Many contemporary paintings sold elsewhere are flat and have no life, which need not be so. Life can be added either by an impasto (raised) paint surface or using a surface texture to the painting. Clever use of colour can also help create an original style.  
 
The method of application of the paint can create special effects, using palette knives instead of brushes gives the paint surface an interesting surface texture. 
The freedom of expression of the artist makes a painting have life. Ignore this factor and you will tire of the painting quickly.
There are few rules as what are the best colour combinations for contemporary paintings. This can be more personal taste and the colours used in the intended room. 
 
Good advice is to check whether the painting can be moved to an alternative room if the original room is redecorated or would remain suitable if you move home. Any painting should meet these criteria or you could be wasting your money.
