 Green paintings

Have you ever noticed that being in nature gives positive energy and allows you to forget about difficulties? It is a classic effect of green. Some people believe that this color is a symbol of good luck. Thus, many people make a design in green shades. The bedroom in green looks especially great because it is a place where we can sleep, have a rest, or relax. It is also possible to hang the green landscape painting there to double the effect of comfort. By the way, you can make different pictures on the wall, for instance, the beautiful view of the sunny forest. Such decor makes people sleep better and looks amazing. The green design in the living room will not leave anyone indifferent. Be sure, your guests will be impressed! But pay attention to the shade of the green and its combination with other colors. If you choose green as the main color in the design, don’t combine it with bright colors. For example, bright green and bright red may create an aggressive atmosphere and make people angry. This is because people feel anxiety and danger. Combination with light colors, such as white, can make a feeling of freshness and looks very interesting. It creates a pleasant atmosphere. Designers advise us to choose such bright colors because of their possibility to raise people's mood. Pay attention to the landscape paintings, which are becoming more and more popular now.

Which rules should you follow when combining the colors?

Firstly, you shouldn’t combine several bright colors. For example, red and yellow. Such a way affects people negatively and brings a feeling of exhaustion. Try to combine one light and one bright color or two light. When you don’t know which colors to choose, pay attention to the Itten’s wheel. The opposite color is the best way to combine. It is very important to view different pictures of designs on the Internet. Fashion is changing, so you need to always be aware of these changes. If you view them regularly, you will easily create any design. The frame color is also important. The simplest way is to choose it in black, white, gold, or silver. The last two colors make the paintings look more expressive and luxurious. By the way, you also can choose a frame in the same color as a painting but in a lighter or darker shade. 

The color of the painting means a lot and can change the look of the room easily. Follow these rules and be happy with Trend Gallery!
