You often catch yourself on a though what to give to your friend as a gift for a holiday. Sometimes it becomes a very hard task. Have you ever though of an art painting as a gift? May be you have though about that, but never gave your friend an art painting, because it was not easy to choose a painting that suits to your friend’s taste and house.

This article will give you some ideas of how to choose a painting to your friend.

First of all you need to visit your friend’s place if you have been there. While you are at your friend’s place pay attention to the decor of his/her house. What style predominates in the house? Pay attention to the style pieces in your friend’s place. Does he/she likes antique statuettes? May be your friend likes oriental style? What colors predominate in your friend’s place?

Find a place for a painting. While you are at your friend’s place find a place for a painting to be hung. It can be rather hard, especially if the walls are already decorated with art paintings. Do not purchase a very large piece of painting, you’d better choose a piece of painting that can be displayed with other pieces. But in this case remember the style and colors of the pieces your friend already has in order to choose an art work that will suit to the others.

Notify what colors predominate at your friend’s place. Actually there is a common rule that a room may have not more than two strong colors. For example if a room has a lot of blue color of different tints, then choose a piece of painting that also has these tints or a combination of blue and green tints. If the room doesn’t have bright colors then choose a piece of painting that has bright and “live” colors and vise a versa.

WE should stop one more time on the style of the decor. You should choose a piece of painting that fits the decor of your friend’s place. If your friend prefers Victorian style or has a lot of antiques, then choose a piece of painting that will suit to this style. May be your friend likes flowers and home plants very much? Then choose a painting with flowers or with a picturesque landscape. And do not ignore a frame! A frame is a part of an art work too and it also should fit to the common style.

You are very lucky if your friend is an admirer of modern style. In this case you will find a piece of art for your friend easily. The most important point is to choose a piece of painting that won’t be “lost” in the common decor of your friend’s home.
