And last but not least - to feel cozy, safe, and embraced in your home.
So let's get started!

Steps for Decorating a Room with hand-Painted Wall Paintings

First, carefully consider what the focal point in the room will be. Where do you think is the best place to position your paintings? Usually, this is a wall with a large free area or another that draws attention as soon as you enter the room. Consider how much sunlight or temperature variation the chosen place is exposed to. While oil paintings are resistant to environmental conditions, watercolors, graphics, drawings, pastel paintings, and acrylics should not be left for long in a spot exposed to direct sunlight as they fade and get damaged.
Think about the overall style you want for the room. Modern or traditional, minimalist or eclectic? Choose paintings according to your personal taste and preferences for art. It’s good if they harmonize with the main color scheme of the interior, but it’s not mandatory. Sometimes a color dissonance can achieve unexpectedly good effects, so trust your intuition. Ensure that the paintings you will decorate with match the overall aesthetics of the room.
Balance the sizes, i.e. measure the chosen walls, calculate the usable area for you, and decide what size the paintings you will work with will be. They should not be too large so as not to "overwhelm" the room, but they also shouldn’t get lost among the arrangement of furniture and other decorative items.
Decide how you will arrange the paintings on the wall - symmetrically, with equal distances between them, aligned, or asymmetrically if you are looking for an eclectic look. Nothing is mandatory except for your own taste; that decides. Experiment by placing the paintings on the floor, or make cut-out templates of them and arrange, rearrange, until you find your option.
Before hanging the paintings on the wall, consider how well they fit color-wise with the overall interior - carpets, curtains, drapes, upholstery of furniture, and other decorative artifacts, flowers. See what you like in your furniture, what you don’t, what you don’t want to part with, and what you can live without. The more space you clear, the more meaningful art will accompany you in life.
Choose a secure method for hanging your paintings. Consult a home repair expert on how to do this. Whether to use nails, hooks, hanging strips, dowels, and other suitable elements. Because it is very important that your paintings are placed securely and firmly on the wall in your home.

And finally - "voila", enjoy your room - a reflection of your soul! And if you have the opportunity - in terms of space and financial resources, and if art has slowly begun to consume you - start your own art collection. This way you can periodically change the paintings in your home and live in a diverse, creative, and inspiring environment.
