You finally bought works of art for their new home, but have difficulty deciding what to do with them? The following tips will some suggestions on the best places in your house to hang your art to decorate the Great Wall.

1. The Living Room

Make sure the artwork is visible to people sitting in the lounge. If possible, the sofa had been organized to deal with the artwork so that each person seated will have a good view of it. A good place for art can be hung above the fireplace. A work of art hanging above the fireplace really make a statement and attract attention. If you want your artwork to be the focal point of any room, place in a strategic place where visitors can see first thing when you enter the room. If a wall opposite the entrance to his house, hang a work of art or great tapestry that really capture the attention of your visitors.

If the sofa is placed against the wall, parts Art hangs on the wall is also very good, but keep in mind that you should hang high enough that the person sitting on the couch head resting in the wall will not come into contact with the art piece and dislodge it. Try using several different pieces of art and combine them intelligently to add a more balanced. The size of the artwork should be chosen depending on the size of the living room and distance between viewer and art. If the room is small and spectators are very close to the artwork, you can choose the pieces that are smaller in size but contain more detail to better appreciate a shorter distance.

2. The bedroom

A piece of art the wall opposite his bed without a doubt give you something pleasant to look at as you go to bed. If the bed is against a wall, you can place small groups of pictures there too. Try putting your art in a place where you can see where you or your guests which should normally be in the room, namely the bed or table to study.

3. The Dining Area

The dining room is also a good place to hang art. Pictures of food or flowers add an interesting balance to the dining room and create good topic of conversation for your guests. Be sure to hang the artwork in just about the right height on the wall for your guests seated around the table will be able to see. In general, the illustrations hanging in your eyes should be about normal. However, if the piece is in the kitchen, then you may want to think twice before to their art not as a regular kitchen grease may damage long term.

4. Staircase Landing

The top of the stairs between the story is also a great place to hang art. This will be a focal point of interest to someone who continues to climb stairs. If the wall on the staircase landing is large enough, you might consider a bigger piece of art in May so that visitors begin to notice that even before reaching the top of the stairs. The wall along the stairs can also be used for hanging art. Among the steps are narrow (most anyway), you can use small images for this area as it will be very close to the eyes of the viewer because it is up or down stairs.

Hanging art on your walls can really help to enliven the place and transform your house into a home. There are no absolute rules as to how should decorate your house. Feel free to experiment. By late afternoon, so it looks good to you, is what really matters.

Enjoy decorating home!
