Art is a form of self-expression. We have evidence to prove the art has been used by people of all civilizations and centuries since the beginning of times. Be it the caves of the cavemen or ruins of The Indus Valley civilization, the oldest known civilization of the Indian subcontinent, art has been a recurring and prominent aspect.
Art has been all prevalent, especially in the form of paintings. Over the course of centuries, the whole of the world has witnessed a major shift. From religious upheavals to political transformations and scientific and technological advancements, the face of the world is no longer what it used to be.
Everything that happens around or within us become a muse for those who use art as a means of escape. Even people who themselves do not paint resort to the medium of paintings to express themselves.
Every place you go to, you will find paintings hung on the wall or kept in a corner, on a table or on the floor. Each painting has a different story to tell. Each hue, each texture and stroke is a result of something extraordinary and invokes various different feelings.
In fact, there is no need to go any farther than your own house. We are sure that there must be at least one painting in your house, if not multiple.
Well, the thing with paintings is that they add life to your room. The colours and the depiction are sometimes the best things that could be used to further enhance your theme or idea surrounding the room. In fact, paintings can help you remind yourself better for your goals and dreams. They have the power to bring good luck, blessings, and love.
The right kind of painting will help you uplift yourself by adding shades of happiness to life. With this post, you will be able to decide how to choose paintings according to rooms so as to derive its maximum impact on your life.
1. Drawing Room
Your home’s drawing room is the first place which you come in contact with when you enter your house. Similarly, anyone who comes to your house is first greeted by your drawing room and if the guest is a formal one, they tend to sit in there itself. Thus, drawing rooms hold a special position when it comes to rooms of a house.
This place should showcase a painting that is extravagant and embedded with beautiful hues. Running horses are said to have a positive impact. They bring in luck, charm, happiness, and money. You can choose one from various shades and textures in which they are available these days.
2. Living Room
As the name suggests, the living room is that part of the house where you spend the most time of your waking hours. It is like a small family space which sees all the laughter and playing.
When it comes to the living room, a painting that depicts continuity should be preferred. After all, you want love, happiness, and good times to stay in your home forever.
Thus, a painting of a waterfall will prove to be the best. The waterfall is the perfect illustration of continuity, blooming new life, and giving a definite rotational characteristic.
3. Dining Room
Surrounded by big buildings and traffic and pollution, this city life is taking a toll. Our lives are busy and we hardly ever get to live away from the hustle-bustle of the city. Hectic schedules, office work, ever-increasing traffic and pollution, and the continuous cycle has left has craving for the countryside where peace still prevails.

Your first and last moments of your day are spent in your bedroom. This place is what you go to for solace. Your bedroom is the one place which can actually and truly depict your likes and thoughts, especially if you live in a joint family.
Nature plays an important role in our life. Especially in today’s world, when we are so surrounded by technology that we hardly get to spend any time in nature’s lap.
This painting with a couple of strands of flowers is subtle yet powerful. Not exactly prominent in shades, the painting has a cooling effect to it due to its minimalistic nature. However, when you look closely, you will see naturist shades lingering at the edges of the flowers, making a powerful statement.
5. Kitchen
Kitchen is said to be the central point of your home. When it comes to decorating a kitchen, most people only make use of fancy cabinets and latest backsplashes. But what most people forget are paintings.
Unlike other parts of the house, you are very unlikely to come across a house that has a painting hung in the kitchen.
Most people like to start their mornings with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. If you too fall in the same category, then this painting of coffee beans and brewed coffee will be loved by you and your kitchen.
6. Kids Room
Kids are innocent little creatures who fill our lives with happiness. They have the sheer power to bring a smile to our face even after we have had the worst day possible.

This painting shows animals, not exactly in their natural state, but made to look child-like. This will give your kids a chance to enjoy the proximity without being scared.
7. Prayer Room
While we are all taught about the omnipresent nature of God and also that he resides within us as well, there still are rooms in our house dedicated to God. Termed as prayer rooms, these rooms have a purpose of themselves to offer.
Just like any other room of the house, it is also important to have paintings in your prayer room. Since the whole room is dedicated to offering prayers, walls can be a part of it.
8. Meditation Room
Meditation helps us maintain a balance between our internal and external happenings. Yoga and meditation improve our mental wellbeing, enhance focus, increase concentration power, and works wonders for our spiritual and emotional turmoil.

Sometimes true inspiration comes when the setting is totally dedicated to what you are learning.

If you are a dancer yourself and practice, or you are a teacher and take dance lessons in your house, then a painting to match the whole vibe becomes essential.
This set of three abstract paintings depicting dancing ladies is a perfect way to keep yourself focused on what you need to do.
12. To-Be Mother’s Room
While it is pretty obvious that to-be mothers do no sleep in a separate room, their regular room does need a little different painting than a normal bedroom. It is said that what you eat, speak, and watch, your child moulds according to it.
Hence, what better a painting for your room could be than a painting of this cute little child while looks ready to be smitten by our kisses. Waking up every day to see the face of this cute baby will make yours just as cute and charming.
