How to Choose the Right Original Artwork for Your Home

Choosing the right artwork is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to transform your home. While furniture defines function and layout, art defines personality. It brings emotion, depth, harmony, and a sense of individuality to your space.

At Next Canvas, every artwork you see is a certified original—painted by hand, never printed or replicated. So when you choose art for your home, you're not just decorating a wall.
You're collecting a piece of someone’s vision, story, and emotion.

Here’s a complete guide to help you choose the perfect original artwork for your home.

Why Original Art Transforms a Space

Original art contains something no print can offer:

Emotional presence

A hand-painted watercolor or an acrylic brushstroke carries the energy, intent, and soul of the artist. It changes how a room feels the moment you step in.

A one-of-a-kind signature

When you hang an original piece, you elevate your space into something personal and meaningful—because there's only one in the world.

Depth, texture & detail

Watercolour transparency, the grain of paper, acrylic texture—real materials bring dimension to your interiors in a way digital prints cannot.

Step 1 — Understand Your Room’s Purpose

Every room has a mood. Your artwork should complement it.

Living Room

A statement piece works beautifully here. Consider figurative or landscape works by artists like Paresh Maity or B.R. Panesar.

Bedroom

Choose calm, soothing palettes—soft watercolours, nature-inspired landscapes, or abstract works with muted tones.

 Workspace / Study

Opt for art that inspires clarity—architectural scenes, monochromes, or abstract compositions that spark focus.

 Step 2 — Choose Your Art Style

At Next Canvas, you can explore:

Abstract

Perfect for modern homes, open spaces, and minimalist interiors.

Figurative

Ideal for creating emotional depth, storytelling, and cultural resonance.

Landscape

Brings tranquillity—great for living rooms, studies, and bedrooms.

Traditional

For homes that appreciate Indian heritage—mythology, folk styles, or classical expressions.

Step 3 — Selecting Colours & Size

Colours

  • Match or contrast with your furniture

  • Choose warm tones for cozy intimacy

  • Cool tones for calmness

  • Earth tones for natural, rustic spaces

Size

As a rule:
Large wall → large artwork
Small wall → medium/cluster

If you’re unsure, a 22x22, 30x40, or 36-inch width piece is a universal fit.

Step 4 — Why Originals Are Worth It

Original art:

  • Appreciates over time

  • Carries an artist’s story

  • Comes with a Letter of Authenticity

  • Makes your home truly yours

At Next Canvas, every artwork is handpicked by curators—so you don’t have to navigate the art world alone.
