The art of interior design is a discipline that goes far beyond simply arranging furniture. An important component of any well-conceived interior is the art that hangs on our walls, stands on our shelves, or radiates throughout our rooms.

Art has the unique ability to lend personality, depth, and an emotional dimension to our living spaces, as well as to business premises and commercial properties. Artworks have the potential to be the most compelling design element in any room, be it in houses, apartments, offices, or retail spaces.

But selecting the right artwork can be a challenge. In this guide, we will explain in detail and with practical examples how professional interior designers choose art for interiors. We will cover aesthetic and practical (and, in the case of commercial properties, brand-relevant) aspects and share personal anecdotes as well as fascinating facts from the world of interior design .

The search for suitable artworks for interior design projects

Regardless of the chosen aesthetic, paintings and photographs contribute significantly to the overall design and lend the room a wealth of personality and charm.

Common challenges and problems

Unfortunately, artworks are often overlooked, underestimated, or completely forgotten. Finding the ideal pieces for your walls can prove difficult and time-consuming, which is why many rooms remain empty longer than originally planned.

Designers often struggle to collaborate directly with artists or assemble art collections for their clients. Partnerships with professional art consultants, renowned artists, or emerging talents and brands can help bridge this gap. We'll show you how to find such potential partners later in this article.

Furthermore, high-quality artworks can quickly become expensive, which is why they often take a backseat to furniture and seating when creating a design budget. However, we want to assure you that selecting a piece of art doesn't have to be tedious, stressful, or disproportionately expensive.

With expert knowledge and tips for the successful integration of art into interiors

Interior designers strategically use colors, textures, motifs, and patterns to create different moods and styles. By integrating artwork, various elements are harmoniously combined to authentically express the client's personal taste and integrate it into their everyday life.

With the expertise of our consulted design experts and a carefully compiled list of affordable online resources, you can enhance your home as well as any commercial property with impressive and beautiful works of art within a few weeks (instead of years).

Here we present the most important tips from our interior designers on sourcing, hanging, styling and placing artwork in your rooms.

How to Choose the Right Art – A Guide for Interior Designers

01 Understanding your customers' style and requirements

The first step in selecting the ideal artwork for your client is to understand their individual style and client-specific requirements.

Do your customers tend towards clean lines and neutral color nuances? Or do they prefer vibrant patterns and intense colors?

Although this may seem trivial, it can prove surprisingly challenging to define precisely, especially when trying to harmonize the needs and desires of multiple clients in one house or room.

However, once you have identified their preferences, you can begin searching for artworks that will blend harmoniously into your clients' residential or commercial spaces.

02 Basic understanding of color psychology

The colors of a work of art can significantly influence the mood of a room. Here are some basic principles of color psychology:

  • Blue: Calming and relaxing, ideal for bedrooms or offices.
  • Red: Energetic and stimulating, perfect for living rooms or creative studios.
  • Green: Refreshing and harmonious, suitable for any room, but especially for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Yellow: Cheerful and invigorating, excellent for kitchens and entrance areas.

We have written a detailed article on this topic here: Color theory, color theory and style guides in (fashion) design

It is important to consider the colors of the artworks in relation to the colors of the furniture and walls. A harmonious yet exciting overall impression is created through the targeted use of contrasts and accents.

03 M working with an existing color palette

When selecting artwork and decor for existing spaces, it is important to carefully consider the existing colors, textures, and arrangements within the room. Art objects have the ability to complement a building's architectural features and existing furnishings in either a harmonious or contrasting way.

This process begins at the walls and extends across the floor and ceiling to the furniture and lighting .

When introducing new artworks, it may be necessary to combine them with the existing collection. This offers a great opportunity to draw creative input from what already exists and to demonstrate how old and new elements can work together. It is crucial to ensure that pieces, textures, or colors that are too close together do not get lost in the space.

To adequately consider existing elements , it is highly recommended to take measurements and photos to plan where each object should be placed. Based on this information, flooring, furniture arrangement, and color scheme can be planned.

