Framed paintings and photographs are important interior details.

These things help to make the room more beautiful and stylish.

But this effect will only appear if the images are placed correctly.

It only takes one mistake to make the room look tasteless.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, emphasized: there is a mistake that many people have made.

How not to place paintings

A common mistake is to place the image in the frame at a height that is too high or too low.

It turns out that the painting is located either too close to the sofa or right under the ceiling.

This should not be allowed under any circumstances, otherwise the room can hardly be called stylish and comfortable.

The painting or photograph should be placed at eye level: so that a standing person can calmly examine it without raising or lowering their head.

If this condition is met, the interior will look neat.

Other errors

Some people turn a room into a "gallery": the wall is completely covered with paintings. This is not a good idea: there should be gaps between the images.

There is another gross oversight: placing several paintings not in the center of the wall. It is bad if a group of images is located on the left or right side of the wall.
