Wall paintings are loved by many families to choose for home decoration, especially every Tet and Spring. However, housewives should refer to 4 basic rules to help choose paintings suitable for the house as well as maximize cost savings.
Choose the correct proportional size
The most common mistake for housewives is not calculating and choosing inappropriate sizes. Some families often encounter situations of buying paintings that are too small or too large for the house area. A painting that is too small will be submerged in a wide wall area, while a painting that is too large will cause a feeling of crampedness and lack of highlights.
Accordingly, housewives should measure the total width of the painting. For example, if the sofa is 2 meters long, the painting hanging above should be about 1.2 meters wide. In addition, the center of the painting should be hung across the eye, about 1.5 meters from the floor surface for convenient viewing.
Folk or traditional paintings
For houses with modern styles, try choosing paintings with traditional styles. Folk paintings such as Dong Ho, Hang Trong paintings or lacquer paintings, hand embroidered paintings all bring their own beauty and create depth for the living space. The warm and rustic colors of this type of painting help bring warmth and luxury to the house during Tet.
Harmonious or contrasting colors
The color of the painting needs to be linked to the common color of the room. Consider carefully when choosing the color of the painting to create unity, avoid causing confusion for the living space.
Housewives can also create accents by choosing bright colors that contrast with the wall paint color. For example, on a white or light gray wall background, a painting with hot colors like red and orange will create a strong visual effect.
Investment in lighting equipment
Light is an important factor that helps the painting become more prominent. Therefore, hang the painting in places with natural light but also avoid direct sunlight, which will cause the painting to fade quickly.
For areas that do not have enough light, consider installing specialized spotlights. The light from the lights not only clarifies the artistic details in the paintings but also creates a warm atmosphere to prepare to welcome the upcoming New Year.
