Walls: paintings and photographs, rules of hanging

Pictures and photographs - elements of the home collection decorate the interior. What are the rules for their hanging?

• Exhibit small works in a group. One small picture on the whole wall doesn't look good.

Rachel Lacker. Townhouse in London. Hall. Asymmetric composition of black and white photo stops the look. Skirting and molding smooth bends rise along with the stairs.

• Chaos eyes tired. Therefore, when hanging, stick to the system. For example, align the composition on one of the edges - it will be more harmonious.

Project Chad James Group. Wall with the most favorite work of art of the British Girl with Balloon - the work of the mysterious street artist Banksy.

• Another version of the system hanging: mentally draw a line on the wall, place all the images either above or below it, aligning, respectively, along the lower and upper edges.

• Place the same type of work of the same size in symmetrical, even rows. Pages of botanical atlas, architectural studies, sheet music scores are a beautiful decoration without any complaints.

Andrea Dal’Olio. On the wall are drawings by Ravage Atelier and an authentic antique bust.

• Frequent error: they are hung too high. Place them so that the middle is just below eye level - then it will be convenient to examine both standing and sitting.

Nilufar Gallery: квартирная выставка art&design. В роли изголовья выступает ширма Мартино Гампера. С ней контрастируют три псевдоклассических портрета австрийца Маркуса Шинвальда, Люстра дизайна Линдси Эйдельман.

• It is not true that large canvases are contraindicated in small rooms. A large image focuses attention on itself, changes the scale, helps to visually increase the space.

Above the fireplace in the living room, the painting “Pantheon”: written specifically for the project by A. Khabibullina from photographs brought by the owner from traveling.

• Placing on the shelves makes it easy to change the exposure, overlap one frame with another, combine color images with black and white.

• Usually the picture is hung over the fireplace exactly in the center, especially if there is a panel of molded profile on the wall.

House of Michael Bruno. Over the fireplace portrait of Bruno by N. Wallin. On the other wall is a 1900s canvas bought in Antwerp. A pair of 1950s T.-H. Robsjon. Chandelier Tristan, Lucca Studio. Wallpaper Ralph Lauren.

• To painting canvases need to pick up the frame. Such that was in harmony both with a cloth, and with an interior. If you are not sure what to do, do it simply: hang a picture without any frame at all.
