Fine Art Painting Styles at Home

One of the great things about wall paintings is that you can find subjects and styles that suit your current interior decor, but also help to transition into a new look whenever you're ready. Art allows the viewer to discover new elements in a space, so choose paintings that show off the texture or silhouette of your favorite furniture while complementing other accents in the room.

• Many pieces of wall art feature figurative or representational subjects. This means that your paintings might show off an every day object like a seashell or a bowl of fruit or a human figure against the landscape or negative space. It can be fun to place these pieces by their literal counterparts, like a shell or a tray on a buffet.
• The rendering might be literal, so that it's unmistakable what you're looking at, or it may be a touch more symbolic, invoking mood while conveying figure. Choose whichever approach you like. You can have all types of art in your home and still maintain harmonious decor.
• Another option is to choose abstract art, which focuses purely on mood by using lines or dashes of color or geometric elements to create whatever feeling you crave at home. This kind of artwork is excellent in homes that include color blocking as a design approach or wherever you need a shot of color, but don't want to distract from a carefully arranged furniture setting.

Prints, Paintings and Other Artwork

Your wall paintings become a significant part of a gorgeous art collection when you pair them with other types of artwork that bring out the best in all pieces. Discover how pairing different types of artwork can show off what makes each piece special.

• Look into different types of dimensional art. This is an art style that includes depth to the silhouette in the form of pieces that extend into the room or rest dimensionally within a thick or box-style frame.
• Explore how complementary paintings can look next to each other. In some cases, this is called a diptych or triptych, which refers to art pieces that make up one artwork across multiple panels. Another way to exercise the style is to choose complementary paintings and ensure they have the same frame.
• Enjoy creating context for your artwork by choosing paintings that match decorative objects, like sculpture, or accents, like trays. By choosing similar finishes or colors, you create an artistic story that defines the aesthetic of your home.
