The First Step When You Want to Decorate with Art

A 'mindset reform' that involves broadening your perspective and cultivating the mindset of what is necessary for this space, rather than thinking about making it stylish.

~Art isn't difficult at all, volume~

Do you have art in your rooms? This time, for those who are worried about what kind of art they should display, I will share my own theory on how to choose art from a pug's perspective.

The conclusion is, 'personal preference' is fine.
'No, I don't even know what my preferences are.' For those who think that, aren't you thinking, 'I want to decorate something or I have to decorate something'?

Either way, I think it comes from the desire to 'fill' the space because that area (the wall) feels incomplete.
Choosing 'the one' from the countless pieces of art out there is as difficult as deciding on your number one ramen shop, so first, let's narrow down the target.

1. Size (Vertical or Horizontal)

There are various places like above the TV, bedroom walls, etc., but as a beginner, I think it feels right to install it in the center of the 'wall surface' where you are actually decorating, so that the center of the artwork is about 150cm from the floor. If you are decorating above furniture, you will naturally tend to avoid large sizes.
The point is to install it according to the size of the wall, not to match the furniture. You can also apply this to mirrors.

2. Color Tone

First, ask yourself what color tones you like. In my case, it's light blue.
I think that's fine as a conclusion. If your room has a theme color, that's fine too, and if you are using art as an accent, choosing a crisp color like red is also great.
If the furniture in your house is wood-toned and the walls are white, black can surprisingly also serve as an accent.
The art introduced this time is also made of iron, so such 'different materials' also make good accents.

3. Design

'Please look at it from a distance.'
First, take a photo of the room you want to decorate before you start looking. What is important is the 'sense of distance from the art'.
The point is where you view it from. For example, if you decorate this ↓ in front of a desk or a dresser, it will be too close from where you are sitting and you won't understand it.

Once you have avoided the pitfalls, let's choose a design you like.
After understanding the three points above, it ultimately comes down to your own sensibility.
Some people like tonkotsu ramen, others like light soy sauce ramen; there are all sorts of people.
As long as you have the courage to say you like what you like, you'll be fine.

The three points I raised are not about the art itself, but about viewing the 'overall balance' with a broad perspective. It means 'keeping the size of the wall surface in mind'.
In the end, it's about things looking good when the balance is good. Is that what you call human psychology?
I hope this is helpful.
