Paintings for home decor

Paintings, portraits, sketches, and wall art make a very important part of home decor. These elements can really make or break a room! For example, having a painting with a dark background and placing it on a wall with bright, vibrant colours will give the room a weird contrasting feel. And then if one places a bright painting in a rather dull room, it will just not fit right. Thus, it is very important to consider and decide on the right paintings.
So, here we list 6 beautifully minimal paintings that’ll look perfect on soft coloured walls.

2/7

​‘The Kiss’ by Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt's ‘The Kiss’, is a beautiful masterpiece that portrays the feelings of love and intimacy. A very shimmery, glittery and minimal painting, it shows a couple locked into each other’s arms with the colours of pink and the flowers around representing their love and the gold background behind showing the appeal of love in life.
Being a painting of love and compassion, ‘The Kiss’ is a beautiful painting to have in home walls.

​‘Three Pujarins’ by Jamini Roy

Giving the home an Indian touch is Jamini Roy's ‘Three Pujarins’. In ‘Three Pujarins’, Roy paints three women holding objects of puja in their hands, with a very serene expression on their face. The women are portrayed with elongated figures and simple features, which is a characteristic of Roy's style influenced by Bengali folk art. The colours used by Roy, majorly the solid blue, yellow, and hints of red, with the women wearing nose rings has a sense of straight expression to them.

​‘Starry Night’ by van Gogh

A masterpiece by a true master artist, ‘Starry Night’ by Vincent van Gogh is an iconic masterpiece. The beautiful swirls in the sky, the twinkling stars, a lone tree, and a few houses in the background, all give the painting a very aesthetic appeal. And although the painting has many interpretations and meanings, its beauty is unbeatable. Vincent van Gogh's beautiful rounds and circles and the bright colours make it an amazing choice for home decor.

‘La Reve’ by Picasso

Another beautiful painting to hang on the walls is Pablo Picasso's ‘La Reve’ or ‘The Dream’. A beautiful portrait of a woman sleeping peacefully, this painting has light, subdued colours and fluid lines, which makes it exude a sense of calm and peace. The woman, sleeping peacefully, probably dreaming about something pleasant, looks perfectly at ease, with her expressions soft and elegant.
Picasso's minimalist approach to form and composition makes the viewer focus on the beauty of the woman’s dreamlike state.

​‘Glow of Hope’ by S.L. Haldankar

S.L. Haldankar’s ‘Glow of Hope’ is the painting of a beautiful Indian woman, dressed in a pink saree and holding a lamp in her hand. As the surroundings are all dark and pitch black, the lamp she holds gives a light, soft glow to her face and it shines against the darkness.
A very minimal painting, ‘Glow of Hope’ is the epitome of Indian feminine beauty and makes people pause and view it one more time to be able to admire the woman and her deep eyes.

7/7

​‘Woman with a Parasol’ by Monet

A painting by one of the pioneers of ‘Impressionism’, Claude Monet's ‘Woman with a Parasol’ is a soft, serene painting of a woman and child enjoying a day in the countryside. It is said that the woman was none other than Monet’s wife and with her was their son. The painting has soft, muted colours and the energy of spring season to it. The woman’s dress sways to the gentle wind and her hair too flows gently as she looks straight at the artist, Monet.
Monet's minimal painting style allows the viewer to focus on the simple joys of everyday life, and makes it a nice addition to home decor.
