A wall decoration can be combined with furniture if the available wall space is suitable for the placement of the furniture. However, if the placement of expensive paintings is irregular, such as tilted or not symmetrical, it will give a bad impression on the painting or wall. You have to really arrange your wall decor carefully so that your room is comfortable to live in.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Styling Images Professionally
Step 1. Choose an appropriate and appropriate image
Sometimes if you have a picture you like pasted on your wall, it will look bad if the picture you like doesn't match the theme of your wall decor. Pictures on the walls of your house will be clearly visible to visitors to your home. Therefore, choose some of the best and appropriate pictures to be placed on your walls. For walls in the living room, the placement of family photos is the best thing.
Step 2. Group the images to be installed according to the plan
If you plan to place more than one picture on the walls of a particular room it is a good thing. However, you will have to adjust the spacing for the placement of each image on your wall. Before you place the image, sketch out the placement of the image that will be placed on your wall on paper. Use a pencil to sketch them so you can erase and replace them if you feel they don't match the placement.
Step 3. Install the largest image first
A large image that you are proud of and that you like is best placed on the core wall of the room. Position the image so that the eyes of visitors to your home will immediately fall on the image when entering the room.
Arrange your pictures carefully so that when you place a small picture, it is still visible and arranges as an arrangement among other small pictures. If you're not sure where to place some large pictures, you can place them on opposite sides of the wall
Step 4. Group the thumbnails
You don't need to place small pictures on the center wall of your room. You can group these thumbnails and arrange them according to the pattern you want. By placing these small pictures vertically or horizontally, it will give the impression of not being modern. However, if you place these small pictures randomly but still in groups, it will give a modern impression on the walls of the room.
- The most important thing when grouping images is to make sure that each frame is straight. Also make sure to set the same distance for each picture on the walls of your room.
- The advantage over small images is that they are more flexible than large images. So, you can place a small picture on your narrow wall space.
Step 5. Choose the appropriate frame
When you place pictures in groups in your room, you need to choose a frame that matches your picture and wall decor. Therefore, you must adjust the frame on the image that you place on the wall with the theme that you will apply. For example, some black framed pictures are more suitable to be placed on certain walls than placing yellow frames and others.
- Try placing a blue and white frame on a checkered wall pattern. Patterns on the walls are part of the theme, so you can place different colored frames to give the impression that the placement of the pictures that are grouped together has a logical purpose.
- If in doubt, place a white or black frame. Because the white or black frame can be applied to all colors and wall themes.
Part 2 of 3: Placing Pictures in Your Room
Step 1. Choose an image that matches the theme of your room
Each picture will create a different image impression in each room. Unless you combine various images for the theme of your room so that it will give a different impression on your room. For classic paintings and large family photos, it is very suitable if placed in the family room, while for photos of each family member it can be placed on the walls of stairs, bedrooms or bathrooms. For painting fruits or painting cooking utensils placed in the kitchen. Use your mind to place some pictures in your bedroom to give visitors the impression that your bedroom is comfortable.
Abstract painting can add to the impression that the room looks alive. However, if you are going to place abstract paintings in your room, do not place abstract paintings in various colors. You have to adjust the painting to the color of the walls in the room
Step 2. Don't place too many pictures on the walls of your room
One of the greatest assets in any room is the meaning of the room. A high ceiling can make you feel like you are in a church. The large windows can divert your eyes to see various views of nature. Don't let the pictures you place take away from the natural feel of your room. If the walls in your room have a lot of pictures, it will give the impression of a mess on the walls of your room.
- Pictures posted on the walls of a room should not compete with other rooms. In a sense, you have to place an image that fits your room.
- There are some walls that fit just by placing one or two pictures. There are even some walls that are not suitable for a picture to be attached to.
Step 3. Place the big picture in the small room
A large picture can make a small room appear more spacious. This will increase the dimension of the space by diverting attention from the wall surface on which a large picture has been attached which can give the impression that a small room is becoming more spacious.
If you place a large picture, do not cover the entire wall area of the room. Give a little space for the walls of your room
Step 4. Don't let a big room give a small impression to a big picture
Spacious rooms can be problematic for large pictures. Use other pieces of furniture such as tall shelves to match a large picture with a large room.
If you have a unique wallpaper, you can paste it into the space around your image
Step 5. Placing the furniture
Placing furniture on the wall will give a sense of your room. Arrange them carefully to make your room look alive. Try placing a landscape painting on your wall. Place a fruit painting in the kitchen, but you have to pay attention to your kitchen cabinets. Don't let the picture be blocked when you open the kitchen cupboard door.
Following the two-thirds rule of art, placing an image on a piece of furniture should be two-thirds as wide as the piece of furniture. For example, a three-meter wide sofa should be at least six and a half meters long. This rule applies to individual images as well as smaller groups of images
Step 6. Adjust the placement of the image according to the function of the room
For example, you have two sofas facing each other in your living room. You can place two pictures on each wall behind the sofa so that everyone sitting opposite each other can see each picture in front of them.) For the kitchen, you can place a small photo in the upper corner of the dining table that can liven up the room.
Part 3 of 3: Hanging Pictures
Step 1. Hang the image
A large picture or work of art can be a source of pride. You must adjust the position of the image to be hung before placing the image on the wall. This way, you can save money and avoid damaging the image from falling off the wall.
- When you hang anything on a wall, you have to place solid nails on your wall. This is something you should do when you hang large pictures. For smaller pictures, you can hang them between the two nails you place on the wall.
- Are you hanging a picture between the two nails? You should hit the nail with the hammer at an angle of 45 degrees or more. Doing this will provide a much stronger grip than the nail perpendicular to the wall.
Step 2. Look for alternatives to hanging pictures
Usually, many pictures are strong enough to hang with nails. However, there are other ways to hang pictures. Among them, hooks, anchors, and other tools commonly used to hang other objects on the wall. Here are a few types of tools you might consider for hanging pictures:
- hook. Metal hooks are designed for dry walls.
- Anchor. It's a nail-like tool, but it has screws, so it's a stronger anchor for hanging pictures on the wall.
- Bolt. These special bolts have wings that open when you push them against the wall, providing a firm grip.
- Adhesive. This adhesive has super sticky properties. You can put it on your picture, then you can stick it on the wall. You don't need nails if you use this adhesive.
Step 3. Avoid tilting the image
If you hang a family photo on your wall, but the position of the photo is tilted, visitors who come to your home will feel uncomfortable seeing the family photo in your living room tilted. Use a ruler to measure the position of your image or photo, using a pencil to outline your wall to determine the straight edges of each side for your drawing. After that, you can find out where the nails will be placed for your image so that your image is straight and not skewed.
