This Awe-Inspiring Painting Arrangement Is Also A Brilliant Storyteller | See Why...

August 24, 2024 in Decorating, Designing

As if I haven’t already posted enough about wall decor, I thought I’d go ahead and post some more.

While I’m becoming quite interested in the use of vintage portraits in an interior, groupings of small oil paintings are equally intriguing.

These groupings can make quite a statement and create a very personal feel.

Landscapes, animals, florals... No matter your interest, a collage of any one type of subject matter, will show off your passion, perfectly.

My mother-in-law — a painter herself — has a collection of small oils she’s picked up throughout her life’s travels from street vendor artists from around the world. The way she’s arranged them is really quite intriguing. It captures the story of her life, beautifully symbolizing where she’s been and what she’s done. It promotes conversation and let’s anyone who visits understand the depth and breadth of her personal life, almost at a glance.

Let’s take a look at some interesting collections of paintings in gallery walls.

Oil paintings with sketches and a few framed mirrors make for an interesting wall collection.

 

Groupings of small oil paintings like this are interesting and fun. You can add to them over the years with no worry about matching frames, sizes or styles.

 

Love the contrast of something abstract with a more traditional landscape and street scene. The colors used, ties them all together.

 

A portrait popped in to a grouping is always makes for an interesting combination.

 

Two portraits and an abstract painting fill out this wall behind a seating group.

 

This gallery wall with art butted together randomly is a sophisticated look.
