Where should I place in my house a seascape painting?

Question

I was looking to buy a Seascape oil painting from one of these: http://www.overstockart.com/seascapes.html I can't decide where to put the painting... does anyone have a good idea of where to place the oil painting? some of the choice I'm contemplating is the bedroom, living room, play room.

Answer 1

I personally think the bedroom is a perfect spot to hand your painting. It is tranquil and serene. Incidentally I like the paintings "Boats at St. Marie" and "Dark Waters", the first is a little whimsical, the second is very realistic, the scene I enjoy most at the ocean, the waves at dusk. My home is decorated in an old world style, lots of natural elements, leathers, woods, stones, etc. . . My bedroom has a different feel but still I wanted to keep the natural elements, I used colors and items such as beautiful shells and seascapes to decorate with. Of course, only you know the decorating style of your home and where the piece would fit best.

Nice paintings u have ur eye on. I draw and paint myself. Im more a sketcher than a painter. I have a couple aunties who live out at the beach. One of which hangs her painting out in the kitchen/dining room...it joins onto it...fairly large spaced. And my other aunty hangs one in her bathroom. It all comes down to which one you have your eye on. I like Afternoon tide, Tide Before the Storm, Waterfront evening & Lighthouse Effect. I'd place the lighthouse painting in the kitchen/dining area & TBTS in the bathroom...im not sure about the rest :)

Take care,

In the north or north-east side of your drawing room or living room. Do you know, according to Feng-shui, if the paintings included waterbody are hung on a north/north-east wall, spreads positive energy in the house.

It is always nice to hang a nice sceen above your couch in the living room. Center it, and at eye level....it will look nice there!
