Have you ever wanted to make the entrance of your home more stylish for visitors?
It is a common practice in modern Japan to display paintings in your home.
But where in your room is appropriate to display them? Should it be in the living room, or in the bedroom? Many of you must have wondered "Where should I hang a painting in my room?
In this article, we will introduce the reasons why the entrance is the best place to hang a painting in your home, and the best works of art to welcome you and your guests at the entrance.
The entranceway is the face of the house
The entranceway is the "face" of the house, where everyone who visits the house will see it.
Just as a person's "physiognomy" is reflected in their face, the condition of a house is reflected in the entranceway.
If this is the case, then it is fair to say that displaying a beautiful work of art in the face of the house will raise the level of the house as a whole several notches.
In fact, many homes have smaller paintings in the living room and other areas, but few have bold, striking paintings in the entryway, which can lead to a positive impact when visitors arrive.
What are the best paintings for different floor plans?
Here are three of the best paintings to hang in your entryway. All of these works can be said to have the right amount of flamboyance to be the face of the home, while still maintaining an elegant quality.

About Framing
When you purchase an oil painting, you have the option of framing it or not.
For works on canvas, it is quite common to display them unframed. Some artists even apply paint to the sides of their work, so in such cases, you can enjoy the work including the sides.
Framing can also be expected to improve the durability of the work and give it a more luxurious appearance.
For canvas works, there are further options such as adding only a frame or a frame + acrylic board with transparent dividers.
By making the acrylic board UV-cut, it is possible to prevent deterioration over time = yellowing due to exposure to sunlight to a significant degree.
Furthermore, if you have purchased too many works of art and have run out of space to store them at home, you can store them in a strictly controlled environment under ideal temperature and humidity for 24 hours a day in a warehouse dedicated to art works.
The following are recommended warehouses.
