<h1>What should you consider when buying large paintings?</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Leonid Afremov.aspx'>Leonid Afremov</a></strong><br /><p>Art is a powerful influencer on the overall atmosphere of your living area. Different pieces of art – paintings or sculptures, it depends on your preferences – can easily change the look and feel of a room. The interior of a freshly decorated area may become more emotional, full of light or shady; get warmer or colder with certain color tones etc. The bigger the size of the chosen decoration is, the more attentive you should be with your choice. If you decided to buy some new large paintings(http://afremov.com/CITY-AFTER-THE-RAIN-PALETTE-KNIFE-Oil-Painting-On-Canvas-By-Leonid-Afremov-Size-c.html) for your living area, you should point out some key issue for your successful choice. 1. Mind the balance between the dimensions of the room and the painting size It’s a well-known fact that a large canvas is capable of visually expanding the area of your room. But you shouldn’t cover the whole wall space with one big picture – it will cause an oppressive effect. 2. Create a harmonic combination of pictures If there are already some ‘neighbors’ in the room where a new luxurious big painting is expected to appear, make sure it won’t cause a cacophony of styles, colors and characters. For example, the style of frames (material, color, ornament) should be identical for all pieces of art located in the same combination on the wall. The pictures featuring black or white frames or framed in a very creative way (for example, in chess-board fashion) are an exception. 3. Consider furniture arrangement Since big pictures are one of the most remarkable details of the interior, they should harmonize with the furniture located in the same room. Put up a picture where it can be easily seen and won’t interfere with the normal operation of the room. Moreover, remember an important ‘2/3 rule’: all pieces of art hung above furniture items have to be no more/less than two thirds of their length. 4. Make sure you have all necessary elements for secure picture hanging There won’t be any difficulties while hanging a standard-sized picture. But mind that large paintings are heavier and require some additional supplies. Besides ordinary nails and hammer, you may need drywall hangers, extra high strength nails, lifting bolts with lock tools, large picture hanging strips, etc. All these items will help you fasten new big pictures securely. 5. The last but not least – the choice of the painting Big pictures will undoubtedly play first fiddle in your living area influencing your emotional state and impressing your guests and adding some new tones and notes to the whole palette of the interior. Remember that your purchase should be of a high quality and bear a certain message you want to get across.
