Lady Boss at home

Opening day in-home

Today hardly will be wishing to buy pictures by a principle “as from all”. The house wishes to decorate everyone with something unique, unique, "author's", the blessing and variants is enough now — on any purse. But in such situation each chosen picture as the litmus piece of paper reveals presence (or absence) at us taste and degree of our art sophistication. Also has put at all that subjective predilections can expose our aesthetic невзыскательность — if only it was pleasant! — but after all the bought picture needs also organically to be entered in an interior, and it happens uneasy. For this reason more and more people today trust selection and placing of pictures to experts in an interior.

Masterpiece under a carbon paper

— Pictures give, certainly, to an interior a special cosiness, — the designer on interiors, the artist, teacher Irena Tibelius considers. — And it is not so obligatory to have houses expensive originals. Various reproductions, posters, prints — copies of known cloths or posters-photos, original prints with images of the beautiful city landscapes, unusual subjects, landscapes are not less attractive from the point of view of design. However irrespective of, whether valuable it is a family relic or the inexpensive colourful poster, they should be placed there where they will be well looked.

Cautiously, a modernist style!

For example, classical painting is successfully entered in a classical interior with a fireplace, silk wall-paper, furniture from massive wood, crystal and gilding. Bible and antique plots bring an element of luxury and continuity of traditions in the house. Genre sketches can underline an occupation of the owner of the house or hint about sphere of its hobbies. Smart portraits of members of household will give to a family sensation of own importance. And landscapes will remind of favourite corners of the nature, will transfer the spectator from the ordinary to the world of illusions.

It is not less variants well and to admirers of modern styles. Bright vanguard pictures will well add a minimalist interior. Cloths of impressionists and easy water colours with vegetative drawing will decorate conditions in a modernist style. Works such are good not only as a separate work of art, but also as the colour stain giving to any premise special colour.

The passport in a frame

— However, works of art — subjects whimsical, — are spoken by the adviser of art salon Elena Marik. — Some especially valuable copies "dictate" conditions approaching for them. And if you get under their charm, it is necessary to change an interior. Anyway, expenses on a noble frame not to avoid. The frame (baguette) for a picture is all the same that clothes for the person. It should correspond by all means to the size, colour of a picture and style of a room.

The cloths written by oil, do not place under glass. For modern pictures smooth colour frames, and for ancient — carved gilt will approach. A drawing (including a water colour) do not insert into wide frames “under bronze”, and usually place on паспарту (colour fields). Colour паспарту should be in harmony with colour of a picture and a frame. It is possible to insert graphic sheet between two glasses and to fasten clips.

Know the place

— Choosing a picture (a reproduction, a poster, a print), important accurately to represent, for what room it intends, — explains Ирэна Тибелиус. — For example, in a bedroom an optimum variant — the image of colours, and also landscapes and the portraits executed by a pastel or a water colour.

In a drawing room is better the big bright cloths creating atmosphere of solemnity, cheering up are looked. In a dining room still-lifes (the baguette with glass will protect them from the stains which occurrence is quite possible in this premise) are logical. In a hall and an office graphic works and gentle water colours, prints with city landscapes will be pertinent.

To press to a wall

Not less important question: how correctly to place pictures indoors? After all it is competent развешанные cloths will help to underline advantages of an interior, not breaking its integrity.

— It is natural, that the one and only picture in an interior always draws to itself attention, — designer-set dresser Galina Aleksandrova advises. — Therefore single works also place usually on the most visible place. But thus they necessarily should be in harmony with other subjects of an interior.

For example, on absolutely empty wall one cloth will be lost and will seem alien, casual.

Try to find for a picture a place over lunch or a desk, a sofa, a sideboard, a bookcase or a fireplace — as a matter of fact, over any furniture or an architectural detail which visually will help to allocate it. Especially it concerns reproductions or prints of the small size.

The big cloths can decorate an empty wall, but at all in all houses there will be pictures of so impressive size which can occupy all wall entirely.

