Introduction
With more and more people now conscious of "living in their own way," interiors can change dramatically not only with furniture and lighting, but also by incorporating artwork. Paintings, in particular, have the power to completely change the atmosphere of a space just by having one on the wall. Furthermore, the process of selecting a piece of art can itself be an opportunity to reexamine your own values, and can become a presence that enriches and colors your lifestyle.
In this article, we will introduce some ideas and practical methods for purchasing paintings and creating a room that is uniquely yours.
1. Paintings are more than just interior décor
While sofas and tables are essentials in life, paintings are not. That is why they are so special. A work of art on the wall not only shapes the atmosphere of a room, but also becomes a symbol that expresses the personality and lifestyle of the person who lives there.
For example, choosing a colorful abstract painting can create an "energetic and free way of life," while choosing a tranquil landscape painting can create a "calmness and healing." In other words, paintings are a "mirror that reflects yourself" and the most intuitive tool for creating a "room that is uniquely yours."
2. How to choose a painting that suits you
(1) Search by your favorite color
If you're not sure what kind of art you want, start by focusing on your favorite colors. If you think about the colors of the clothes you naturally pick up in your daily life or colors that make you feel calm, you'll be able to find a piece that blends in with you effortlessly.
(2) Reflect your lifestyle
By linking artwork to your lifestyle, such as landscape paintings for those who enjoy nature on their days off, or modern art for those who prefer urban living, you can create consistency between the space and your life.
(3) Choose a theme you can relate to
It is also important to be able to empathize with the theme that the artist is expressing. For example, works with themes that resonate with your values, such as "rebirth," "hope," or "freedom," are pieces that you will cherish for a long time.
3. Why painting enriches your lifestyle
(1) It changes your mood every day
If the first thing you see when you wake up in the morning is a painting you like, it will help you start your day on a positive note. Color psychology also suggests that vibrant colors lift your mood, while calm colors have a relaxing effect.
(2) Communication is born
One of the charms of art is that when you invite friends over, they'll start talking about how nice the painting is. Paintings express your personality more than interior decor, so they naturally create an opportunity for communication.
(3) Value increases over time
Paintings gain meaning not just at the moment of purchase, but as you continue to look at them in your daily life, they gain more meaning. By recalling how you felt when you bought a painting, it becomes engraved as a part of your life.
4. Recommended painting styles for each room

5. Tips for enjoying art purchases
(1) Decide on a budget
People tend to think that art is expensive, but in recent years, there has been an increase in original works that can be purchased for a few thousand yen to tens of thousands of yen. First, set your own budget and then look for works that you like within that range.
(2) Search online
Many works are sold not only in galleries but also in online shops. For example, FROMARTIST allows you to purchase original, one-of-a-kind works directly from artists across the country, and you can also search by size and theme. Being able to easily find a work that suits you in your spare time from the comfort of your own home is a way of enjoying life that is unique to the modern era.
(3) Trust your intuition for the first one
When choosing your first piece, it's important to go by intuition rather than logic. A piece that moves you will surely continue to add color to your life for a long time.
6. Creating a room that suits you starts with a painting
You can create a stylish space with furniture and accessories, but adding a painting as the finishing touch will create a room that is truly yours. This is because it adds a sense of attachment and feeling that you chose it yourself, rather than just being a design.
Incorporating art into your life not only enriches your daily life, but also serves as an act of self-care. Paintings have the magical power to bring about big changes in your entire life, even if it is just a small piece of art.
summary
Incorporating art into your home is a key element in creating a room that is uniquely yours. By choosing artwork that matches your favorite colors and lifestyle, and decorating each room with art that is appropriate for it, your life will become richer and more enjoyable.
The important thing is to "trust your intuition and not overthink it." We live in an age where even those with a small budget can find a one-of-a-kind painting that reflects their individuality. Why not start enjoying a "lifestyle that is unique to you" by purchasing a painting today?
