Paintings are an essential element to give personality and character to a space. However, choosing and positioning a work of art requires attention: some errors can compromise the aesthetic effect and harmony of the space.
To avoid missteps, here are the 7 most common mistakes to avoid when decorating with 3D artistic reproductions from Materico.it.
1. Choosing works that do not harmonize with the furniture
A painting can be beautiful, but if it doesn't fit in with the style of the room, it risks appearing out of context. Avoid choosing works only for their artistic value without considering the colors, materials and mood of the room.
How to avoid it:
- Match the colors of the painting to the elements of the room.
- Choose works with a style consistent with your decor.
2. Hanging pictures too high or too low
A common mistake is to place paintings at the wrong height, making them difficult to appreciate or creating a visual imbalance.
Golden rule:
- The center of the work should be approximately 150 cm from the ground, at eye level.
- If the painting is on a piece of furniture, keep a distance of at least 20-30 cm from the top edge.
3. Filling the walls with too many paintings
Too many works on a wall can create visual confusion and make each individual piece lose value.
Practical advice:
- If you want to display more paintings, opt for a harmonious composition with balanced spaces.
- If the work is large and impactful, leave it room to stand out.
4. Ignore the lighting
Light is essential to enhance Materico.it 3D reproductions. Incorrect lighting can flatten details or create annoying reflections.
Solutions:
- Use adjustable LED spotlights to illuminate paintings without dazzling.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time.
5. Choosing dimensions that are not proportionate to the space
A painting that is too large in a small room can feel overwhelming, while one that is too small on a large wall risks getting lost.
Suggestions:
- Above a sofa or bed, the picture should be about two-thirds the length of the piece of furniture.
- In corridors and narrow spaces, opt for vertical works that make the space look slimmer.
6. Using unsuitable frames or not matching them together
Although Materico.it reproductions do not always require a frame, if you decide to use one, choose carefully. The wrong frame can distract attention from the work or clash with the environment.
Advice:
- If the painting has a strong visual impact, a minimal frame is the best choice.
- If you create a wall with multiple paintings, maintain consistency in the frames.
7. Forgetting the meaning and emotion of the work
Art is also emotion and narration. Don't choose a painting just to fill a wall, but find a work that represents you and that evokes emotions.
How to make the right choice:
- Think about what you want to convey in that space.
- Choose paintings that have a personal meaning or evoke positive feelings.
By avoiding these mistakes, you can decorate your home with Materico.it 3D paintings in the most effective and elegant way. Each work will become a focal point that enhances your spaces and reflects your personality.
