Let the paintings take a back seat - 6 tips for decorating with paintings without nails!
Picture walls are a great idea, but if you want a new way to display your paintings, there are many different ways to do it. Below we list some tips for easily decorating with paintings, without having to use nails, hammers or measures.
1. Place one or more paintings on a dresser, cabinet or sideboard
To bring life to a side table or dresser, a painting is a great addition. Let the frame match the same color as different parts of your dresser, such as the handles or legs. This will create a common thread throughout the interior. For a more vibrant impression, you can also combine a larger painting with a smaller one. Add your favorite candlesticks and some plants, and you have a winning concept standing on your dresser.
2. Place the boards on the floor
In the past, it was felt as if you had just moved in if the paintings were on the floor, but over the years the trend has grown strong. Combining large and medium-sized paintings creates a wonderful dynamic. Do you want to make a powerful impression? Buy large paintings in, for example, 70x100. It will definitely attract eyes!
3. Painting in the window
For many years, windowsills have been dominated by plants and candlesticks, but now small posters and paintings have also started to compete. If you combine posters with other decor such as newspapers, books or candlesticks, it will create a lovely cozy feeling.
4. Chalkboard on the kitchen counter
If you want to avoid drilling into tiles, a nice alternative is to decorate empty spaces, such as above the kitchen counter, with smaller paintings. Not only does it look more fun, it's also much more personal.
5. Paintings on the desk
In these times, many people spend their time in front of their desks at home. To maximize the cozy feeling, you can decorate your desk with smaller posters. It can be a beautiful nature motif to dream away to or an inspiring quote. The possibilities are endless, but the cozy factor is a fact.
6. Painting over the fireplace
The area above the fireplace is a perfect space to use to maximize the homely feel. A portrait painting combined with cut flowers can be a nice touch to create a cozy room. Throw together a hot chocolate and light a fire and the coziness level is at its peak.
