Finding The Right Abstract Watercolor Painting For Your House

By Jerri Perry


When it comes to choosing art pieces for your home finding the right ones can be a challenge if you don't know what to look out for. Choosing an abstract watercolor painting to go with the rest of you decor is a great idea as long as you choose the right one. There are several different factors to consider when it comes to finding a painting that will suit your home.

To start with you will need to consider the colors that you want to be used. These should go well with the rest of your decor and not clash with it. This is something that you want to stand out as the centerpiece of the room not as an eyesore. They don't necessarily need to match the colors that you already have in use but they should go well with them.

There designs can also range greatly from one to the next. Some have very details designs where the artists message is screaming at you from the canvas and you can almost tell exactly what they were trying to convey. Then there are others that are so simplistic and abstract that you may see something different every time you look at it and still have no idea what you are looking at.

The theme of your home will play a huge roll in choosing the one that is right for you. If you have a plain home with very few colors and not a lot of detail then there are two ways you can go. You could choose to continue with the theme you have already gone with and choose something simple, or you can choose to go with a statement piece, a very detailed painting that is full of color and will become the focal point of the room.

The best way to go about getting your artwork is to purchase it directly from the artist. Finding local artists in you area is as easy as heading down to some local galleries and seeing what they have to offer. Alternatively many will have their own websites that you can go and checkout to see what is available.

If you are unable to find what you are looking for in your area, search a larger one. The internet is filled with talented artists from around the world and they all are unique in their own ways. If you still can't find something that is just right you may be able to commission one from one of the many artists out there.

Searching through used furniture shops and thrift stores may be a fools pursuit but you never know what you might find hidden underneath all of that junk. You just might find exactly what you are searching for. The upside to this method is that the cost should be significantly less since you won't be purchasing directly from the artist.

Get a feel for it in your home before making the final decision. You may want to carry a photo of the space where you intend to hang the abstract watercolor painting in, with you as a reference. If you do get it home and decide that it is not right then you may be able to exchange it for one that is.
