spotlights to accentuate the painting and protect it in the long term.
Don't hang paintings on every wall of your house, as this can turn your home into more of an art gallery than a cosy and comfortable space. Instead, choose one prominent wall to act as the focal point of the space and highlight it with a carefully chosen painting or paintings. If you prefer, you can choose several paintings for this wall. They can be either in a row or in a collage, creating an interesting and harmonious whole. Art does not necessarily have to be framed in the same way, as a varied choice of frames can add personality and dynamism to a space. The important thing is that the hanging supports the mood of the space and makes it feel more homely.
The magic of the dark painting: how art opens up space
A light-coloured picture does not always enlarge the space. People often think that a light-coloured wallpaper will open up a room and create a more airy feel, but this is not necessarily the case. A dark wall can act as the focal point of a room and add depth to the space, making the room look larger and more atmospheric. The contrast between the walls and the dark artwork emphasises the proportions of the room and creates the illusion of a larger space.
Pay close attention to the lighting on the board.
Daylight brings out the colours and details of the painting to best effect, but direct sunlight can damage the work over time and fade its tones. In a dimly lit room, on the other hand, the painting benefits from spot lighting, which enhances its beauty and creates a moody feel to the room.
