In smaller spaces, the ideal is smaller compositions, or in one size, larger spaces allow grouped pictures, or in a single large picture with a more imposing frame.”, comments the architect Carla Almeida.

- Also what is very modern are several small paintings, with different frames composition, with family photos, or work of art.

- Another suggestion would be to use a cropped photo in 3 parts, forming the illustration in 3 frames placed side by side.
- wood frames, black or white are the most traditional frames, so as not to make the mistake of not matching the home environment.
- Golden tip to not miss the height: in the eye line.
