Hello,
I am interested in hearing your thoughts on commissioning custom decorative paintings.
During the building planning phase, I have already received recommendations and offers to have my portrait or favorite place painted as an oil painting. These works are very high quality and distinctive, but also expensive. However, I would also like to have my own images turned into paintings to hang on the walls, instead of IKEA posters. Therefore, I would like to hear your opinions:
What do you think about this? Does anyone have experience with it?
Best regards,
Yqsquare

During my studies, the only "paintings" I had were posters of attractively and scantily dressed women on the wall. That’s the only experience I’ve had with art... Thanks for the inspiration, I’m considering whether a nude painting might be suitable for the bedroom…

I consider this to be advertising for the Chinese paint factories.Haha, no, Europeans are better at painting. These are artworks by art students here in the Northwest…. They are more affordable than “great masters” but still good and dynamic. I just wanted to find out if anyone here has had similar experiences. Thanks for the reply!
Commissioning a custom painting? If I weren’t painting myself, I would probably not consider it as a real option. When I see a painting, it has to have impact. It needs to really appeal to me. Once, I bought a painting for 150€ (about $160) in Berlin; the artist was at a market. I still like that painting. Our bathroom painting (posted here before) only cost 30€ (about $32).
That aside, I probably wouldn’t spend more than 200 euros (about $215) on wall art.
Portraits in living spaces: I don’t like them. Especially not above the bed.

Who is the provider and what do they charge for such a large painting? Thank you for the response. For me, a 40 x 50 cm (16 x 20 inches) hand-painted picture costs a few hundred euros. The providers are art students at the university here in NRW. The price is certainly negotiable. If you are interested, I could inquire for you. For me, it’s about not being sure yet if I want my own painting.
What does "my own picture" mean?
A portrait of you?
Or a picture created according to your specifications?
I find the price reasonable for the amount of work that is likely involved. For a painting by an art student, actually not. But it really depends on the specific picture. As @ypg already mentioned, it has to create a wow factor; otherwise, it’s really not worth 50 EUR.
