Finding the Right Paintings for You

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.

When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.

Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.

Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.

No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.

Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color

On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by emerging artists and more today.

There are all kinds of stylish earrings and earring styles out there, so there is no need to limit yourself to what other people have decided is popular. For example, no matter the shape, stud earrings add a bit of glam to any ensemble. Stud earrings are simple and usually small in size, making them lightweight and easy to wear. Button earrings come with all kinds of embellishments, from textured gold to diamonds and colorful enamel, and transition easily from the office to out on the town. Chandelier earrings, as their name implies, are decorative wide pendants lit up with gems, and the most coveted are set with diamonds, but there are stunners in gold and pearls as well as enamel.

    All denim was popular during more than one period. In the 1950s, the denim-on-denim trend usually took the form of denim jackets worn over knit tees paired with denim jeans. After fading out of fashion temporarily, the all-denim look reemerged during the late 1970s and early 1980s, with people sporting denim shirts and denim jeans as well as denim dresses and jumpsuits. Double denim became a major trend in the 1990s as well. Some celebrities, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Hailey Bieber and Rihanna, continue to sport denim-on-denim ensembles today. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of denim apparel.

    There are a few reasons why Cartier is so popular. For one thing, the French luxury house is known for its very long history of unparalleled prestige and quality craftsmanship. Cartier has been producing extraordinary jewelry, watches and accessories since 1847. While jewelry lovers have long been enthusiastic about Cartier’s elegant and streamlined designs for bracelets, rings, necklaces and other pieces, the brand is also known for innovation. It pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry, and its artisans were so mindful of trends in fashion that the house became the official jewelry supplier to King Edward VII. Later, Cartier’s Art Deco-era pieces would help define the movement with which they are associated. One of the brand’s earliest major successes was the Santos de Cartier watch, one of the world's first modern wristwatches for men. Today’s influencers continue to help popularize the brand, increasing the demand for certain pieces like Cartier buffalo horn sunglasses and the Cartier Love bracelet, an icon of modernist jewelry. Find a wide range of Cartier watches, jewelry and eyewear on 1stDibs.

    Dior is so popular for a few reasons. First, the French luxury fashion house has a rich heritage. When Christian Dior launched his couture house in 1946, he wanted nothing less than to make “an elegant woman more beautiful and a beautiful woman more elegant.” He succeeded, and, in doing so, the visionary designer altered the landscape of 20th-century fashion.

    Second, many people find the maison's pieces to be visually appealing. Vintage Dior bags, shoes, evening dresses, shirts and other garments and accessories are especially well known today and prized for their feminine and sophisticated sensibility. Celebrities like Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, Eva Mendes and Charlize Theron have also helped Dior remain popular over the years by sporting Dior pieces on the red carpet.
