A large painting is a standard element of living room interior design.

Many people believe that this part should be avoided.

Popular arguments include: “too predictable”, “overloads the interior”, “creates visual noise”, etc.

However, Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, still advises hanging a large painting in the room.

According to the expert, a framed image is an essential part of the living room interior.

An expert named three reasons why a piece of fine art should be placed in a room.

Quick mood creation

By hanging a painting in the living room, a person will ensure that the interior of the room instantly acquires style.

In addition, a piece of art will create a certain mood.

And the interior is very easy to "refresh": just replace one picture with another. As a result, both the style and the mood will change.

This result is achieved without renovation, replacement of finishing materials or rearranging furniture.

"Dilution" of wallpaper

Walls covered with the same wallpaper look boring.

By hanging a picture, a person immediately solves this problem.

Convex

Thanks to the work of art, the interior acquires volume and “convexity”.

Important point: you need to use a painting in a frame, not a poster.

For reference

A painting is a work of fine art that is relatively isolated from its surroundings and involves concentrated, prolonged perception from one fixed point of view.
