Match. 2: Density: The artwork is spacious, minimal, and has lots of space around each of the small black lines. Match. 3: Value: Light. Match. 4: Palette: Whites. Match. Overall: It’s too matching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/30c51bbc-dccd-4223-af3c-8f32977b9196/Mondrian+mid.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - It’s a boring match… 1: Content Style, & Medium: This artwork is fairly similar to the last. It’s simple in terms of the colouring and repetition of the small sub-segmentations , it’s centrally positioned, and painted texture takes on a circle like appearance with the faded out corners, there’s somewhat of a flat 2d treatment yet each sub-segment has a slight 3d quality with the rough gradient paint treatment which gives off a textural foliage quality. There’s also relatively thin black lines, but this time they’re more freehand than perfectly straight, and vary in thickness in places.. Match. 2: Density: The artwork is minimal, a little more tightly spaced than the last one, although the last one was very light and this one is just regular light. Match. 3: Value: Light - Light +. Match. 4: Palette: Different variants of Whites, muted warm browns and yellows, and in places an exact match to the khaki green ornament can be found. Match. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/3fa058c9-0910-4d04-a207-7a557eae61a5/Franz+Kline+Heavy.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Too dense & square 1: Content Style, & Medium: This artwork is simple in its use of line only, yet those lines are straight, thick, going in all directions, and overlapping. Your eyes are lead in all directions, and there’s no central focal point in the piece. Not a Match. 2: Density: The artwork has a bit of clear breathing space around the elements, yet the linework is so chunky and thickly applied. The density is on the mid- higher end of things, and overpowers the rest of the room. Not a Match. 3: Value: Light-Mid. Match. 4: Palette: Mostly white which is a match, yet black isn’t really featured around the rest of the interior except for tiny accent details. Not a Match.. Overall: It’s not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/96b60ebd-a519-45ef-8d71-b1bdfc063f39/kandinsky+geometric.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Wassily Kandinsky: Swinging (L), Wassily Kandinsky: Composition VIII (R) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/e2c7cb7e-7084-48d6-82a2-a2660e7d397d/Kandinsky+Swinging+wall+art.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Too cramped, busy, angular, and dark 1: Content Style, & Medium: There’s a lot of geometric overlapping elements. We have a variety of sizes of squares, triangles, lines, and circles. There’s some curve with the circles, but overall this artwork is more grid-like than rounded. There’s a lot going on, and it’s not very simple. It’s however mostly flat and graphic. There’s also a hint of organic texture with the bumpy paint treatment almost exposing the underneath paper texture. There’s a couple of small elements that match, yet overall… Not a Match. 2: Density: The artwork is packed in tight with all the different elements. Everything seems heavily weighted down to the bottom L corner with very little floaty elements. I'’s overall a fairly middly-dense peice. Not a Match. 3: Value: Mid-Dark. Not a Match. 4: Palette: We have a variety of muted, cool off-primary brights, with a dash or 3 of black. Not a Match.. Overall: it’s not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/6d0c2c78-a520-450f-82c7-9953a08263bb/kandinsky+viii+wall+art.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Light, fresh, and playful 1: Content Style, & Medium: This artwork boasts a disorganized simplicity, featuring numerous small geometric shapes—some tiny squares, but predominantly lines and circles. It maintains a flat and graphic quality, with action going on all throughout the canvas, yet most of this action concentrates in the center of the piece. While there's not an abundance, there are subtle touches of paper and paint texture that soften the edges of some geometric shapes. However, the most striking detail is the multitude of thin lines extending in all directions. At first glance, this detail may not seem like a match, but take a closer look, and you might start noticing the numerous other thin lines in the interior, like those in the tiles and table legs. It’s a Match. 2: Density: The artwork is spacious, minimal, and has lots of space around each of the elements in the artwork — especially the thin black lines. It’s very light overall. Match. 3: Value: Light. Match. 4: Palette: Whites, with muted warm & cool soft primary shades (but more warm than cool tones). Match.. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/6d41cecd-2ea7-43c2-922e-49772a59d6a5/kandinsky+blobs.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Wassily Kandinsky: Macchia Nera (L), Wassily Kandinsky: Draft 3 for Composition VII (R) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/964dfa32-c44b-4c53-81c3-921b61508de0/kandinsky+maccia+nera+wall+art.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Dark spots devouring your attention 1: Content Style, & Medium: This artwork exhibits some similarities with the interior, such as the round, blobby shapes, a flat graphic treatment, and a subtle use of texture in the paint. However, where it diverges lies in the absence of simplicity, as this piece lacks a sense of refined orderliness. Additionally, there's a disparity in the central focus, as elements in this artwork are distributed across the corners, sides, and the middle. 50/50. 2: Density: The density in the artwork is moderate. There's space between most elements, though not substantial, with areas of increased compactness. Additionally, you'll notice instances of heavily applied material interspersed with more lightly applied paint..

