Living Room Painting, oil painting Frames, oil painting
The artwork you choose is where your color palette & personality all come together. A living room painting can make or break the room. You might live in an apartment & not be able to change your wall color. You probably went with a generic sofa that would match any style. Plus, your space may not even have any distinguishing features like a fireplace.
Go for an original living room painting. You might not think that you can afford original artwork. Hit the sidewalks in the summer & see what artists are showing. You can even browse through local college art shows. Or you can also visit Yeahart.com. Some of the students sell their pieces & you never know who is going to be the next big thing. Just make sure that it is displayed properly so the sunlight doesn't fade it out.
Keep scale in mind. A room may look unbalanced if the living room painting isn't proportional. If you are drawn to smaller living room paintings, buy several for a gallery effect. Remember that this will be the focal pint of the room.
Put your art directly on the walls. The popular thing right now seems to be vinyl artwork that you can stick on the wall. You can even buy these at the dollar store. Keep them in the same area so the room doesn't seem too kitschy. This can save you a lot of money & it's an unexpected living room painting. You may even be able to find an entire tree that goes from floor to ceiling.
Frame it. You don't have to be able to afford a fancy frame for your living room art work. You can always just paint that wall a different color. You can even paint a square centered on the wall & add your artwork in the center. This gives your piece more presence or height.
Light it up. Even the cheapest piece can look expensive if presented properly. Hang an art light over your living room painting so it feels more expensive & important.
