tips when it comes to decorating your wall

When picking out what to put on your empty wall, or over the couch an idea is a painting, family pictures, or a printed photo on canvas. Depending on your preference will tell you what would go best in your home. You can make any three or all three look good in your home. To make a painting or picture match a room is as easy as having a simple color palate for everything in the room. For example you could have a grey room with a black couch, and blue and gold pillows. So you pick a painting that goes well with those colors.

Pictures can give a more personal touch to the room. Usually family pictures, or school pictures aren't that big so my suggestion if you have a large wall is to put up multiple pictures is some sort of order or pattern and/or surround them with smaller pictures, a mirror, a clock, words, or the letter of your last name. 

A painting can be great because they can vary from so many different styles and colors. It’s also great if you have an artist in the family because hanging their art gives a display of their work and add personal meaning to the decoration. The easiest type of painting to put up in a room is a simple abstract painting. Abstract doesn't always mean busy pictures with many different shapes and colors. Simple paintings can be just a mixture of a couple colors blended together. These are easy to use for decoration because you just find a painting that has the colors that are already used most throughout the room. as i said before you should make a color palate of the main colors and accent colors in your room and then go searching for a painting to match.

A picture that has been printed on canvas i think can be very pleasing to the eye. A picture on canvas can be anything you want. My favorite is nature pictures; they look like they could be an extremely good painting. The other great thing about a picture printed on canvas is the editor of those pictures can customize it and give is a certain color filter to make it match your room better. For example you can get a picture of a close up of a sunflower and if your room has colors such as black, grey, blue, and gold, you can customize the picture to have a blue sheer filter over it and fade out other colors in the background. Or make the entire picture black and white and then add in splashes of color in the flower. It is all up to the editor of the picture. Pictures on canvas can be make for any theme because you can anything you want printed onto a canvas. 


Mixing some of these elements together can either turn out great or just look like a mess. Advise to putting multiple paintings or pictures on the wall is that they all should in some way match and the placement should have a sense of symmetry. basically if you step back and you sense something about it is uneven or one pictures or painting stands out way to much than the others then something needs to be replaced, removed, or added.
