Pictures for the interior are a very popular element of the decor of any room. Original works of famous artists or their less expensive copies, glossy posters or family photos, digital images printed on paper or canvas can decorate faceless walls, make the boring interior original, and turn an inconspicuous room into stylish apartments.
With the help of correctly located pictures, you can change the visual perception of the room. Low ceilings will appear higher if you hang a vertically oriented picture or several images one below the other. You can expand the room by placing the paintings horizontally in a row.

You can expand the room by placing the paintings horizontally in a row. If the room layout resembles a corridor, it is better to hang a bright big picture on the front side – the room will become more comfortable and proportional.
Location height
The image will be best perceived by the human eye if its center is located at a height of 150-152 cm from the floor. By this principle, exhibits are hung at exhibitions and in museums..
If the picture is small and there are small details on it, it is allowed to hang it lower (but not lower than 60 cm from the floor). Larger images, it is recommended to hang higher – up to 160 cm from the floor.

Composition of several images
Such a composition, made with taste, will look pretty profitable. It is better to hang several paintings of the same size, united by a common theme, in a row or in several rows so that the intervals between them create the appearance of the correct grid.

The dynamic plot of the picture is able to emphasize the unusual features of the living space.
Small images can be placed asymmetrically around one larger picture or arranged in a row in a random order, with the largest being about 30 cm away from the center of the composition.
Pictures and furniture
No need to hang a picture near a bulky cabinet. But placing one or more images over a low piece of furniture will be very helpful. The traditional solution is a picture composition above the sofa in the living room. Design proposals in the form of paintings above a chest of drawers or a fireplace are no less harmonious.

Make sure that there is no obvious geometric imbalance between the picture and the door, window openings, niches and arches.
