On how to choose an armchair for a painting, whylay the skin of the beast under a wooden idol and why the etchings of Dali look great on concrete walls, read in our today's material. This collection of ideas will be of interest primarily to art lovers. To distinguish them is very easy: the interior of this connoisseur is built around art objects and is aimed at maximizing their presence. If this approach is close to you, our advice will be very welcome.
1. The general key
The easiest method is to surround the artworkconsonant with her tones. However, it is not necessary to fill a room with one color, enough of a common background or closely located objects. In the image below - 2 canvases created in different shade solutions. With one agreed sofa, and with the other - a floor lamp, a table and a bass guitar. 
2. Correspondence of forms
Notice how, in the photo belowthe artistic decision of the canvas is played: vases, a table lamp, cushions and even chair bends correspond to it. At the same time, textiles and accessories are made in the same palette as the picture hanging on the wall. 
Mito Melitonyan, architect: «Декорировать интерьеры, если честно, я не люблю, это совсем не мой конек. К дизайну я подхожу довольно функционально, часто оставляя декорирование на усмотрение хозяев, но при этом задаю в интерьере такой тон, для которого подходит только определенный декор. В качестве декора я часто применяю предметы современного искусства, поскольку именно оно мне более всего понятно, несмотря на то, что все свое детство я провел в стенах Исторического музея. Прежде всего важны сами предметы искусства и то, чем руководствуется хозяин в вопросах размещения коллекции. Во всяком случае, искусство нужно выставлять исходя из той эпохи, к которой оно относится: современное предполагает креативные решения, классическое – более строгие. Это первый принцип. Второй принцип относится к масштабности выставляемых предметов. Не стоит вешать на большую стену множество мелких предметов, более выигрышно они будут смотреться в витринах. Правило действует и в обратную сторону: большая картина на стене чуть большего размера уберет всю легкость вокруг нее, поэтому всегда нужно оставлять воздух. Часто мне задают вопрос, как сохранить коллекцию магнитов, тарелочек и прочих туристических сувениров из разных стран. Я стараюсь отговорить хозяев от экспонирования подобных коллекций, но и тут есть один важный совет. Обязательно должна быть система подбора этих самых сувениров. Хорошо бы, если бы они были распределены по темам. Например, магниты в форме контуров стран – отдельно, в форме кружек – отдельно. Формирование коллекции вообще должно подчиняться определенной тематике. Любая подборка, созданная стихийно, без каких-либо принципов, выглядит невыигрышно и не имеет ни эстетической, ни финансовой ценности. Пожалуй, это 3 основных принципа».
3. The Objective Approach
Some art works look especially well atbackground of pieces of furniture and decor. They literally sprout into the interior, spreading to him part of their own artistic value. But in order for everything to work out, you should choose the right furniture that matches the color and decor. 
4. In one style
It is equally important to observe the style matchinterior details and art objects. In the photo below - a modern graphic art work, the lines of which are repeated in a table lamp, and the vase next to it is in a dialogue with the pattern on the pillow resting on the chair. In the photo with the staircase - the same method: a bright modern canvas is emphasized by no less modern staircase of the same shade, but the object of the cultural heritage of a certain ethnos is very well located on the animal's skin. 
5. Window into a different reality
And how else to name the object of art, not as a windowin the consciousness of its creator? By this principle, you can beat the presence of a picture or a photograph. The most effective will be a "window", tinted with the background. 
Mito Melitonyan, architect:“The collection of classical paintings will most likely be exhibited according to the classical canons. At the same time, it is always good to group pictures by size, subject matter and general impression. The collection of modern figurines, I would prefer to divide and arrange in several places in the apartment. It is already important here whether you want every guest to have the opportunity to touch them. If it is wood, stone, metal or other dense material, then this is possible. If this is a collection of dolls, then it is better to hide them behind glass - they will not collect dust. A friend of mine asked me to place a series of Dali's etchings in his tiny apartment. Modern interior - glossy surfaces, self-leveling floor, extravagant painting in the style of Andy Warhol. We hung the entire collection right in front of the front door on a large concrete wall. She looked fantastically beautiful there: black thin frames separated from the gray concrete, varnished, thin, bright drawings of the master. A pair of spotlights from the ceiling - and everyone who entered froze with amazement: the impression was so unexpected. Another friend of mine lives in a 2-storey apartment in the city center. From the kitchen, he climbs a back staircase to a 400-meter loft with dormer windows. Along the entire perimeter, at a height of 50 cm, there is a window sill on which lies a huge collection of edged weapons from African countries. The built-in pitched roof windows provide ample light and the things look very harmonious. It would be possible to place the collection in a certain classical way, by hanging it on the walls, but in this case my friend wanted to be able to literally touch the story. Huge Moroccan carpets lie on the floor, and human-sized wooden African statues divide the space into zones. And everything is subordinated to a common idea: the art of the black continent. I am very good at placing objects from different eras in the same interior. Chairs of the 60s of the XX century with floor lamps of the XIX century or, for example, a vintage English leather armchair with a glass and stainless steel table, will look great. The same applies to objects of art, but they must be combined with great care.
