Having started similar process in creation of interior in own apartment, you have reached a deadlock, and do not know how to place pictures? There are several rules, following which, you will create unity of composition.
Instruction
1. Consider functional purpose of the room where you will place picture, for example, in kitchen or the dining room the pictures representing battle scenes will be inappropriate.
2. It is not desirable to hang up picture opposite to window, otherwise it will glare and will not bring any pleasure to its owner.
3. It is not necessary to place pictures too highly. Hang up them on wall so that it was convenient to look at them. For the pictures extended horizontally draw the direct imagined line, having receded up from bottom edge of picture of centimeter two or three, and place picture on wall so that the straight line was at the level of your eyes. To place the pictures extended vertically use the previous principle if you have in the apartment high ceilings. And at low - draw the imagined straight line at distance of six centimeters it is above from edge.
4. Good way to place picture on easel or lectern. Thus, you will be able to create the creative atmosphere as though the picture just stopped being drawn.
5. If you want to place group, then make it of pictures of relatives on style, genre, texture. It will be good to look the series written only by oil or watercolor or united by one subject.
6. Pictures of the different sizes place one over another: small – over bigger, and big – over small. One more way: place big picture in the center, and around it hang up small.
7. To pay attention to picture make illumination. It is really very important as with its help it is possible to create directional light which will help to eliminate patches of light from other luminous sources or to remove shadows.
8. For the home gallery use special illumination. If the picture is placed in the darkened space, for example, corridor, then it is better to light it with low-voltage halogen lamps. The size of such lamps small, and light turns out white. Such light does not distort true paints
9. However, if nearby to the place on which you assume to place picture, there are no sockets, then you do not manage to illuminate locally picture. And wires from wall lamps will spoil impression of picture even if you will hide them in plastic box. In this case you will be helped by floor lamp. Establish it so that light fell on picture, and the wire can be hidden in plinth about cable channels.
