Although leather is quite easy to process, painting is not so easy to handle. This requires an understanding of working with the material, knowledge of the basic properties of leather, considerable patience and perseverance. Therefore, it is recommended to first try to make small test compositions, and then move on to large-scale, fundamental works.

  • Relief – depth, elevations, highlights and shadows create an unsurpassed 3D effect, thanks to which the picture “comes to life”;
  • Availability - small pieces of leather can be found either at home or purchased at a flea market or from shoemakers for literally nothing.

  • When creating a picture for the interior with your own hands, it is best not to be colorful with colors, but to use a tone that matches the design of the kitchen. You should also always adhere to the style of the overall interior design concept. For example, in a classic room, leather goods and linens painted in oil are acceptable. The following materials are suitable for high-tech style: glass, metal, mirror. Provence can be filled floral ornaments and paintings from cereals. Volumetric works look harmonious in modern and combined styles kitchens.
  • The color palette should include three primary colors and several (at the owner’s request) similar shades. Cold tones are allowed to be diluted with warm accents, but you need to take colors from the opposite spectrum.

Color spectrum: correct principles for combining shades

  • For convex shapes, you should always use alternating light and dark tones. Moreover, oversized dark volumes on a light plane look best. The principle of tandem of glossy and matte materials is approximately the same: matte should protrude above the glossy. This way, greater depth of the paintings and maximum 3D effect are achieved.
  • When making paintings yourself, be it applique or drawing, it is important to observe the basic compositional principles, dynamics and balance.

  • The easy way to make the picture original - to bring the internal drawing beyond the basic contour. For example, extend the image onto the frame or, with relief shapes, beyond the border of the frame.

    Be bursting with ideas, create and get creative - let the interior paintings made by yourself please not only you, but also amaze, amaze, and delight your guests! Stylish interior the kitchen and the whole house are the merit of proactive owners who are not afraid to experiment.

Decorating your home yourself is a matter of honor for craftsmen and craftswomen who prefer original and unique interior. Modern trends in interior decoration dictate the use of relatively modest and laconic objects.

Do-it-yourself modular paintings are just such minimalist types of decorations. Their simple geometric shape, the absence of frames, glass and other unnecessary details, allows you to create them yourself.

What are modular paintings?

As the name suggests, these decorative elements consist of several individual parts(modules) that are united by a common artistic idea and are placed on the wall in a certain order.

As a rule, do-it-yourself modular paintings made from photo wallpaper or other materials, just like factory-made products, have a certain thickness. That is, they form a three-dimensional composition. The depth of individual modules can be the same (most often) or different. In the second case, the difference in volume allows you to create the effect of a three-dimensional image.

DIY modular paintings: types

The main material for creating such decor can be used:

  • wallpaper (regular or photo wallpaper);
  • photos;
  • colored paper;
  • textile;
  • canvas.

Products drawn by hand on paper or canvas become truly original. However, the ease of making modular paintings opens up wide opportunities even for those who are far from the world of creativity. When using ready-made painted materials, the main skill required is the accuracy of a home craftsman.

The arrangement of elements can be linear, diagonal or abstract. The modules are given completely different shapes: square, round, arbitrary. True, the simplest one for making a house is still rectangular.

How to place finished products

When thinking about how to make a modular picture with your own hands, you should think about its placement in advance. As a rule, empty areas of walls above sofas, along stairs or between doorways need to be decorated and filled.

The diagram below offers various options for the arrangement of elements of modular paintings, which will also be useful for those who plan to place a large number of photographs or panels.

Paintings on canvas

Do-it-yourself modular paintings, created as an alternative to original canvases, imply the use of high-quality materials and specific technology. The basis for applying the decorative layer is canvas.

Available in art stores wide choose various blanks, including a durable wooden subframe with a canvas stretched over it. The assortment of such stores often depends on the demand for similar products, so find materials in provincial cities may be problematic. The solution is to search and buy everything you need in online stores.

The selected pattern is applied to the finished base using any available technique (oil, pastel). Such modular paintings, made with your own hands, are a real work of art.

In cases where the image cannot be drawn, it can be applied to the canvas using a special printer. A ready-made base with a subframe will not be suitable for this task. You will need to purchase the canvas and mounting for it separately. Canvas printing is a fairly common service offered by many printing houses.

An important point: before you make a modular picture with your own hands, you should carefully plan the location and boundaries of each of its elements. The canvas with the printed design must be stretched on a stretcher, which means that each element of the composition must be printed separately with a sufficient supply of clean canvas around the edges.

Using scrap materials

Unlike the previous method, it is much easier to make modular paintings from wallpaper with your own hands. As decorative material You can use any wallpaper you like, a drawing printed in a printing house, family photographs, portraits of your favorite film artists, or decoupage cards.

For such paintings you will also need a stretcher with chipboard or plywood. You can buy it or make it yourself. Color image lined, cut out and attached to the flat base of the stretcher. For fixation, use special glue, double-sided tape or a construction stapler. The disadvantage of using liquid glue is that the paper softens and deforms, so you should experiment in advance on an unnecessary fragment and select a suitable material.

Before you make a modular picture with your own hands from photo wallpaper, you need to make sure that the finished elements are correctly matched on the wall and create a single plot. Therefore, wallpaper cutting should be carried out taking into account hem allowances. An alternative would be to cover the end of the subframe with another material. In this case, the area of ​​the picture coincides with the surface area of ​​the subframe.

DIY modular painting: master class

Fabric is a fairly popular material for making modular paintings. Its color can be any, at the discretion of the owner of the house. For work you will need the following tools and materials:

  • stretcher;
  • decorative fabric;
  • scissors;
  • meter or tape measure;
  • glue or construction stapler;
  • additional elements (fasteners for hanging, tape for finishing the end, decor).

To cut fabric, it is better to make a pattern according to the size of each fragment. Parts with hem allowances should be cut out carefully, especially if we're talking about about material with a geometric pattern. If you allow a distortion, it will be very noticeable and will have to be redone.

The beauty of using fabric is that you don't have to try to match the edges of the future modular picture. This greatly simplifies the work.

The subframe can be wooden or foam. When choosing the second option, you should refuse to use glue, since it will be almost impossible to achieve uniform sizing of the fabric.

Sequence of work

The cut out fragments are placed on the surface of the subframe and fixed with temporary fasteners at several points (pins or thin nails). Then the workpiece should be turned over, allowances should be placed on the wrong side and sequentially attached to the stretcher. You should start with the long sides, then move to the short ones. IN last resort fold and fix the corners.

It is necessary to avoid excessive tension of the canvas, as this will lead to deformation of the pattern. If desired, the ends can be treated with tape, and decorative elements can be attached to the front surface of the painting.

Lastly, the hinges are nailed from the inside out and then the pictures are hung on the wall.

Not every person decides to hang beautiful paintings in their own kitchen. And this despite the fact that designers highly recommend decorating the kitchen with your own hands. After all, they will be able to bring something new and unusual to this room. DIY kitchen paintings are considered a new trend in transforming rooms.
