Did I tell you about my new home? It is still under construction. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about decor, right? I love nature all around, my balcony garden helps with that. I plan to have a vertical garden right in my living room and for the other walls, I want paintings. Beautiful, gorgeous paintings, which will make me weave stories about the artist and the subject and make my home interesting. Paintings are not only unique home decor, but they are also a wonderful talking point. A way to break the ice at parties. It’s also a wonderful way to make your house a home with a distinct personality.
But how do I buy paintings online? I am living in a small town in India and traveling back and forth. I love paintings, but not very well-versed in the nitty gritty of buying art. Luckily, I found a site to buy paintings online. Gallerist is based in India and connects art lovers and artists throughout the world. You can buy beautiful landscapes, florals , Gods and Goddesses, and wildlife paintings, all at the click of a button.
The site has an impressive 900 artists exhibiting on their online gallery with over 3000 gorgeous paintings. This has made my life easier. I plan to have pictures of forests and waterfalls on feature walls.
I selected this beautiful painting of Krishna for the wall next to my puja area. I am a great believer in the power of faith. Puja corner is a must for me!
The Buddha picture will be in our library cum guest room. It’s so serene and peaceful. When I want to curl up with a good book or research something, I want a room which invites concentration.
This painting of a beautiful woman, in traditional dance attire, will grace the living room wall. Art can inspire and lift up the mood of a space. It can create life and ambiance in rooms. So I plan to buy my art pieces with supreme care. Interestingly art is also a good investment. But a lot depends on what you buy!
My daughter loves trains She will love this stunning train painting in her room. Helping Rai explore her interests, is my job as a parent. What she does, with all the knowledge, is Gods will! I think I am set.
Thank God I found this site. Otherwise, my dream of getting paintings for my new home would never come true! I found 8 beautiful ideas to display paintings and I will tell you the 9th one in my next post. That’s a super easy decor hack, to hang paintings with zero stress.
8 Best ideas for displaying art as unique decor
1.Display art along the long connecting hallway. The plain wall which would look boring before now turns into an interesting walkway where your guests will slow down to see or you will smile as you pass.
.
- When you have open spaces with kitchen, dining and living room altogether, paintings help to define each area. The best part, it creates no barrier to airflow or energy flow but helps make the space distinct.
3)This is one of my favorite ways to display paintings. These slim shelves are perfect .you can have as many paintings or as little as you want. Change paintings every day, rearrange them, nothing is a problem. Bonus, there are no headaches of hanging the paintings.
4)A feature wall with a painting in the library, den or recreation room is my favorite. It looks dramatic and gives the place the right creative vibe. Home decor is not just for show. It’s creating the perfect environment for your family to find comfort and creativity to bloom.
5)A dramatic modern art, in the living space in an all-white room, gives it the much-needed color, without taking away the serene look.
6)A nature painting at the end of a hallway makes the space pleasant. Picture of plants and nature are guaranteed to boost the wellness quotient of your home.
- Even if the room is small, you can display a large painting. Just don’t put it, on all your walls. That can make the room appear cluttered. The picture below shows one waterfall picture on a feature wall. That easily lifts the otherwise okay room to wow!