It reads as one large texture, made up of smaller different textured pieces. The “pieces” are un-uniformly rounded like mis-shapen jigsaw pieces. The treatment is rather flat and graphic 2d, and the paint, and overall pattern leaves a textured organic foliage feel. Match, only just. 2: Density: The is low-mid, there’s something rather dainty about the shapes even though they’re quite close together. There’s also a lot of white running through the piece giving it breathing room. Match. 3: Value: Mid. Not a Match, but not too far out of range. 4: Palette: A mix of mostly warm muted earthy greens, with a dash of muted warm pastel pink, cool crisp blue & pink, with shades of white to break it all up.

For a representational portrait, it tends to be relatively flat and graphic, lacking strong light/dark contrast in its three-dimensional portrayal of the woman. The use of paint introduces a natural texture to the piece. The woman’s body also emphasizes her curves around the shoulders and arms. However, from a compositional perspective, strong diagonal lines formed by her arms and a sloping back create a criss-cross shape. The artwork extends to the edges, guiding the viewer's gaze outward and avoiding a central orientation. This asymmetry disrupts the overall central symmetry of the room. Not a Match. 2: Density: The material application in this artwork feels somewhat light, creating a breezy flow as your eye moves around the piece. However, the tight cropping contributes to a mid-density range. Match, but only just. 3: Value: With white and pastel tones making up the majority of this artwork, it’s a light-mid artwork. Match. 4: Palette: The artwork features white in the dress and touches of brown in the hair, mirroring elements found in the interior. However, the cool tones in the artwork don't align with the warm color scheme of the interior. Not a Match. Overall: Not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/5f452101-82d4-4bf0-970f-5b71f8d21741/Angelica+Kauffman+wall+art.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Cozy countryside fairytale 1: Content Style, & Medium: This artwork has a few figures simply seated, wearing off white with curved forms in the drapery of the dresses and the curve of the shoulders. It’s not 2d flat; you don’t often get that with representational figurative works, but the light/shade contrast is rather flat. There’s not bright highlights, or deep darks. Match. 2: Density: The artwork is somewhat closely cropped around the figures, giving a tighter density, yet the eye flow around the figures is somewhat light owing to having a bit of clear space around the edges of the canvas frame. Not a Match, but only just. 3: Value: Mid Plus. Not a Match. 4: Palette: Warm whites, with muted warm reds, and greens. Match. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/9161af99-5826-4e7f-af49-022d77e775ec/The+framing+factor.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Jacques-Louis David: Napoleon Crossing The Alps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/2cfd707c-6e40-4577-afdd-ef71dcbcbaa0/Napoleon+wall+art.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Energetic motion unleashed 1: Content Style, & Medium: The central focus of this artwork is strategically placed at the center, avoiding any spillage beyond the edges. Rounded forms in off-white depict the horse's rump and chest. While the figures boast a pronounced three-dimensional quality, thanks to the adept use of light and shade, the background adopts a more two-dimensional appearance, with a fog-like washout effect. Though not overtly simplistic, this piece exhibits a certain straightforwardness within its genre—neoclassical war painting—featuring solely a man on horseback. Some viewers might discern the dynamism of a horse on its hind legs, capturing the tense anticipation of its descent back to all fours. Match. 2: Density: The artwork features a main horse figure that is semi-floated, surrounded by open space. The density is not particularly light but rather falls in the mid-range. However, the surrounding airflow imparts a lighter, more floated quality to the overall density.. Match. 3: Value: Mid Plus. Not a Match. 4: Palette: Warm off white with warm yellows, browns, green. Match. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/bfede8e3-3142-48fb-b4eb-2b08719511d9/Napoleon+frame.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Historical documentary elegance 1: Content Style, & Medium: The same artwork, now framed with a large white mat board and a thin black frame, takes on a more graphic and two-dimensional appearance. The grand impact and dynamism of the horse have been subdued through a reduction in scale and the confining effect of the frame. The thin black frame now harmonizes with the other slender straight black lines present in the room. The overall perception of the image has subtly shifted from an epic, dynamic war scene to a grand, historical piece of memorabilia. The act of framing this moment almost transforms it into a documented specimen rather than something to be emotionally felt and experienced in the present. Match. 2: Density: The artwork has now been made more airy and spacious with the large white mat board surrounding the artwork. Match. 3: Value: Light Mid. The addition of extra white has shifted the value of the overall piece in a lighter direction. Match. 4: Palette: Muted warm bold red, black, small dash of white. Match.

