Decoration Tips

The palette of colors chosen by the Artist for his Painting will most certainly be decisive in your appreciation and therefore in your choice, without you necessarily being aware of it. Our eye is naturally attracted by color contrasts, by "colorful sensations". Intuitively, you will come to know whether the colors delight you, but you may find it difficult to project them into your interior. Here are some ideas to explore, whether you are used to color charts or not.

A Painting can recall the dominant color of an object or a wall, thus creating an overall harmony.

A Painting can bring the touch of color that is missing in your living space.

For a contrast effect, bright colors will be welcome, for a soothing effect in a bedroom, slightly softer colors are recommended. Warm colors like red or yellow can energize or illuminate certain spaces, while rather cold colors like blue or green can bring freshness and well-being.

It is no coincidence that colors are full of meaning, and you can play with that in choosing your Painting and the wall on which to hang it. Passion red, pure white, elegant black, natural green, soft pink. The symbolism of colors will vary from one individual to another, depending on their culture and history, but traveling to the land of colors is always an exciting adventure.

The surface area of ​​the room and the available distance are elements to be taken into consideration when choosing the format of a Painting.

We advise you to pay attention to the dimensions of the wall to be decorated. A small Painting on a very large wall may look "lost" and will not be highlighted. Conversely, a Canvas that is too large in relation to the room may appear imposing and boring. Bodjaro markets only two formats to adapt to the most classic configurations: medium 41x33 cm / 16x13 in' - (called "6F" in French Traditional Fine Art Classification) and large 73x60 cm / 29x24 in' ("20F"), in landscape (horizontal) or in portrait (vertical).

To fix spectator's gaze, you can decide to place the center of the Canvas at eye level. You can decide to raise or lower this height to adapt to an element that you want to highlight on the Artwork.

The important thing is not to respect conventions, but rather to know them so that you can then take pleasure in respecting them or questioning them.

When you choose a Painting to enhance your interior, you can choose to adapt the subjects and the scene represented to the room you want to decorate and the atmosphere you want to create.

Unsurprisingly, still lifes representing oranges or a carafe of water blend perfectly into a kitchen or living room.

Themes inspiring softness and calming can be used in a bedroom.

You can also decide to surprise, to challenge, to disorient by putting a little madness in your rooms, even the most intimate.

Do you have a well-defined decoration and are you afraid of making any a mistake? Listen to your desires and dare to create an atmosphere that suits you. A particularly colorful Painting can bring life to a minimalist interior, a landscape Painting can soften an industrial style decoration, an abstract Artwork can shake up your Scandinavian cocoon. Free yourself from constraints and rules, you are at home.

When choosing a Canvas, it is wise to consider how the spectators will be able to observe it, particularly with regard to the location in the room to be decorated.

In a corridor or in a stairwell, you are on the move, your attention can be furtive and focused on the essential, such as a color contrast, or a sustained brushstroke. On the other hand, in a living room, you sit on a sofa or an armchair. You can study and take a closer look at the Artwork, its details and nuances.

You can also consider viewing angles. Some Paintings will only be visible from the front. For others, viewers will be led to observe the Artwork in profile. In the latter case, the finish will be of particular importance.
