Artwork on Walls

Apart from fine art, paintings are always appreciated as decorative items for a home. Paintings are said to tell us more about the owner's personality. For home paintings which contain natural colours and look real are apt.

Mostly, people take a trip around the city, area or an exhibition and on an impulse, pick up a painting or art work of their homes. Even in choosing a painting for your rooms, however, there are certain things to keep in mind. There are various factors that one needs to look into before picking up a frame of art – the furniture, size of the wall, view size, lighting of the room, among other criteria, Landscape are ideal for room that has classical furniture. “If you fit a large painting on a large wall, and view size (the distance of viewing) is not enough, then it can hamper the look of the whole room,” proper lighting is important because “Bad lighting can spoil the beauty of a painting.”

Art lovers should not get carried away by the cost and name of the artist. Money can never give the original value of an art piece. It is always priceless. Only the artist knows the real value. Sometimes good work can be found at very low costs. Only one should have a good taste and some time to spend appreciating art. 

“Keeping in mind the house and its size, colour of the walls and also the choice of the client, paintings are to be suggested. Most prefer paintings of forest, trees and water falls in living room and different creative paintings – sometimes modern art—in the bedroom.” Sometimes people ask for paintings that have a base of Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui, like a painting of Lord Ganesha. Usually contrast method is used while picking a painting. If the colour of the wall is of a lighter shade, the painting should be darker and for darker walls, obviously, light-coloured paintings look good. This way, the entire look of the room is accentuating, without ignoring the space and at the same time the beauty of the art work is not lost Glass paintings are no more in vogue. The new mantra today is to stay natural.

In Bangalore, the demand for works by upcoming artists is growing, which is quite encouraging. People also go in for figurative and abstract concepts, part from landscapes. People also like buying a few accessories that complement the paintings. Silk rosewood and gem stones are other popular styles of paintings. This traditional form of art. So, they are a classic.

There are many myths about the frames that go on the walls of your home. It is said that a painting with dull colours, especially those which represent strokes of pessimism, affects the inmates' mood. Some people refuse to hang a dark coloured frame or picture in their living rooms, fearing a bad omen – a crisis in your home or relationship or even the call of evil. It is also believed that a painting that shows a river, a water fall or a stream, ensures an easy flow of income in the house. And a serene atmosphere like a picture amidst mountains and the sea side, exalts peace and harmony in your home.

It eventually, however, comes down to what the owner thinks feels, likes and wants. Whatever, the reason, a painting does give your room a new face lift.
