Vintage Oil Paintings

I’m always on the lookout for vintage oil paintings when I go out thrifting, to antique stores, or estate sales. Oil paints bring such a rich texture to a room and do a lot to create the mood you are trying to convey. Vintage oil paintings usually also come in beautiful, ornate frames. So as a whole, they bring so much character to any room.

I’ve rounded up a few oil paintings that I found online that you can ship straight to your home, if scouring antique and thrift stores isn’t your thing. *Save this post because I’ll be sure to update what I find as they sell out. Because these are not big box items, once they sell, they are gone. So if you see an oil painting you love, I suggest snatching it up quickly. If you do find an oil painting you're drawn to at a thrift store, antique store, or estate sale, grab it! Even if you think you might change your mind, chances are that if you walk away, it may not be there when you return.

How do I incorporate oil paintings around my home?

The thing about a great oil painting is that you can place it in any room of your house. I have one placed under my range hood in my kitchen. A large one in my dining room. A sweet little ballerina one in my daughter's room over her dresser.

Look around your room. You may have a small wall that you can incorporate a small-sized frame to bring a small surprise to an otherwise overlooked wall. You can use paintings in bookcases to add layers and visual interest. The possibilities are literally endless.

Common Oil Paintings That Fit Well In Any Home

Wondering what kind of oil paintings to add to your home? Great question. Fruit and food are always great for the kitchen and dining rooms. Portraits are my favorite in living spaces. Landscapes fit well in any room and are fun to change throughout the seasons. Flowers are another that are easily incorporated into any room.

Well, on that note, I think it’s time to see some oil paintings! Here are some stunners I’ve found on Etsy. Grab them while you can!
