Choosing the right
painting for your wall
can be a bit tricky. One wrong move could
spell disaster to your space. A painting
should be able to soothe the vibe of a
space or enhance the mood by making a
bold statement to the audience. However,
a painting relies heavily on its setting;
the right piece for the right wall. Here are
four useful tips on how to choose the right
painting for your space.
• Colour scheme
In order to have the right painting on
your wall without compromising any
a traditional still life flower painting is
not going toworkwell with a room that
has been decorated with a minimalist
approach, while a minimalist painting
will not compliment a room that has
an organic feel.
• Size
Another important thing to consider
before choosing your painting is to
know the width and length of the area
where the painting will be hung. The
size of the wall should be measured
and determined before the painting is
mounted.
If there is a need to command atten-
tion and make a statement, select
a larger piece to be hung in a plain
room. Smaller pieces can be hung in
of the design elements that surrounds
it, it is not the question of choosing
the one you like the most but rather
the one that suits the space. To find
the perfect color and to avoid color
clashing, there should be a relation
between the painting that you choose
with the color of the wall and the
interior. For example, a painting with
minimal colors can be a nice break for
a room with a colorful design style. It
is all about finding the perfect balance.
• Theme
There are various types of themes that
one could consider incorporating into
your space such as landscapes, flowers
and abstract. It is advisable to have
the theme of the painting matching
the theme of the room. For instance,
The right size painting
can totally transform the
look of the space. Large
sized painting commands
attention and with proper
lighting, it can easily give an
impact to the viewer.
