Paintings are not just for the exhibition. They can also be a great home decor item.
Whether you are looking to beautify your new home, or wishing to add a dash of colour and elegance to your room for the festive season, a beautiful painting or two, can never fail to make your boudoir appear refined and vibrant.
However, personalised artwork has always been associated with extravagance. This festive season though, you can finally have that breathtakingly beautiful art that will captivate the attention of guests, without burning a hole in your bank balance!
Pankaj Jathar, VP and Country Head, India, of Etsy, an e-commerce portal specialising in selling handmade crafts and artwork, shares some smart tips on how to shop online and give your home an artistic makeover within budget.
Identify Your Style
In many cases, art is subjective. While some may be a connoisseur of paintings that are a celebration of colour and flamboyance, others may swear by artwork that adheres to realism. Or you may be an ardent admirer of abstract paintings that resemble Jackson Pollock’s artwork.
Before clicking the ‘buy’ button, identify your style. Don’t go by trends, trust your gut! Ask yourself: are you into styles like modern block prints, vintage oil paintings, photography, or something else? Find something that will capture your attention every day!
Be Mindful Of Budget
Set a budget. Don’t compromise! When you are browsing, use keywords tool to surface items that match your style (ie. decades or art styles). Once you’ve found that perfect piece, make sure to read all of the details: Dimensions, materials used, and return policies.
Reach Out To Artists
When shopping online, don’t be afraid to reach out and ask any clarifying questions if needed. Contact the designer whose name is listed. Perhaps you’ve found your dream painting but the size or colours aren’t quite right for the space.
A platform like Etsy gives buyers the opportunity to digitally download a lot of the available artwork on the marketplace. Thus buyers are able to purchase items hassle-free without worrying about exchanges and returns and are able to buy the art based on their aesthetic preferences.
