	mixture
	Avoid monotony. Vary the similarity and harmonic with the opposite and dynamic. Do not mix different lightness, dramatic, colour, form and size too much. It is better to divide the art into small groups of similarities. One group is then placed next to a very different group. If you want to place rather similar groups of art close to each other, separate them with something completely different. More about the size, orientation, darkness and colour.
1. Size	Large paiting on top of small gives a more harmonic solution.
2. Orientation	A lying paiting on top of a standing one gives a more harmonic solution.
3. Darkness	A darker paiting on top of a lighter one gives a more harmonic solution.
4. Colour	Oil paintings are more dominating than water-colours. Thus, oils are more appropriate on the dominating walls and large rooms. Avoid to place oils together with water-colours. The same goes for pencil drawings.
