How do you choose paintings that are right for your home?

From grand, sweeping landscape paintings to adorable, custom-painted portraits of your favorite pooch, when it comes to choosing paintings for your home, it’s all a matter of personal preference. However, the right painting can also do wonders to enhance your art displays and living decor. Here are a few things to keep in mind to help you find the right pieces on Etsy: Size: A painting that’s too small may look lost on a big, empty wall, while a painting that’s too large might overwhelm rooms with limited wall space. Measure your wall areas beforehand to get a clearer picture on what size painting will fit just right. Color: Opt for paintings with a particular color palette to help set the mood of your room. Wall art in soothing blues and neutral tones are ideal for creating a calming aesthetic in your bedroom or bathroom. Or find an abstract painting in bold, bright crayon hues to add a splash of vibrant energy to your dining room or rec room. Texture: A painting’s texture can impact its overall look. Choose from rich, densely textured oil paintings on canvas; high-gloss acrylic paintings ; or soft, sheer watercolor paintings —or create visual interest with a mixed media painting with different textures. Style: Choose paintings that complement your home’s style. You might want an eclectic combination painting to add flair to your modern living room. Add a floral watercolor painting to your farmhouse kitchen for a touch of country coziness. Enhance your formal dining room’s decor with a dark and dramatic oil painting. Or add a bold and edgy spray paint piece to create a conversation piece in your entryway.

What types of paintings are popular?

Sellers on Etsy offer a wide range of paintings to help any room in your home look picture perfect—from creative, ready-to-ship artworks to custom-painted pieces. Here are some popular types to consider: Watercolor paintings: With pigments blended with water, watercolor paintings are known for their light, thin-bodied texture, and softer hues and tones. Oil paintings: This type of painting uses thick, creamy, oil-based paints to create a smooth, dense texture, usually on canvas. Acrylic paintings: Made with acrylic paint—a pigment suspended in a polymer resin—acrylic paintings can look as transparent as watercolor paintings or as dense as oil paintings, depending on the mixture used. Abstract paintings: By using lines, colors, forms, and shapes, abstract paintings are based on conceptual designs rather than recognizable figures and images. Gouache paintings: Pronounced “gwash” (like “squash”), gouache paintings are slightly more opaque than watercolors, are characterized by their full, flat color coverage, and dry to a matte finish. Encaustic paintings: This type of painting uses pigments mixed with hot liquid wax to create a unique, texturized look. Encaustic paintings are often made on wood or canvas.

What are ideas for how to display paintings?

Whether you’re looking for ideas on how to style a personalized gallery wall or tips on creating Parisian home decor with oil paintings, sellers on Etsy offer a world of creative possibilities to explore. Build a gallery wall in your living room, bedroom, or any other area with a large wall space using a variety of subjects. They could be an eclectic blend of still lifes and abstract works, or a visually intriguing mix of mediums like oils, watercolors, and encaustic pieces. Or fill wide wall areas with a giant mural painting in a vibrant, abstract design or a beautiful landscape. Want to add a creative touch to your kitchen? Hang canvas paintings of fruit, vegetables, or other foods to give culinary workspaces a delicious pop of color and style. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, home offices, and other areas with limited space are ideal for hanging smaller paintings. Place a quirky abstract painting over your toilet, or decorate your office walls with an assortment of small, elegant ink paintings .

Do paintings make good gifts?

While paintings can add a unique touch to your home, they also make wonderful gifts to give to friends and family for any occasion. Etsy sellers create all kinds of paintings, so you’re sure to find a piece of artwork anyone will adore. Surprise art aficionados with a gorgeous painting that reflects their interests—whether it’s a digital print of their favorite sport or a stunning watercolor of their favorite flowers. Custom paintings also make wonderful, one-of-a-kind gifts. Wow new homeowners with a customized house portrait. Or work with a talented artist to create a beautiful portrait in your friend’s or family member’s likeness as a memorable and meaningful gift they’ll love.