The image of the tree has been crafted to emphasize its form, symmetry, and shape. The contrast has been heightened, reducing the details that are characteristic of natural scenes and leaving a flat, graphic, and simplified representation. This approach highlights the pronounced semi-circle shape created by the tree trunk and its reflection. Additionally, the thin, almost-black lines of the branches and sub-branches contribute to the overall graphic and stylized effect. Match. 2: Density: The overall density of this piece falls in the light to mid-range. The background is predominantly light, and despite the very dark branches, there's an airy quality to their shape. This, coupled with the presence of water below, contributes to a sense of lightness and floatiness in the depiction of the tree. Match. 3: Value: Despite the intensified darkness of the tree branches, the overall tone of this piece leans toward the light-mid range, thanks to the clean and bright white background. Match. 4: Palette: Stripped of color in this black and white photograph, it falls into the neutral spectrum—neither warm nor cool, just balanced. The prevalence of white in the image echoes the neutral tones found throughout the interior. Match. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/0052ed1c-e9f1-4790-a5cb-19a01921f9f3/Ansel+Adams+cactus+wall+art.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Noticing the spanish-style touch 1: Content Style, & Medium: In this photograph, the arms of the cactus introduce a profusion of curved lines and blobby forms, along with subtle natural textures accentuating these lines. Despite the 3D quality resulting from the perspective, the overall impression is somewhat graphic. This effect is heightened by the contrast of the relatively dark cactus form against a simple grey background, rendering it a relatively simple work. Match. 2: Density: The density of this piece lingers around the lower mid-range. Although it possesses an airy quality with open spaces, the decision to tightly crop the image on the cactus adds a sense of constraint, nudging the overall density up a notch. Match-ish. 3: Value: This photographic artwork hovers around a mid- light on the light to dark spectrum. Match. 4: Palette: Once again, neutral tones work in well in this space. Match. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/687f1566-085f-4115-9b35-8161db319ead/photographic+landscape.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Ansel Adams: Mount Williamson, Sierra Nevada, from Manzanar, CA (L), Ansel Adams, Untitled (R) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/d8f1f9b9-dc59-4a5e-bfe1-0b2d91c9e5de/photographic+blur.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/25f60b06-b84a-4af7-bc6c-43553f01c6e2/photographic+shapes.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/dba00bf6-c6bf-4982-8acd-0a4d525fc53f/Ansel+Adams+boulder.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - A dark rugged expanse 1: Content Style, & Medium: This photo captures a wide expansive landscape with depth, which is anything but a flat-graphic style. It's detailed, and the scene extends right to the edges. The aspect I want to highlight here however are the round boulders that dominate the foreground. While there’s curves in the ‘boulder’ detailing, compositionally, this artwork is actually square and blocky — a large rectangle with two smaller triangles. Perhaps the saving grace of this piece when it comes to alignment with the interior is its symmetry. It’s also somewhat simple due to being monochromatic grey and not heavily contrasted, allowing you to focus on the textures. Only just a Match. 2: Density: This artwork is middly-dense, everything is tightly packed, with not much breathing room in the composition. Not a Match. 3: Value: We’re looking at an artwork on the darker middle end of the light/dark spectrum, but doesn’t cross the line into being too dark. Match. 4: Palette: Everything is neutral black and white. Match. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/a456f021-b87d-421f-b38d-6e6b0cdb95b1/Ansel+adams+tree.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Bonsai zen 1: Content Style, & Medium: In the realm of photographic artistry, this piece takes a distinct approach, embracing a flat and graphic style. The backdrop is predominantly one-toned, providing a stark contrast to the strikingly graphic tree that commands the foreground. Shadows are rendered darker and chunkier, resulting in a less intricate but more vivid final image. Despite being a landscape, it boasts a certain simplicity — a solitary tree against a plain canvas, with the focal point neatly centered and ample open space at the periphery. Now, the magic lies in the rounded, blobby shapes that subtly mirror those found within this interior space. Match. 2: Density: The density of this artwork is a light mid. There’s a lot of airy breathing room around the central tree, plus quite a lot of light fine detail. The only thing pushing it toward the mid range is the shadows that have been pushed darker than they otherwise would have been if not altered in editing giving the appearance of more solidity to the objects within this photograph. Match. 3: Value: Light-Mid. Match. 4: Palette: Once again, everything is neutral black and white. Match.

