When you are deciding to buy oil paintings for your main
residence or vacation home, there are several things you need to keep in
mind as you are making your considerations. Not only on the piece of
artwork itself, but also the entire home. Such things as the decor that
is currently in place and any other types of art that you already have
in the home. This will allow you to give thought to all of the oil
paintings you are considering and also help you in determining what
pieces will match in the space and which options are going to best fit
into the space.
The
first thing to consider is which room the canvas art will be hung in.
If there is very little furniture in the space, choosing the brighter
and bolder colors in the oil paintings you are purchasing, will help the
room pop and stand out. For a room with heavier amounts of furnishings,
something lighter and with a simple or plain design will make for a
subtle effect in the space. You must also consider the colors of the
walls in the room, in order to ensure things will not clash and that the
oil paintings match the space entirely.
The next consideration is
the subject or theme of the art and paintings. Whether it is something
in pastels and lighter colors for a large living or dining room or an
expansive landscape style piece for a bedroom or hallway of the home,
these are just some of the factors to consider as you are determining
what to buy. Of course each home owner will have their own taste and
style, but making sure the theme and colors match the space is key when
choosing the right oil paintings that will fit the space you are
attempting to fill with art.
Making sure to measure the spot or
area you plan to hang a painting in and obtaining the dimensions of the
canvas art before buying it should also be done. Depending on the size
of the room and what other art or pieces of decor are already present in
the space, making sure the oil paintings are not too large (or small
for extremely large spaces) has to be determined prior to the purchase
as well. Writing down the measurements and marking the walls in the home
before purchasing ensures it will properly fit the space.
A final tip when buying
oil paintings for your home
is to choose the material which best fits the space. Whether you choose
art that has been done on canvas or purchase a print of the painting
that has been printed on paper will depend on you personal preferences,
budget, and the overall look of the piece. This is more of a personal
choice and will vary based on the space you are placing the oil
paintings in. Prints will need to be framed under glass and that is
another consideration too.
When deciding on oil paintings for your
home, you should consider these and any other factors which are
important to you personally, in order to ensure you find something you
will truly love and something that fits well into the space you are
displaying the painting in.