In narrowness and in insult

If in a room it is a lot of furniture, a place for a picture to find difficult. After all squeezed between regiments, it is looked not too aesthetically. In that case it is better to choose a small picture of light tones. But over fashionable today low furniture it is possible to place any pictures.

Drawing, the water colour, and also modern painting in style pop art are combined practically with any furniture. In this case the cloth can be hung up over furniture on the centre or to displace in one party for the best visual perception. To place pictures preferably on walls with monophonic wall-paper.

Large and bright patterns are incompatible with pictures.

— Make a single picture a part интерьерной compositions, — Galina Aleksandrova advises. — It is necessary, that the cloth supplemented with itself or underlined this or that element of a decor — a vase with the flowers, a floor lamp, a bowl.

Picture family

If it is some cloths, most effectively they are looked in the groups united on subjects, style, technics of execution. Isolated pictures can be inserted into the same frameworks. When between pictures it is not possible to find a link in a case, try to unite them, having arranged inside accurately designated contour.

One more of widespread receptions — to organise small pictures round the large. Such composition indoors with high ceilings will be looked especially advantageously. But it is not necessary to hang up the big pictures in small rooms with low ceilings as on advantage to estimate their colour and a composition it is possible only from distance of two-three metres. For such rooms small cloths will approach.

Pictures in light pastel tones will visually expand a premise. By the way, on ladders and in small rooms it is possible to hang up a landscape with the big depth of the image. It will visually make a premise more spacious.

The size at size

The cloths identical on the size, it is possible to hang out on a wall abreast, equally spaced, and it is possible symmetrically, in the form of "grid". The success of a composition is defined by severity of vertical lines and identical intervals between pictures. Products different in a format it is convenient to have circles, only not “on increase-decrease” is obviously unsuccessful composition. The official kind will be given to an interior by two same pictures symmetrically located, for example, over a sofa or a table …

Rehearsal on a floor

In general experts advise to hang up pictures always hardly more low, than it would be desirable. Especially in a dining room, after all here visitors will consider it, most likely sitting for a table. Designers do not recommend to hang out a picture and on room perimetre (on each wall) is interferes with creation of unity of a composition of a premise.

— Very often pictures, in itself not too interesting, from the neighbourhood with each other win, creating unique combinations of colour stains. However, the return result when interesting products "eclipse" is possible also, "interrupt" each other, — Elena Marik speaks. — to Check up compatibility of pictures it is possible, preliminary having spread out to a floor prospective group of cloths in the conceived order — the sight "from above" will reveal all merits and demerits of a composition.

To see better

By the way, last tendencies in registration of interiors assume spacious placing of each picture that the spectator could concentrate attention to a cloth and without hindrances to estimate its originality. The same purpose is served by illumination though in a light premise it is possible to manage and without it. Nevertheless the system of illumination of a picture built in a frame will give the chance to you to enjoy favourite product all day and night. And if it is necessary to move sometime work, illumination will not need to be transferred.

But keep in mind — illumination of pictures should be as much as possible approached to the natural. An ideal variant, especially for cloths under glass, — dot fixtures, and not with yellow, and with the white luminescence, directed on each picture. To avoid effect of a mirror, use for a picture special glass "antipatch of light".

Vampires from art

Psychologists and experts in painting are assured, that some pictures take away energy from the person while others generously share it. Products concern number of "vampires" in styles of abstractionism, constructivism, a cubism. They are better be not to placing in a bedroom, children's, an office and a dining room — that is in places “constant dwelling” members of household. "Donors", in any premise, creations of artists-impressionists and the realistic cloths written in light and warm tones are pertinent. Prints, posters, collages with the image of children, animal, the sea and sea inhabitants, summer and spring motives strengthen vivacity of spirit and instal optimism.

— The main thing that pictures caused emotions, conformable to character and a way of life of the owner. With the pictures causing feeling of discomfort, it is better to leave, despite their art value, — advises Ирэна Тибелиус.
