How to choose a wall colour when displaying art
Selecting the perfect wall colour to showcase your artwork is a delicate yet essential aspect of interior design.

Whether you're a seasoned art collector or just starting to adorn your walls, understanding how different wall colours interact with artwork is key to creating a harmonious and visually compelling environment.
How To Guides
Soft pastels make the perfect canvas
When selecting a wall colour for displaying artwork, soft colours and gentle pastels can serve as an ideal backdrop to accentuate the beauty of your pieces. Soft hues like Camisole Quarter & Carnelian provide a serene and tranquil atmosphere, allowing the artwork to take centre stage without overwhelming the space.
These subtle tones create a sense of harmony and sophistication, complementing the colours and textures present in the artwork while adding a touch of understated elegance to the room.

Harnessing contrasting colours for artful walls
When it comes to displaying artwork, contrasting colours can offer a dynamic backdrop that accentuates the vibrancy of the pieces. Opting for contrasting colours like deep blues against warm oranges or rich purples beside earthy greens creates a striking visual impact.
These contrasting hues not only draw attention to the artwork but also add depth and dimension to the space, making it visually engaging.
