If you visit my home, you will see a number of modern oil paintings in my room. There should be no confusion about the quality of the picture and oil paintings. Your space may not even have any distinguishing features like a fireplace. The artwork you choose is where your color palette & personality all come together. Here is how to pick the perfect living room painting.
This can feel a little like a dentist's office just because it's something that is seen over & over. Plus, people will know that it's not an original. If you are set on having a famous artist hanging on your wall pick an unusual piece that not everyone will know.
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.
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. Or find a cheap oil painting frame on yeahart.com.
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. For gift, you can also custom oil painting as gift for someone, or your lover.