It's almost like an oddly placed patch of different wallpaper. It’s undeniably a pattern.

No more blending into the wallpaper—it stands out. In fact, it's the most noticeable thing in the room. Hmm, a bit confusing, isn't it? It's like it's both a pattern and its opposite. It’s a ?? 2: Match to all other elements: You likely observed that this pattern is considerably larger than the other delicate patterns scattered around the room. While variations can enhance visual appeal, when it's almost identical but slightly off, it appears more like an awkward mistake. Returning to the point that this artwork is the most prominent element in the room, it stands out for a couple of reasons. Primarily, with its predominant dark block color and minimal white or lighter shades, it appears notably dark and dense in contrast to the overall ambiance of the room. *While we do have reds and blues in the artwork found elsewhere in the room, only reds are directly below the artwork on the couch. Shades of blue, however, are more scattered. This means attention is drawn to the swath of red in the center of the room, when without the artwork, you'd take in each item more equally. It’s a no. Overall: Not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/180e3566-eecd-458e-a34b-353bb51afafd/Owen+Jones+3.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Do we need more patterns? 1:Go opposite of pattern: Now, the pattern has been adjusted to be the same size. When viewed from a distance, it takes on more of a block color appearance with intricate details, though it still distinctly retains its patterned nature. It’s a no. 2: Match to all other elements: Similar to the instance mentioned earlier, the reds and blues harmonize with the colors present in the surroundings. However, it still appears somewhat dense, attracting a bit too much attention within the room—although to a slightly lesser extent this time, as the pattern blends in more seamlessly. It’s still a no.

However, its minimal pattern and lack of detailing, aside from the two chunky bands in different shades of pink, make it seem overly dense and divergent from the overall aesthetic of the room. It’s a no. Overall: Not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/3755f5ee-37ca-4288-862b-de3121118fab/rothko+wall+art+2.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Look, the chair!…and the floor…and the wallpaper…and back to the wall 1:Go opposite of pattern: Just another flat block colour It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: In this case, our artwork showcases a dark teal/blue that corresponds to the color of a particular chair. While it primarily matches the color of this chair, my focus is drawn to other blue hues in the room, such as the cushion on the couch and the textured dark blue spots on the carpet. Being in the same color family appears to be enough for the colors to feel harmonious. However, the concentrated block of dark teal-blue is excessively dark and dense in comparison to the much lighter shades present throughout the room. This creates a disproportionate diversion of attention, acting like a visual black hole. It’s a no. Overall: Not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/8c0f3ace-b506-4143-8ef0-5826efdcd84b/rothko+wall+art+3.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Look, the floor!…and the cushions. 1:Go opposite of pattern: Yep, it’s another flat block colour It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: The bright light blue in the artwork closely mirrors the exact shade of the flooring. Although it's a blue akin to many other elements in the interior, my attention doesn't shift to the other, darker, and more purplish blues. Instead, it is drawn towards other pastel bright colors, such as the yellow cushion and the light green quilt. Despite being the most accurate color match thus far, this single-color artwork still commands my attention, overpowering the interior and engaging in competition with every other element in the room, thanks to its overwhelming unbroken block color density. It’s a no.

