A few words about the color of

The interior is largely dependent on the color scale:

• It should be taken into account that light colors visually increase the volume of the room, and the dark ones - on the contrary.
• In addition, there is a warm and cold part of the spectrum. In a room with cream, pink, beige walls it will seem warmer than it is, and if you chose blue or green tones, the temperature will appear lower.

Important! There are also mixed versions - for example, the lemon consists of yellow and green, so that it has both warm and cold notes, it all depends on the ratio.

For bedrooms and children often choose light warm shades. The living room can be any - even black and purple tones are allowed here. It is not necessary to paint all the elements in the same color - it is better to choose a combination of two or three basic shades.

Decorative items

No room can do without the dear heart of the owners of small things. If we talk about the design of the walls, they are often decorated with:

• paintings;
• photos;
• with shelves with shallow sculpture;
• products of arts and crafts;
• fabric panel.

Important! Regardless of which style of decoration you chose, the decorative elements should be clearly visible, otherwise - they simply will not fulfill their role. That is, they must contrast with the wall itself.

We hang pictures

There are a lot of options for placing such items. For example, if you want everyone who entered the room to immediately notice the painting - it should be just one picture, hanging so that it can be seen from any angle.

If you have several pictures, create a composition. A large canvas does not have to hang in the center. There may be other interesting options:

• a large vertical picture on one side, 2-5 small ones on the other:
• a large horizontal picture from above, a few small ones under it:
• a large canvas occupies an angle, from it divergent rays - smaller pictures.

The same principle is better to use when placing photos.

Important! As for the frames, then the requirement is one - they should ideally fit into the interior. Heavy frames with thread fit not always:

• If you have a room made in the Baroque, Renaissance or Classic - this option is certainly good.
• For Provence, too, carving is good, but with a strictly defined ornament - vegetable.
• In all other cases it is more reasonable to use thin slats.

Decorative and applied arts items

They can be used for decorating rooms in different styles. But, of course, the objects themselves will be different, and the options for their placement on the wall:

1. For a room in the classical style, large porcelain or porcelain plates with European landscapes, casting, are suitable, especially a shelf with porcelain figurines.
2. For medieval style, chasing, casting, carvings with biblical or urban themes are needed.
3. The room in the Provencal style will be decorated with a large wooden panel, which shows, for example, a vase of fruit, and all this is surrounded by interlaced leaves with flowers and berries.
4. When decorating a room in an ethnic style, be sure to consider which country the guest who is in your apartment should be in. Several lacquer miniatures, depending on the story, will transfer it either to China or to the middle lane of Russia, and a panel of scraps will lead to thoughts about America, pendants in the technique of macrame like a lover of art of the South American Indians.

Important! Always look good ceramic panels, paintings from natural materials - floristry or straw. And for kitchens there is another fashionable kind of decoration - large stickers with still lifes or landscapes.
