1. Measure available wall space.
You can't just wake up one day and think, "Hey, it's great to hang your paintings here!" Before heading to the nearest gallery, take an accurate measurement of the wall space you can use. The general rule is that artwork should occupy three-quarters or two-thirds of the wall. Considering buying a large abstract painting for more visual effects.
2. Hang at eye level
Naturally, the position of the extra large horizontal wall art should be consistent with your height of sight, otherwise, it will feel inappropriate. Think about whether you will often stand or sit in the room, and adjust the artwork accordingly.
3. Leave some spare space around it.
Large Artwork should not occupy the entire wall, otherwise, the room will look messy and uncomfortable, and the painting itself will be lost. Therefore, hang the artwork at least 6-12 inches above the furniture and make sure there is a blank space around it.
4. Replace large paintings with a gallery of small ones.
Today, large artwork is very popular, but not everyone can afford them. If your budget is limited, you can use a few small paintings instead. Combine them on a blank wall to make them look harmonious and seductive. For more balance, add a new frame to the old painting.
5. Add colors complementary to the art palette.
The colors of your room should "sound" together, and you can use artwork to make it work. Repeat your palette of wall decorations throughout the interior-for example, put in a few bright sofa pillows or add a striking matching vase.
6. Go with photos.
Photography has become as complicated as painting. Using stylish photos indoors can give it an unexpectedly avant-garde look. You can even combine them with modern wall art, canvas prints, and other types of wall decoration.
7. Use the painting as a starting point.
Usually, we choose a large canvas painting that is suitable for our interior decoration and not vice versa. Try to do it another way and get clues from the paintings you will be using. You can "borrow" its color palette and style to choose the room's wall color, furniture, and other decorations. The results can be amazing.