Considering them as a single artwork, we're now picking up and matching to a wider range of colors throughout the room. Additionally, with a few more stripes, there's a subtle nod to pattern. It’s a yes, only just. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/afadd342-070b-4dfb-a4b9-20bb12375beb/Bromley.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out David Bromley: Nude Zippora with Butterflies (L), David Bromley: Zippora (R) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/fc403e89-5460-4f8b-8369-2b9a7cdf1f5e/bromley+wall+art+1a.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Perfect on paper, lost in the wallpaper 1:Go opposite of pattern: We encounter a graphic, albeit painted, portrait featuring washes of single-block colors and black stencil-like outline details. While there are some pattern-ish details with the repetition of flowers and butterflies, they don't quite form a distinct and recognizable pattern. It’s a yes? 2: Match to all other elements: For a portrait, it’s rather simple, stylized, and modern, matching the vibe of the rest of the room. The colors echo those found throughout the space, from blues and pastel teals to reds, with the skin tone closely matching the wood tones. The pattern-ish detailing, while not a distinct pattern, harmonizes with the pattern aspects present in the room. It’s a yes? Overall: Not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/76181a91-90ad-4b4d-a49f-14ae6bb8653e/bromley+wall+art+2a.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Blends in, yet stands out 1:Go opposite of pattern: Here’s a similar artwork, but with more solidity in the background that helps it stand out against the patterned wallpaper. It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: Much like the previous artwork, this piece is graphic, modern, and incorporates colors that resonate with those found elsewhere in the room. The greeny-teals bridge the gap between the dark teals and the yellows and greens scattered throughout. The peachy background, while introducing a somewhat new color, still harmonizes with the various other pastels in the interior. In contrast to the last example, this artwork doesn't feature much in the way of a discernible pattern. It’s a yes. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/f5a35835-ae24-4db4-9fa1-18b721522d56/bromley+wall+art+1b.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Delicately balanced 1:Go opposite of pattern: The first artwork is presented again, but this time with a dark teal frame featuring a white border around the artwork. The piece is now distinct from the background wallpaper, making a significant difference. The artwork no longer blends into the pattern of the background due to the small but impactful block color provided by the frame. It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: While we already know this artwork matches all the other elements in the room, the addition of the frame doesn't change this, as it also complements the overall aesthetic. What I want to emphasize is the contrast between this framed artwork and the previous peachy-color example, specifically regarding the interplay between pattern and block color. The last artwork was a good match, but this one, with the frame, achieves perfection. With the pattern/block color separation flaw addressed, the artwork's increased similarity to the room becomes evident. It introduces more aligned colors, and the pattern details capture elements from the entire interior that the previous block color artwork didn't capture as effectively. This showcases what attaining an extremely delicate balance looks like! It’s a YES! Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/78b3baf8-e861-4a82-a4b6-8017fdc9bc17/Basquiat.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Jean Michel Basquiat: Untitled, 1981 (L), Jean Michel Basquiat: Untitled (Pecho/Oreja) (R) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/ba5ff661-332d-4c9d-9aba-3c6a2eef9adc/basquiat+wall+art+1.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Scribbly pattern or blocky scribble? 1:Go opposite of pattern: We have an assortment of different pastel block colors forming the background in a sort of tortoiseshell pattern, with randomly placed large color swatches. It almost gives the impression of a pattern, but upon closer inspection, there's no apparent order to it. It’s a yes? 2: Match to all other elements: It's a modern, simple, and highly stylized piece that seamlessly aligns with the room's overall aesthetic. The colors harmonize with the broad spectrum of bright pastel tones present throughout the space, and the tortoiseshell-like arrangement of colors subtly nods to a pattern, integrating well with the surroundings. It’s a yes. Overall: Not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/7f6046c3-e66c-41aa-ba35-5b10cac8871f/basquiat+wall+art+frame.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - A fortuitous fit 1:Go opposite of pattern: We have a sort of pattern, characterized by scribbly block shapes in various shades found throughout the interior, with some additional deep blue solidity around the edge provided by the frame. It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: Now, with the frame, it truly pops off the wall. I'd say this works, but only just. It doesn't fit quite as seamlessly as the last one (the lady with butterflies). This is because in the last example, there are more solid block pieces that contrast against all the patterns, while this one still appears somewhat patterned, although it has just enough solid blockiness to make it work. It’s a yes. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/d7ee6d25-9202-4721-9d63-0d40eda91a32/basquiat+wall+art+2.