Craftico's cat paintings aren't just pretty to look at; each one tells a story.  Some people like cats because they have spiritual meanings, others like them because they are fun to be around, and still others like them because they make a calm space for reading or meditating.  You can choose a custom cat portrait, a fun cat painting, or abstract cat wall art that makes a statement. No matter what you choose, you're adding a piece of art that makes your space feel more like home.

1.2 The Whys of Choosing Cat Art for Your Home

When selecting cat art for your home, you are not just selecting artwork; you are selecting energy, personality, and the emotional connection that comes from interacting with the artwork. Cats have always been associated with being protectors, symbols of good fortune, and helping people connect with their intuition. Thus, it is not surprising that many people select cat-themed decor for their homes to create an environment of happiness, creativity, and warmth.

Below are 4 reasons why cat paintings are popular choices for home decor:

Emotional Connection: If you own a cat and enjoy being around cats, then you will naturally have a stronger emotional connection with cat-themed art when selecting items for your home.

Visually Beautiful: The shape, form, and movement of cats create an aesthetically pleasing piece of artwork. Regardless of the style, the desktop artwork will enhance the appearance of a room—digital art will fit in with any decor style, including traditional, farmhouse, eclectic, and modern.

Cats provide many forms of protection to those who love them—psychological protection, physical protection, financial protection, and spiritual protection, along with an abundance of good fortune and positive energy. In short, cats provide anything that a lover of cats wishes.

Opportunities for Flexibility: Cat wall art is a perfect fit for any type of home design style, including Scandinavian chic, bohemian, eclectic, and traditional.

Fun & Practical Gift: Cat art is a perfect gift for a number of fun and functional reasons, including birthdays, anniversaries, house-warming gifts, and holiday celebrations—especially for those who love their pets!

At Craftico, we create our cat paintings using only the highest-quality materials and finest detail and finish available. Each piece is intended to be the focal point of a wall, drawing attention to itself and making a statement.

Where to Display Cat Artwork

For the best visual results, place your artwork at eye level.

In the living room near seating areas.

Directly across from windows – this way the light coming in will be balanced with the artwork.

In meditative areas of your home as a reminder of peacefulness and mindfulness (i.e., on a table, floor, or wall).

As an accent wall – this will be your statement piece for your decor.

Where Not to Display Cat Artwork

In bathrooms and laundry/utility rooms.

In dark corners or shadowy areas.

In areas where water can damage your artwork (such as a bathroom sink or kitchen sink).

In areas where there is excessive and direct sunlight that will cause your artwork to fade due to intense heat exposure; unless otherwise noted, the colours will eventually become less bright and vibrant.
