Interior with paintings
On the wall can be placed:
- one picture;
- composition;
- a series of paintings.
Wherein:
- horizontal placement visually lengthen the room;
- vertical - lift the ceiling;
- a huge picture in a small room looks bulky;
- a small picture on a large naked wall is a very unsuccessful solution, because creates the impression of insecurity;
- an unsuccessful place for placing the picture - a high closet located nearby;
- it is unacceptable to post paintings below than 0.6 m from the floor;
- properly executed backlight will make the picture more spectacular.
Classic: One wall - one picture
The classic method requires following the following simple rules:
- the picture should be visible completely, so place it in the free zone, it is impossible to close it with some kind of furniture or flowers;
- it is unacceptable to hang the picture under the ceiling or vice versa, too low. The optimal position is the middle line conditionally drawn at eye level;
- a section of the wall with a picture should: on the one hand, it is well lit, and on the other, direct sunlight should not fall on it, otherwise the pattern will quickly deteriorate;
- follow the proportions of the size of the image and furniture that you intend to place it. If the picture is a little shorter than, for example, a sofa or table, then this is the most successful solution.
Composition
The composition from the paintings looks very impressive, but, placed like images on the wall, despite their advantages, may look tasteless. There will be no impression of integrity. To avoid this, when selecting, pay attention to:
- color scheme. It must coincide or successfully combine;
- motives. Include paintings united by a common idea in the composition. It can be the same framework, something similar in the design, etc.
Important: Pictures should be combined not only among themselves, but also stand out against the background of the wall. For example: the blue sky in the picture will be lost if the wall is glued with wallpaper of the same bright tone.
The responsible approach to the creation of the composition provides for pre -viewing what should turn out in the end, and for this:
- draw on paper how the paintings will be placed, observing exactly the scale;
- for greater clarity, post the paintings on a flat surface and move them until you reach complete harmony.
You can arrange paintings:
- strictly observing clear geometric lines. This order will be appropriate if all the paintings have the same sizes, or when you want to highlight some kind of plot-composition center. Such severity is appropriate in an office room or in an office;
- to hang freely around some unifying center, relying on your taste. The center can become the plot, color, manner of performance.
And what if the scope of the paintings is the same, but the sizes are different? It is important to correctly place accents. So this is what:
- suppose: at one end of the composition you planned to place a large size work. To somehow balance the picture, place several small images at the other end;
- dark tones in one corner of the composition should be balanced by the same in the other.
Series
Particularly became popular paintings consisting of parts, i.e. Modular paintings for the interior. Such drawings are quite large, but precisely due to the fact that they consist of several elements, there is no feeling of bulky.
Such paintings include:
- diptychi. The picture consists of 2 parts;
- triptihi. Include 3 paintings;
- polyptihi. Consist of several paintings.
Pictures-pastors for the interior
With a word, the poster immediately arises an association with a simple paper poster, and in translation from English, Poster means a poster or poster, but this does not quite correspond to reality. Pictures-pastors are photographs, of which modular images consist. Posters print:
- on very thick paper;
- paper with a canvas effect;
- on the canvas natural;
- on the photo paper.
It is believed that the poster in the apartment is a budget option. However, if you carefully select and place it correctly, then these modern works for the interior will not yield to reproductions of high cost.
Modern paintings
Most modern paintings for the interior of the living room differ from the classic in the following:
- Modern paintings are mostly abstract. They are designed to create a certain emotional atmosphere.
- The classic themselves are a key accent of interior.
How to make a picture yourself
Housing becomes special comfortable if it has paintings for the interior made by yourself. There are a lot of options for interior paintings for the interior.
They are made from;
- natural materials: chestnuts, acorns, branches, leaves, etc.;
- from fabrics;
- skin;
- posters;
- photos;
- papers.
Consider some methods.
We make a modular picture
Perhaps, the most easiest picture is to make a modular picture:
- choose an image suitable in size and content. You can buy an ordinary paper poster for this or even use a long time hanging on the wall and a pretty boring picture;
- we take the scissors and divide it into parts;
- we select the base. It can be a dense cardboard or foam;
- we glue the image elements on the basis. The modular picture is ready;
- hanging your creation on the wall, you will see that the interior has become more modern, and the living room is perceived in a completely different way.
It may come in handy: The task of making the picture can be performed differently: we buy photo frames. In each of them we insert along the 1st part and hang on the wall.
Paper masterpiece
The picture made in the quilling technique is the case when they say that something comes out of nothing. Yes, even what something! A real work of art. This is a pretty lady in a hat decorated with flowers, made on the basis of an image found on the Internet. So we make a picture of paper. Let's start in order.
First, we are stocked up with the right material and tool:
- a sheet of thick paper;
- pVA glue;
- colored paper;
- there is also a quilling tool on sale, but ordinary toothpick is also suitable.
The sacraments of creativity:
- transfer the selected pattern to the prepared dense base;
- we apply paper in advance on strips to lines that outline the silhouette and cut off the blanks of the desired length;
- we lubricate the rib of the strips with glue and in this way we glue the entire shape;
- we make flowers, for which we wrap the strip on a toothpick, then we dissolve the resulting roll, glue the end and give the product the required shape.
After watching the video, you will definitely know how to make different elements in the quilling technique. Imagine only the surprise of the guests when they find out that you made this stylish picture with your own hands.
Skin as a material for paintings
Pictures for the interior of the living room can also be made from various skin residues. We should have the following:
- the source material is leather. You can use the old cloak or boot boot if the skin on them is quite thin;
- frame;
- the basis of a piece of cardboard, plywood, wood -fiber slab;
- paints - better acrylic;
- scissors;
- glue;
- a knife designed for cutting linoleum.
Having collected the entire tool and materials, we begin the creative process:
- we measure the recess in the frame and cut the base, making allowances of 5 mm from all sides;
- we cut the skin. The width and height of the workpiece should be more than the base of 2 cm;
- along the perimeter of the leather part, just on allowances, apply glue;
- we bend the allowances and press them to the back of the base, so that they glue well;
- the basis with the skin glued to it is placed in the frame and fasten, using glue or small nails;
- we make leather blanks, which we subsequently turn into flowers and leaves;
- we warm up the resulting blanks over the gas stove until the edges begin to bend. In order not to burn your hands, use a tweezer as a holder. The front side must be turned to the fire;
- make the middle of the flower;
- we glue the petals to it, moving from large to small;
- now we stain what happened;
- we lay out fragments of flowers and leaves based on, creating a drawing.
Other options
And why, instead of buying a picture for the interior, not try to make the author's canvas yourself? Say that you can’t draw? You will be surprised, but you don’t have to be able to do it at all. Do this:
- take the canvas;
- see what colors are present in the interior of your living room;
- apply spots of all these colors to the canvas;
- pull the canvas on the base, place in the frame. The result was a picture in the style of modern.
If you have a black and white interior
The living room in black and white colors has a strict, graphically clear, exquisite. Pictures for black and white interior should be selected in the same spirit, i.e. In black and white. They will make the interior completed. Can be used:
- black and white photos that give the living room a special style;
- monochrome paintings containing some mystery, and the design of a black and white living room acquires depth and sophistication.
