You’ve just moved into a brand-new home: everything is clean, everything is white… and everything feels a little empty. Bare walls and large open spaces can make a home feel cold.
Wall art is the best way to visually structure a new build without taking on major extra work.
The walls to tackle first
In a new home, start with:
With 3 to 5 well-chosen large artworks, the “empty room” effect is already gone.
Think in generous formats
Small frames get lost in large open spaces.
-
Favour large canvases, diptychs and triptychs
-
A single large piece can do the work of 5 poorly coordinated frames
Create a common thread throughout the home
Choose an overall palette:
-
Base: beige, off-white, warm grey
-
Accents: sage green, soft terracotta, grey-blue, depending on your style
Your artwork should fit within this palette to create a sense of overall cohesion.
A new home doesn’t have to stay impersonal. A few strategically dressed walls are enough to give each room character and warmth.
Want to avoid the “show home” effect? Explore our collections designed for the walls above the sofa, the kitchen table, the sideboard or the staircase, and create a warm visual journey from the moment you step inside.
