1. Oil paintings should be coordinated with your own decoration style. Simple living rooms with strong modern oil paintings will make the room full of vitality. You can choose oil paintings without frames. For European and classical rooms, choose realistic oil paintings, such as portraits of characters, landscapes, etc. It is best to add a relief frame to look magnificent and elegant.

2. The color echoes the interior wall furniture, and does not appear isolated. If it is a deep and steady furniture style, you should choose a simple and elegant painting that is coordinated with it. If it is bright and simple furniture and decoration, it is best to choose lively, warm, avant-garde, and abstract.

3. The most important thing is of course to choose what you like. In contrast, the others are secondary. It is the greatest value of oil painting to bring you spiritual pleasure and relaxation.

4. Try to choose hand-painted oil paintings. Now there are simulated oil paintings with printed coloring on the market, which will oxidize and discolor over time. Generally, you can tell from the strokes of the picture: the picture of hand-painted oil painting has a clear concave and convex feeling, while the printed picture is smooth, and only partially filled with oil painting pigments.

Cleaning methods for oil paintings

1. Buy a piece of white bread to dry or dry. Of course, dry Shandong steamed buns or Northeast steamed buns are also OK (except for Wangzai small steamed buns). Make it into one or several pieces according to the relevant size of your collection.

2. Define an area and operate on a white plane that is large enough for the work to be cleaned.

3. Cut out the middle part of the dried bread or steamed bun (remember it is dry but not rotten), pat or wipe it on the screen, and repeat. Bread buns can absorb dust and other debris on the screen.

4. Use a soft brush, similar to the kind that paints the wall (soft, softer than a child's toothbrush), and gently put the bread buns on the picture.

5. Finally, ensure that the cleaning work is complete intact, and place the collection safely on a wall or base with good light transmission conditions to ensure that the oil paintings can get the best display.
