Selecting an oil painting isn't just about picking something beautiful — it's about choosing a piece that reflects your personality, enhances your environment, and brings lasting joy.
At SonarArt, we believe art should feel like it belongs in your life. Here’s how to find that perfect match for your space.
1. 🏡 Consider Your Room’s Purpose
Living Room: Choose a piece that sparks conversation. Abstracts, large-scale landscapes, or expressive portraits can set the tone for your home.
Bedroom: Go for calming palettes — soft brushwork, minimalist styles, or gentle nature scenes to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Office or Study: Select paintings that inspire focus or creativity. Architectural subjects or philosophical figurative works can add both style and substance.
2. 🎨 Match or Contrast Your Color Scheme
You don’t have to find an exact color match — in fact, contrast often brings more character. A warm-toned painting can bring life to a cool-toned room, and vice versa. Look for one or two shared tones to create harmony without blending in too much.
“A well-chosen painting doesn’t just decorate the wall. It completes the room.”

3. 📏 Choose the Right Size
-
Small walls or narrow spaces? Try a vertical piece or a pair of miniatures.
-
Over the sofa or bed? Go large — your painting should be around two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it.
-
Gallery wall? Mix medium-sized works for a dynamic visual story.
4. 🧑🎨 Find a Story That Speaks to You
Every painting in our collection is created by a real artist with a real vision. Read their stories, feel their brushstrokes. Whether it’s a misty mountain scene from China or a fiery abstract from a Berlin studio — choose what moves you, not just what matches your couch.
