Eye wall
The "eyes" of the wall

Decorative painting can endow a room with spirituality, wisdom and thoughts, just like a pair of bright eyes can make people full of wisdom and aura. Modern people have more and more professional requirements for home design, and spirituality has become the pursuit of many young and middle-aged people when decorating their rooms. What can combine a spiritual design with a spiritual room is, of course, decorative painting. Nowadays, with the advocacy of many designers, the decoration of paintings has become a fashion. Choosing decorative paintings has become a popular trend for Beijingers to decorate their families. Decorative paintings of different grades can be seen in major building materials and home shopping malls in Beijing.

Painting selection skills

There are many places to sell decorative paintings, such as building materials city, department stores, street shops … you can buy decorative paintings everywhere. What puzzles consumers is which one can better reflect artistic taste and whether it is harmonious to hang it in their own homes. To this end, the reporter consulted Li Boya's professional designers.

Zhang Jiping, a professional designer of Li Hong Boya, said that it is always best to choose decorative paintings and emphasize that you like them. Decorative paintings attract people's vision with specific colors, lines and shapes. Good decorative painting can make consumers create a warm atmosphere between the cold walls and doors and windows in winter. Decorative painting is based on the aesthetic consciousness of the home owner, which can reflect the hobby of the home owner as a whole and reflect the owner's identity, status and personality. Therefore, the choice of painting decoration is the embodiment of personal feelings, emphasizing individuality and avoiding following the trend; People choose me and never follow suit. In the process of painting selection, I would rather make several more plans and consider them repeatedly than rush to place an order. Not all decorative paintings can make the finishing point. If you don't choose it properly, it will obviously conflict with the furniture in your home in color or personality, and the effect may be counterproductive.

At present, there are three ways to buy decorative paintings. Consumers who want to buy high-grade decorative paintings can go to shopping centers such as COFCO Plaza, Saite and Yansha, where decorative paintings are generally more expensive, but the quality is guaranteed. Consumers who like to go to the home city to buy decorative paintings may wish to go to Hepingli Building Materials Economic and Trade Building, Easyhome, and Lan Lijing House of Dazhong Temple, where they can also buy good works; If you are very good at buying decorative paintings, or require special professional consumers, you can also go to the gallery to choose a favorite decorative painting for yourself.

Of course, decorative painting pays attention to the decorative effect. It is suggested that qualified consumers invite professional designers to come to their homes to make overall planning according to the style, color, furniture and other existing decorations of their rooms. For example, in the decoration style of modern classicism, it is necessary to choose the content from the pages of classical stories or characters. The picture frame is gorgeous, generally larger in size, and looks very harmonious with the gorgeous and heavy furniture. Such paintings are generally suitable for luxury apartments or villas; Modern European decorative style is more suitable for the younger generation. When choosing a painting, you should choose light scenery or modern abstract painting, and the production should be concise and lively.

Choose a good location

When decorating the living room, in addition to the decoration style and furniture, decorative painting can actually play the role of the "finishing touch" of the living room, making the whole space full of spirituality. As a part of the overall home design, bedroom decorative painting usually takes the overall layout as a unified reference. It pays more attention to the harmony of image, color, composition and environmental space, and emphasizes the harmonious beauty that echoes with the whole, just like the perfect combination of accompaniment and main melody in symphony.

Chinese painting, watercolor painting and gouache painting are the best choices for Chinese-style room decoration, and the content of painting is also traditional. Freehand brushwork landscape and water town scenery are the best choices, but it should be noted that the maximum watercolor painting should not exceed 59×79 cm. Western-style decoration has fewer restrictions on the types of paintings. If the living room area is below 15 square meters, it is best to choose classical works for hanging oil paintings, such as still life, flowers and figures. Because abstract painting has a kind of tension, small space and a sense of squeezing, it is mostly used in large living rooms.

In modern life, the living room is the most eye-catching place in every family, so the decorative painting of the living room should take decoration as the main purpose; Restaurants must try their best to reflect the mood and atmosphere of "eat if you want to rest" and "eat too much", so decorative paintings with soft colors and appetizing images are the first choice.

Hanging pictures also requires skill.

In terms of painting skills, the designers concerned pointed out that it is enough to form one or two visual points in a spatial environment, leaving enough space to stimulate imagination. In a visual space, if you want to arrange several paintings at the same time, you must consider the integrity between them, requiring the pictures to have the same artistic style, the frames to have the same style, or the same frame size, so that people will not feel scattered visually.

