One of the best options for decoration are paintings, from them you can understand the essence of a person, his preferences, dreams, aspirations and desires. The main thing with this decoration is to create the right visual range, to avoid bad taste.

Canvases, photographs, children's drawings - everything will do. However, all works of art do not have a common standard. They differ not only in images, but also in size, shape. There are established general rules, observing which, harmony is achieved. The first condition is to place the picture at eye level.
