How to choose the size of the decorative painting?

In addition to the practicality of home decoration, the primary consideration is the appearance, it is no exaggeration to say that no matter what style your home is, it is difficult for you to avoid the choice of decorative paintings; After all, most of the walls except for furniture are bare and blank, so in order to reduce monotony and rigidity, decorative paintings are preferred.

Different spaces, different walls, different styles for the size of the decorative painting is also different, too large to appear crowded space, too small will make people feel unatmospheric to give people a feeling of unfinished, in order to choose the decorative painting just right, you need to remember these points:

1. Estimated width:

There are generally three ways to determine the width of a decorative painting:

1. There are references:

If there is furniture under the decorative painting, such as a sofa, bed or end view cabinet, etc., it is equivalent to having a reference object in size, and the optimal width of the decorative painting should be 0.6 times the width of the reference object, for example, the bed is 1.8 meters wide, then the width of the decorative painting should be 1.8*0.6≈1.1 meters.

2. No references:

There are some spaces where there is no reference for the decorative paintings, such as the entrance, the corridor, the wall, what should I do when I only need one decorative painting? At this time, the width of the wall of the aisle can be used as a benchmark for selection; The width of the decorative painting is 0.8 times the width of the wall, for example, the width of the wall at the bottom of the aisle is 1 meter, then you should choose a decorative painting with a width of 0.8 meters.

2. Estimated height:

In fact, the height of the decorative painting is not too high, as long as the width is determined and then according to the content of the painting to determine a suitable proportion, but it does not mean that it is completely arbitrary, and the height can also have the best size.

1. There is furniture under the decorative painting:

If there is furniture below the painting, as mentioned above, it is just above the bed or sofa, then the height of the painting should be about half of the distance between the top of the furniture and the ceiling. For example, if the height of the head of a bed is 1.2 meters, and the height between the head of the bed and the ceiling is 1.5 meters, then the height of the decorative painting should be about 0.75 meters.

2. There is no furniture under the decorative painting:

If there is no furniture on the wall, such as the bottom of the aisle, then the height of the painting should be about three-fifths of the distance between the ground and the ceiling. For example, if the wall height is 2.7 meters, you can choose a painting with a height of 1.6 meters.

3. Coordinate width and height:

The width and height of a decorative painting are sometimes not the proportions we understand them, for example, you may happen to see a long and narrow painting, so what should you do?

1. Increase the width and reduce the height of the suspension at the same time:

As mentioned above, the width is 0.6 times that of furniture, but if the height of the painting is not enough, we can increase its length to make the painting slightly smaller than the furniture, for example, a 1.8-meter bed can hang a 1.6-meter painting, and at the same time, reduce the hanging height as long as it is 30 cm higher than the head of the bed.

2. Multiple paintings:

Another way is to hang multiple paintings to form a combination, but at this time, it is important to note that you should not only consider the height, but also pay attention to the gap between the paintings when calculating the width.

The selection of decorative paintings can give the design of the whole home "icing on the cake" and enhance the style of the space, but if the choice is not good, it will not achieve the expected effect, so the size must be grasped well.