The proportional relationship between the size of the frame and the room area determines whether the painting is visually comfortable or not. Generally speaking, in a room of 20-40 square meters, the frame size of a single painting is about 60×80 cm, and the frame size of a single painting hanging in a corridor or aisle is about 50×60 cm. In the process of room decoration, sometimes there are some places that are difficult to hide, such as switch plugs and wallpaper seams that are not commonly used. At this time, painting can be used to skillfully "fill the wall", adjust people's focus of sight, and turn helplessness into magic. The level of painting position is also a detail that cannot be ignored. Usually when standing, the parallel line of people's viewpoint is slightly lower as the benchmark at the bottom of the picture frame, and the picture behind the sofa should be hung lower. This is a work that needs trial and error to finally determine the best gaze distance. It is important not to make people feel tired visually. Nowadays, hanging pictures is generally easy to hang high.

In addition to paying attention to the size of the painting, some new ways can be incorporated to increase the spirituality of the room. For example, hanging a series of paintings with the same theme and style on a wall will make the whole room look delicious.

Turn "ceiling" into a wall

Usually in the process of decoration, people are used to thinking that the ceiling is the ceiling, so it is necessary to hang a ceiling lamp and take a plaster line to look like a formal room. Decorative paintings on the ceiling? This idea is a bit odd! But according to the designer, if there is no chandelier on the ceiling, it will be regarded as an ordinary wall, so fixing the decorative painting on the wall will not be considered a very strange thing, and in practice, because the decorative painting screen is washed down, it is not easy to drop dust, and it will also play a role in improving the room. If the actual height of your home is limited, hanging simple or abstract decorative paintings on the top of your bedroom, lying in bed will give you a source of inspiration, and you will feel that the room is "higher", which is also a wonderful way to adjust the low room.

There are many kinds of decorative paintings.

According to the designer, there are three kinds of decorative paintings on the market at present: one is the mainstream printing decorative painting; One is a decorative painting mounted in kind; One is hand-painted decorative painting. Hand-painted decorative paintings have high artistic value, so they are also expensive and collectible, but those hand-painted paintings that lack artistic value are rarely visited now; Physical decorative painting is a new type of decorative painting with some physical objects as its mounting content. Some decorative paintings mounted with China traditional knife coins, jade or porcelain are welcomed by some people. Printed decorative painting is the main product of decorative painting market, and it is a limited edition painting selected by publishers from painters' works. But at present, pirated decorative paintings are impacting the genuine decorative painting market like pirated CDs.

Pirated decorative paintings flooded the market.

Ordinary people are willing to buy cheap goods, but for decorative paintings, cheap is not good, especially some pirated decorative paintings. In order to reduce the production cost, the production technology and materials are relatively rough. After such paintings are bought home, there will be quality problems such as page dropping and cracking in a quarter or even a few days, and the after-sales service of pirated paintings can hardly be guaranteed.

At present, two painting companies, Jin Kui and Lanmai, insist on making authentic decorative paintings in Beijing. Every year, they get many excellent works from foreign publishers. According to the designer of the company, first of all, from the appearance, the difference between genuine and pirated decorative paintings is that most pirated paintings are not well-made, and the corners of the frame are mostly made of simple right-angle technology, which has a great bargaining margin; Authentic decorative painting suppliers will mark trademarks on the back of painting cabinets and provide design services and after-sales services.

The new decorative painting is fashionable and attractive.

Decorative paintings have appeared in the market for several years. Although traditional decorative paintings still occupy most of the market share, some new decorative paintings also appear frequently in the market and are more popular with young people nowadays.

The new watercolor painting, favored by some avant-garde and fashionable young people, gave up the hazy artistic conception such as the theme of water town. The painting shows the city scenery and modern people, with bright colors and strange composition, and incorporates abstract and decorative techniques. This decorative painting is suitable for hanging in the living room, as well as in fashionable study and dining room.

At present, a new decorative painting has appeared in the market. These decorative paintings are three-dimensional, with raised colors, distinct layers and hard touch, just like the colored paintings of ethnic minorities. According to a friend who specializes in craft products, this kind of painting is called flower mud painting, which is made of colored mud. It has been very popular abroad, and it has just emerged in China. Because the space of the house is relatively high, there is no ceiling, and the walls are covered with large and small floral paintings and semi-finished products, it still feels very empty, so the shopkeeper spent dozens of yuan to buy bionic rattan leaves and melons from the market, and then pulled them into strips and strings with fine wire, and suddenly the whole room was full of artistic atmosphere.

Decorative paintings are often replaced with new ones.

The so-called "human space" is to make corresponding adjustments with the changes of residents' feelings or tastes, so that people feel comfortable, rather than accommodating the environment. Therefore, the decoration on the wall needs to be changed frequently. Decorative painting can make the finishing point and brighten the room, aiming at seeking the humanistic connection between the environment and people. If the living room is dominated by bright straight lines, smooth curves and jumping colors, then a pair of decorative paintings with high color saturation, smooth lines and strong contrast can be more integrated with the living room environment.
