How to hang pictures

First, check how they hang in your room. Chances are the images are on the top half of the wall.

In this case, rehang the paintings so that they are in the center of the wall or even lower.

This simple trick creates an interesting optical illusion: the ceiling visually “rises”.

And this effect is explained very simply: a considerable distance appears between the paintings and the top covering, due to which the height of the room visually increases.

Earlier, the expert listed interior design solutions that should be gotten rid of: they create the effect of cheapness.
