A single-panel painting is the simplest way to dress a wall: one canvas to hang and no gaps between panels to measure. If you want a wider effect, see also the two-panel paintings and the multi-panel paintings, or the whole category of modern and abstract paintings.
Styles and subjects: abstract, flowers, trees, landscapes and faces
Abstract paintings. They are the largest part of the category: fields of colour, texture, lines and gold details. Among the most chosen are Abstract painting – Orange Eruption, Canvas painting – Golden Seam and Canvas painting – Golden Drops. For a darker wall there is Decorative painting – Dark Layers, for a warm room Decorative painting – Warm Tones, while Canvas painting – Texture and Movement plays with texture and the movement of the brush.
Flower paintings. Art for wall – Flowers III and Wall Art – Blossom in Red II bring colour without crowding the room. Similar subjects are collected in the flower paintings and, for a bolder accent, in the red paintings.
Trees and landscapes. Wall art – paintings – Lonely Tree and Art for wall – Family Tree are among our most wanted tree paintings; Paintings – Path through the Forest and Wall art – paintings – Autumn Walk 3 bring the forest and autumn indoors, and Paintings – Rainbow opens the wall to the sky. More ideas in the tree paintings and the tree of life and the landscape paintings.
Faces, figures, cities and animals. Canvas painting – Face is a modern portrait, Canvas painting – The Saxophonist a music subject, Paintings – Horses one of our paintings with horses and Paintings – City at Night a city at night. Subjects like these give character to a hallway, a study or a café.
Which painting for which room
Living room. Above a sofa, landscape formats or a large square work best. A landscape such as Wall Art – Sunset at Sea or a quiet scene such as Art for wall – Bench makes the wall look wider. Every painting in this category suits a living room; more suggestions in the paintings for the living room.
Bedroom. Above the bed people usually choose a calm subject with flowers, trees or water, for example Paintings – Cherry Blossoms or Paintings – Lake. See also the paintings for the bedroom.
Hallway and entrance. Narrow walls call for a portrait format such as Canvas painting – Green Dress. The hallway paintings have more tall, narrow formats.
Office. Neutral tones and gold details stay elegant for years: Decorative painting – White Forms and Decorative painting – White and Gold are two examples. More suggestions in the paintings for the office.
Kitchen and dining room. A sociable subject like Paintings – Wine Glasses sits well above the table; more ideas in the kitchen and dining room paintings.
What size painting for your wall
The simplest rule: the painting should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it. Above a 210 cm sofa a painting about 140 cm wide fits well, above a 160–180 cm double bed one of 100–120 cm, above a desk or sideboard one of 50–70 cm. Hang the centre of the painting about 150 cm from the floor, or 20–25 cm above the back of the sofa.
Every painting lists on its own page the sizes we paint it in. Square formats usually run from 40 × 40 to 180 × 180 cm; portrait and landscape formats start small, and for many subjects the long side goes beyond 3 metres. For a large wall, see the large wall paintings. If no size fits, we paint the painting to measure: see custom paintings or write to info@svetslik.si.
If you are not sure, send us a photo of your wall: we prepare a free preview of the painting in your room, usually within 24 hours.
How the paintings are made
Every painting is painted by hand on canvas by one of our painters, in oil or acrylic depending on the subject. Our painters work in different places; stretching and framing are done in our workshop in Slovenia. Because it is painted by hand, each painting has its own brushstrokes and can differ slightly from the product photo. When the painting is finished we send you a photo of it, and we dispatch it only after you confirm. We have been selling hand-painted paintings since 2011.
Rolled, stretched or framed – and delivery
You choose how the painting arrives: rolled, which is the cheapest to ship; stretched on a 2.5 cm wooden stretcher and ready to hang; or framed. Paintings in stock are dispatched within 6 working days; use the “In stock” filter to find them. Paintings painted to order arrive in 15 to 45 working days.
