How do you choose wall art that matches your space’s color scheme? Whether you’re working with a specific palette or a mix of hues, here’s a simple approach to finding the perfect match:

1️⃣ Identify the three main colors in your room, including the walls and ceiling.
2️⃣ Look for artwork that features one or more of those colors to tie everything together.
3️⃣ Experiment with creative lighting to emphasize warm or cool tones and enhance the art’s impact.

And if all else fails, go with what you love! The right size, shape, and positioning can make any choice a showstopper.

What’s your favorite way to match art to your space?

“Spanish Shawl”

This nudibranch displays a stunning set of colors: the body is purple, the cerata are orange and the rhinophores are scarlet. The neon orange appendages on the back of Flabellinopsis iodinea are the cerata which extract oxygen from the sea water they are surrounded by and live in.

Above them, seagulls wheel and dive, creating a lively contrast against the tranquil expanse of the sea. Beneath the surface, shadows of marine life glide through the depths, adding an air of mystery. Each moment feels charged with natural wonder, inviting reflection and awe.

Have you heard of gallery walls? They’re a creative way to display multiple works of art together—sometimes tied by a theme, other times completely eclectic. Instead of relying on one large artwork, you can curate an entire wall for a dynamic, personalized look.

Here’s a pro tip: When creating a gallery wall, hang artwork upward as well as outward. Extending the arrangement toward the ceiling can make a smaller space feel much larger. Don’t be afraid to go bold and think vertically!

Have you tried creating a gallery wall before?

Three iconic sails rise gracefully against an expansive sky, evoking a sense of harmony between architecture and nature. The Sydney Harbour Bridge looms in the background, complementing the striking forms of the structure. Soft light bathes the scene, enhancing the fluid lines and inviting exploration. As shadows lengthen, the interplay between light and form becomes a dynamic visual dance. This piece serves as a captivating focal point that can transform any environment with its architectural beauty.

Want to add depth and dimension to your interior design? Incorporating contrast into your decor is a great way to achieve it! 🌗

Just like in photography, contrast refers to the difference between light and dark elements. In decorating, it helps create visual interest and intentionality by guiding the eye to different focal points in a space.

If your room leans dark, try adding lighter accents in complementary shades or contrasting colors. Artwork with bold contrast can also bring life to areas that feel flat or uninspired. Keep the dimensions and size of how things take up space in mind and vary them.

How do you use contrast in your spaces? If you haven't, do you think you will?

Silhouetted against a soft sky, darkened trees frame a radiant sun, its light spilling through the branches in a delicate display. The interplay of shadow and illumination evokes a sense of tranquility, inviting contemplation. Each sunbeam pierces the foliage, creating a dance of light that enriches the scene. This striking visual offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for enhancing a peaceful corner of any home.

Here’s a fun question: Can a darker color scheme make a room feel bigger?

Surprisingly, many interior designers believe it can! Darker tones create depth, adding a sense of luxury and making a space feel larger. On the flip side, bright and airy spaces achieve a breezy, open effect—proving that both ends of the color spectrum can transform a room in unique ways.

What’s your take? Would you ever paint a room black? And how do you feel artwork stands out on dark walls versus light ones? Let’s discuss!

Feeling like your space is a little cluttered? The artwork you’ve chosen might be playing a role.

Many of us gather artwork we love over time, but displaying them all in one space can sometimes feel disorganized. Instead, try a more intentional approach. Selecting a single standout work can bring harmony to a room, while grouping smaller items into a cohesive gallery wall creates balance.

Think about your color scheme and furniture layout, and let your art complement your space instead of competing with it.
