If paintings above the sofa are planned, even at the stage of interior design, it is advisable to paste plain wallpaper or wallpaper with a discreet monochrome pattern in this part of the living room. Large ornate patterns on the wallpaper are unacceptable, as they will literally take away the functional load from the paintings themselves.
A fireplace in the living room interior is another place where a british student data of art should hang by default. A great option is a portrait of some historical figure or head of the family. A painting above the fireplace in a classical style by famous artists of the past looks no less impressive and dignified. Thematic works associated with the interior design of the room will also be appropriate.
The painting can hang on the wall or stand directly on the fireplace. In the latter case, so that the painting does not stand alone, it will need companions. A pair of decorative porcelain figurines or statues made of metal or wood on one side will qualitatively complement the fireplace decor. A pair of large candles or a trio on a candlestick on the opposite side will fill the empty space and bring notes of romance.
If the fireplace is corner, there should be two paintings, both with the same theme. They are hung opposite each other. This will help to achieve a complete display of the fireplace area.
Backlight
In any art gallery, the works are well lit. This technique is especially necessary for expensive paintings and those that are placed in interiors with elements of classicism. They are illuminated by special lamps that are located from above. But this is the case when the painting hangs on a flat wall. When it is placed in a niche, a spotlight built into the upper part of the niche can be a light source. Such structures are made using plasterboard and metal profiles.
Niches for paintings in the living room can be located either above the sofa or where the TV is. In both cases, a small picture gallery illuminated in this way looks attractive.