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Solid with fitting breaks 1:Go opposite of pattern: This artwork is unequivocally not a pattern. It predominantly features a solid dark blue block color. While it includes details, they consist of linework, lacking any repetitive or rhythmic patterns. It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: Once again, it's a modern, simple, stylized piece that aligns with the room's vibe. While lacking a distinct sense of pattern, it incorporates white detailing that breaks up the solid color, reminiscent of patterns in the room that also feature white details. Various colors in small quantities reference the diverse palette of the interior. Touches of red, mid-blue, green, white, and light tan appear, with the majority of the artwork being dark blue (similar to the dark teal in the interior). The (dark) blue, serving as the main color in both the artwork and the interior, provides a sense of cohesion. It’s a yes. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/77762f56-a17e-4106-96d3-b29d0e05c5b7/Kehinde+Wiley.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Make it stand out Kehinde Wiley: Portrait of Jorge Gitoo Wright (L), Kehinde Wiley: Portrait of Kea Loha Mahuta II (R) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/0d054200-d0d8-4302-b57a-485ea0eaeb1a/Kehinde+Wiley+wall+art+1.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Intricate detailing bordering on pattern 1:Go opposite of pattern: The background of this portrait gives off a strong pattern vibe. But, it's not your typical geometric pattern found in the room. Those recurring details, like the yellow flower heads, aren't following a strict, regular structure. Plus, it's built with solid block color shapes. And let's not forget the star of the show—it's a portrait, not just a pattern. Yet, interestingly, in the room, with all its intricate details, it still kind of blends into the chaos and is too patterny to stand out. It’s a no. 2: Match to all other elements: Here's a modern twist on a realistic portrait—it's bursting with vibrant colors and patterns, and did I mention patterns? The main blue color in the artwork syncs seamlessly with the various blues scattered around the room. And check out that background pattern—it's like it borrowed a bit of flair from the floral cushion on the couch! It’s a yes. Overall: Not a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/cd4606a7-7e74-48f5-909e-f369881293cb/Kehinde+Wiley+wall+art+2.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Flat low-contrast detailing does the trick 1:Go opposite of pattern: Here's another artwork, similar to the last but with a twist in the pattern department. The background patterns here are larger, less intricate, and way less geometric. They have a flat, low-contrast, blocky quality that doesn't clash with the myriad of patterns in the room. It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: This artwork has a color palette that interestingly mirrors but doesn't exactly replicate the colors in the interior. The shocking green falls in line with the mid-range shocking blue flooring. The bright purple aligns with the other mid-range brights like yellow, blue, green on the wallpaper, and the red on the couch. The red dress in the artwork, although red like the couch, is a slightly different shade. In terms of patterns, this artwork holds its own, contributing to the overall pattern scheme in the room. It maintains a fairly modern feel, harmonizing well with the room's overall feel. It’s a yes. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/0a6f1001-107f-41d5-9e94-2901c6178c5d/Kehinde+Wiley+wall+art+3.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide - Larger details escape the pattern category 1:Go opposite of pattern: This is the first artwork, but it's cropped This serves a dual purpose: it enlarges the patterned pieces, creating a bolder visual impact, and, intriguingly, it removes the sense of pattern entirely, leaving only a few details that contribute to visual interest. It’s a yes. 2: Match to all other elements: Cropping this artwork doesn't alter its harmony with the interior. It maintains its modern, vibrant qualities, aligning with colors in the room. The retained fine details in the background maintain a subtle connection with the prevalent patterns in the space. It’s a yes. Overall: It’s a match https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/f5c8d0a4-dba5-47a5-a053-43b25e7ebf9c/incohesive+1.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide L: Van Gogh, Portrait of Dr Paul Gachet: From the yellow in the face matching the yellow in the cushions, to the muted jewel tones matching the deep jewel tones of the purple couch & the deep blue fireplace cover, the colours have matches. There’s also the representational imagery matching up to the modeling and crafting in the fireplace & wall detailing. C: Frida Kahlo, Self-portrait as Tehuana (Diego On My Mind): The white & pink in the artwork matching the white and pink in the wall paneling & the chair cover. The flat representational portrait serving as a mid point between modern & traditional echoing the mix of traditional & modern elements within the room. The subtle flat pattern details in the painting matching the subtle flat patterns of the wallpaper & the sofa. R: Angelika Kauffmann, Lady Georgiana Spencer, Henrietta Spencer and George Viscount Althorp: Here we’re leaning more into the traditional, matching up with the traditional feel of the ornate fireplace, lower wall paneling, and antique clock on the mantelpiece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625270e8d64c8d794851fb44/08fa159c-72aa-439c-857a-4ae33fc1bc40/incohesive+2.jpg Blog - Mastering the art of selecting artwork for your home: A complete guide L: Hilma af Klint, Group X, No. 1, Altarpiece: We have the same artwork, but now with a large white mat board, and thin black frame, the piece is overall more graphic and 2d, and the epic impact and dynamism of the horse has been muted with the shift down in scale, and the enclosing box that the frame creates.
