From simple watercolor paintings to digital reprints, there are numerous options which can add an artistic touch to your home. They often come with a frame included. Let’s take a look at a few types that are available online:

a) Nature Paintings for an Enhanced Color Scheme

The calm and composed scenario of nature, when captured in a still frame, instils in us, a sense of warmth and peacefulness. The colour and tone used in nature paintings add to the overall aesthetics of the picture. From milky waterfalls to lush expanses of forests, every painting that is inspired by nature’s warmth has a special appeal. There are several oil paintings and watercolour paintings that take inspiration from nature. You can buy paintings online and even gift them to your loved ones. 

b) Wall Art painting – The Best Plain Canvas

You don’t have to look for a canvas, as the walls of your home can be the best canvas for an artist. From wall stickers to landscape wall paintings, there’s a wide choice when it comes to sprucing your wall with a splash of colours and a dash of life. The range of paintings that embodies a strong sentiment of culture and tradition will be suited for homes that take inspiration from our rich heritage and culture. For example, a painting by Raja Ravi Varma will look aesthetically more appealing when placed in a room with pieces of wooden furniture with traditional interiors. 

c) Still Life Paintings

Breathing life into inanimate objects from reality – still life paintings are yet another option for homes with contemporary interiors. These paintings will be apt for cafes or small restaurants as well. Most of the time, the object of focus in this particular type of painting will be a daily-life, relatable object. From a burning candle to a boat resting on a calm shore, you are bound to find a large variety of still life paintings online.

d) Landscape or Portrait Painting?

Paintings can either be in landscape or portrait format. You can pick from either depending on the space you have. If there is a lot of space or you would like to cover a large area of a wall, then landscape paintings are the go-to. On the other hand, if you are looking for a painting that can partially cover a wall then you can opt for a portrait painting. 

e) Single or Multi-panel Paintings

How an artwork is displayed directly impacts the decor of your house. It maybe a single large picture that looms over your living room wall or a series or pictures that are placed together. Depending on your personal choice and the style of your home, you can choose between the two after deciding which would go well with the decor.
