The picture is a frequent and important accessory for the interior. In the article we will tell you how to hang pictures in the room.

The classic interior accepts landscapes, old portraits and still lifes. In 90% of cases, oil painting is used, but you can look at graphic and watercolor images.

How to hang pictures in the living room

You should not place objects too high - otherwise they will be uncomfortable to look at. Stand in front of the place where the picture, photograph or panel will eventually hang. Mark the level where the naturally thrown glance rests (without raising or lowering the head).

The easiest way is to hang a picture or several pictures in the center of the wall. Choose the image and style of the plot to match the style and concept of the interior: for example, classics are friends with symmetry and stricter lines, while modern styles are combined with bolder colors and images.

If you hang a large picture painted in large strokes, then you need to remember that it can only be viewed from a distance of about three times the long side of the picture; horizontal paintings are best hung over sofas, and vertical ones in narrow openings.
