If you decide to decorate your space, but don’t know how to make a picture with your own hands, where to go and what to grab, this article was created just for you.
First, you need to decide in which room and on which wall you want to see this decorative element. Enter the room, look around, note for yourself what colors, shades and textures predominate? Is the light warm or cold, how does it fall? What is the mood of this room, how do you feel it?
Already at this moment, some individual ideas, images or color palettes will begin to pop up in your head. At this stage, you can close your eyes and try to imagine a sketch of what you want to see, in as much detail as possible.
The first and most important step has been taken, inspiration has already crept up, all that remains is to call it even closer, and for this you can use various Internet resources, magazines, as well as the works of other authors. Perhaps it is at the moment of looking through the pages or looking at the pictures that the same idea will come to mind.
What to do with the chosen idea?
Suppose the finished picture in the brightest colors has already been drawn in your imagination, but what to do next? And then you should soberly assess your capabilities and abilities, are they enough to accomplish your plans?
If the answer is “Yes,” then you can safely move on to the next point, and if not, then you should think a little and either simplify the idea you came up with, or strive through the thorns to the stars to that very ideal. In any case, everything will definitely work out.
When you are absolutely sure that you can make that very picture with your own hands, you should think about the materials. What should it be made of, what texture?
Think carefully, do not let go of the image from your fantasy and try to touch it and understand what it feels like. Smooth, rough, embossed, soft...
When you have a clear idea of the materials, you can safely purchase everything you need.
