Rep Power: 2  |  Posters or paintings? Do you prefer paintings or posters to decor your home? I am more for paintings, they still have that certain charm that makes them attractive. Posters are more like pictures to me. My home has many paintings. I like to paint as well so I like to decor my own home myself. |

Rep Power: 7 | I think paintings are better for home decor! But what is the difference in posters and paintings? Why would people stick up posters in their homes anyway? |

Rep Power: 7 | Yes they do, i too do painting and drawing and wish to start selling them or putting them up somewhere. But i have never understand what some people mean by posters, according to me posters have always been something done with poster paint and something to pass a message to people or a banner like thing! |

Rep Power: 7 | But that is something which comes in paintings too! But i suppose it may be a different style of painting! For example painting of a flower would be with different shades, colors, and techniques, where as a poster of a flower would be with plain colors without any detail.......is that right? |

| There are hand painted posters too ...but generally posters dont involve as much creativity/imagination as paintings .... they r just reproductions of real life objects |

Rep Power: 10  | Yes, they do have a story for every painting... I never understand it myself... can u people interpret what the painter is really trying to say? I think 10 persons will have 10 interpretations for a single painting... and when a painter will disclose the real one... everyone will be proved wrong in his/her thinking...  |

Rep Power: 10 | In a formal setting like a living room where you entertain guests paintings would be more elegant. For more personal space like a home-office or your bedroom posters can be displayed based on your interest. I have many of my own photographs (not photographs of myself but photos that I took ;-) enlarged and hanging in my house. I don't think I have any paintings. I have a poster of Ansel Adam's bridal veil falls photo. I also have a poster of the earth at night. I also have another poster that has the human genome list! when I was younger I used to have a poster of Rajinikant ;-) -F |
