Paintings are an important element that creates beauty and style in a room.

However, an abundance of images can overload the interior.

There shouldn't be too many paintings, otherwise the room will become too colorful.

Due to the large number of "competitors" each image will cease to attract attention. And the overall composition will clearly worsen the appearance of the room.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, named the maximum permissible number of paintings on one wall.

How many paintings can you hang on one wall

It is desirable to have no more than three paintings hanging on each wall.

This amount is quite enough to create an interesting composition that will decorate the room.

An interesting “highlight” will appear, making the interior stylish and original.

Using a fourth (and even more so a fifth, sixth, etc.) painting can ruin the interior.

It is advisable to follow the “three pictures” rule if you are hanging medium or small sized images on the wall.

But if the painting is huge, then most likely it is worth limiting yourself to just one.

Earlier, the expert explained why wallpaper with large patterns is taboo for a small room.
