5 ways to organize paintings and photos in the living room
There is no denying it: one of the decoration trends that most resist the passing
of time is the placement of pictures and photographs on the living room wall. Get
to know 5 ways to do it in yours.
Although it’s one of the most used trends in interior design, it’s also one of the most complex in terms of organization. You can indeed put photos in frames and arrange them in strategic locations in the room, but you don’t find the same ease in case you hang those objects on the wall.
Besides this idea, you can use others that make the difference in your home decoration. But for now, let's focus on organizing pictures and photos on the living room wall.
How to organize pictures and photos on the living room
wall: 5 ways to do it
Before choosing the way to organize your memories, you must realize that
keeping the balance between objects is crucial. With this, we want to explain to
you that you must consider the size of the wall you want to decorate, as well as
the distance you will leave to the floor and the ceiling.
One of the simplest ways to find the ideal balance is to choose the most central area of the wall. Of course, you don't need to measure the exact distances between both points, but you must have a sense of these distances. With the following ways of organizing pictures and photos, we’re sure that the task will be simpler.
By arranging the pictures and photos (or just one of those) in a rectangular shape,
you ensure that all spaces are properly filled in and that none are "empty". This
happens because there is always one "central" part, which should be larger than
the others.
Choose a larger photo/picture to put in the center of the composition which will
be built around it. You can play either with rectangular or square frames.
2. In cloud shape
Organizing pictures and photos on the living room wall in a cloud shape works
very well with other trends, such as the interior design in pastel tones. This is a
freer way to arrange pictures and/or photos, especially if compared with the first
one.
The only reference to take into consideration in this case is the alignment of the frames with its lower base. This means that no matter where you want to hang
the pictures and/or photographs, you should always align them by their lower
edge it’s clear that you don’t need to use the same size frames, not least
because it’s advisable not to do so.
3. Frames of different sizes
We know that, as soon as you think about organizing different sized pictures and
photos on the living room wall, you are most likely to find that the layout won’t
work but you couldn't be more wrong.
The important thing is that you don't leave empty spaces, allowing the frames to
be placed side by side. Therefore, in this case, it’s advisable to choose frames
and/or photos of different sizes to get the desired effect. Thus, the frames end up
being organized asymmetrically.
4. Do not hang, lean instead
Another original way of organizing, for example, a larger picture or photograph is
by putting it against the Wall a great idea even if you want to decorate the living
room in an industrial style.
Just as you would lean a mirror against a wall, you can also lean a big frame. At
the same time, you can hang smaller frames around this element to fill the living
room wall. Of course, we leave this decision up to you.
5. Draw a square
One of the simplest ways to organize pictures and photos on the living room wall
is to form a square. Besides this general arrangement, you can even choose only
square frames to make the process simpler.
By choosing this layout form you guarantee that, regardless of the pictures and/or
photos you choose, the final layout will work extremely well. However, it’s
important to keep in mind that you should find the ideal balance between frames,
without ever leaving too much space between them.
With these ways of organizing pictures and photos, your living room will get a
new life..
Choose only one of the ways that we have shown you and avoid combining them,
as you can ruin the harmony you’re seeking.
Don't worry if you don't want to pierce the wall, because you don't need to.
Instead, you can choose other fixation options such as adhesive mass, velcro,
and even double-sided tape.
The most important thing is that, in the end, you identify yourself with the
decoration you have just created.
