So the person is arranged - the empty wall awakens in him an irrepressible desire for decoration. What to choose in the boundless sea of ​​interior painting and graphics - because sometimes only a fine line separates success from failure? Listen to yourself - a sense of proportion and common sense will tell you "what is good and what is bad" ...1. The Mirror of the World An elongated mirror doubles the number of city plans and architectural structures that are hung on the walls, which already reaches a critical level. Engravings are well matched in size - their placement unobtrusively highlights the complex relief of the walls. Still, the endless rows of monotonous drawings in the living room look too monotonous. However, the passion for drawing - of course, not a vice ...2. Thin, however, work Offer for refined aesthetes: an exquisite game with color in a snow-white living room. Here, everything is decided by careful selection of colors and sizes of color spots, as if applied by a brush on a blank canvas: a pale yellow trapezium of the canvas complements the perfectly symmetrical composition of the room.3. Uninvited guest It reminds him of a huge canvas in the spirit of Suprematism, obviously due to a misunderstanding that got into a cozy living room with wicker furniture and charmingly naive pads and ruches. The destructive pathos of modernism is still not very consistent with the idyll of rural life.4. Home encyclopedia It turns out that as you climb the stairs, you can significantly expand your horizons: the images of birds - detailed, like pictures in a school textbook - arouse curiosity and a desire to examine them leisurely. A bit dry academic pattern and strict frames perfectly harmonize with the classical decoration of the hall.5. East is a delicate matter Usually, in a modern interior, a minimalist fireplace and Chinese lanterns, twisted candlesticks and African sculpture get along without any problems. However, there are exceptions to all the rules: large drawings — colored Chinese ink — seem, perhaps, too pale and transparent in this exotic environment.6. Paper architecture In the photo above. It is difficult to come up with the best "accompaniment" for a ladder with such a clear geometric pattern - on the edges of the wall, echoing the steps of the ladder, constructivist sketches in metal frames are hung in steps.7. Already the same cheat? Actually, the meaning of illusionist painting in the interior has remained the same - deceiving, surprising and entertaining. If you believe a huge decorative panel, a comfortable sofa and soft chairs are located right at the entrance to the Garden of Eden. If you do not strive to arrange a rally, then the panel is better placed in a place where it will be seen entirely - you can't, in fact, hide such beauty behind pieces of furniture.8. Royal luxury The decorative canvas adorning the luxurious sofa corner has an elegant architectural frame in the form of pilasters. The spontaneous conversation of the drawn ladies and gentlemen in the lap of nature naturally flows into the lively social conversations familiar to this drawing room. Impeccable taste is felt in the combination of noble shades of furniture upholstery and muted paints of the "old" painting.9. Storm in the glass In the photo below. The sharp color contrasts of the two canvases do not fit in with the upholstered bed, decorated with a romantic pattern. It is better to change expressive abstractions to conflict-free images of colors, or to install an avant-garde analogue instead of a bed.10. As on parade Six symmetrically arranged engravings depicting urban landscapes make up a small exposition of the main dining room. The direct perspective of the central engraving attracts the eye, emphasizing the axis of symmetry of the room. Shimmering matte gilding baguettes remind of the official character of the situation. Equal attention!Fortunately, there are no universal recipes for beauty, including the selection of interior painting. Sometimes a little watercolor is enough to make the room suddenly comfortable. Or maybe you just need a defiantly bright monumental canvas - the choice is yours. The main thing is that these should be the colors of your unique inner world ...