04 Materials and Technology: Utilizing Diversity and Quality

Artworks exist in numerous techniques and materials – from traditional oil paintings to modern prints, sculptures, and installations. Each of these techniques brings its own unique aesthetic and tactile qualities.

  • Oil paintings : Classic and high-quality, often with a rich texture and depth.
  • Acrylic paintings : Versatile and often vibrant, with a clear, modern look.
  • Prints : From screen printing to giclée printing, affordable and perfect for creating gallery walls.
  • Sculptures : Three-dimensional works made from materials such as wood, metal or ceramics that can add a special dynamism to your room.

Expert tip: Invest in quality! Regardless of the technique and material, quality should always be the top priority. Well-preserved, high-quality works of art are not only more durable, but often also appreciate in value.

05 Consideration of your room planning

When designing an interior, it is crucial to develop a solid understanding of the room layout and the arrangement of all objects in the home. You should first determine how much art will be present, including the number of pieces, their dimensions, and their placement.

Depending on the chosen room concept, numerous layout options are available, from the creation of a triptych with three related images to a striking single piece.

Don't hesitate to combine artworks of different scales or sizes. Numerous templates are available to help with arranging artworks, whether aligning a series of edges or grouping small paintings and photographs.

Remember, art is meant to be contemplated ; create space to step back and enjoy it. When planning your space, it's helpful to think in groups and consider how a collection of artworks can harmonize throughout the house, as a gallery wall, or in a display case.

06 Coordinate size and room dimensions

Another essential aspect when selecting art is where the artwork should be placed. The size and shape of the artwork must be in proportion to the room and the furniture. 

It is important that wall art is in proportion to the size of the wall – a piece that is too large can look restless, while a piece that is too small can appear incomplete.

For example, if you would like to place a work of art above a sofa, but do not have a suitable large format available, you can alternatively consider gallery wall

Horizontally or square-shaped works generally fit well above a bed or sofa, while vertical artworks are excellent for narrow, high walls, such as between windows or in a guest toilet.

Large spaces and great art

Large works of art are particularly effective in open or spacious rooms. They lend the room a distinctive character and can serve as a central design element. A significant advantage of large artworks is that they not only decorate the room but also define it.

Small rooms and gallery walls

Gallery walls are an excellent choice for smaller rooms or when you want to create a more intimate atmosphere . They allow you to combine artworks, photographs, and prints of varying sizes into a harmonious composition, enabling you to tell a story and add personal touches.

Expert tip: Place the frames and artwork on the floor and arrange them there before hanging them on the wall. This will give you a better impression of the final look.

07 Include mood, atmosphere and light

When it comes to selecting art for interior spaces, the intended use plays a crucial role in interior design. From the outset, it is important to create an atmosphere and consider the feeling a visitor should experience in the room.

Experience shows that visitors to a room instinctively react to existing conditions such as lighting and atmosphere. Their goal might be to create a specific mood in the room, for example, peace or tranquility. These aspects should be considered when placing each individual artwork.

To make the most of light and create a specific atmosphere, it's advisable color theory . Vibrant, dynamic, or bright artworks may be a better fit for rooms where movement and activity predominate. Art can either serve as a splash of color or blend harmoniously with the existing mood.

08 Dare to achieve unexpected placements

While a mantelpiece or a shelf above the bed remains timeless, don't be afraid of asymmetry when it comes to arranging artwork. Highlighting less obvious spots or placing art in unexpected corners can create a strong visual impact and design rooms in a refreshingly unconventional way.

At first glance, the image seems strangely out of place. On second glance, one recognizes the intriguing effect created by this asymmetry.

Furthermore, the asymmetry of artworks can be balanced by harmonious accents on both sides, such as wall lights, table lamps or bedside tables (especially in a bedroom).

The one unshakeable rule for arranging artwork, repeatedly cited by interior design professionals? Make sure the pieces aren't hung too high. All art objects should be at eye level or about 15 to 25 centimeters above a larger piece of furniture . This ensures that the artwork interacts harmoniously with the rest of the design.

09 Layering – Play with multiple layers

Instead of hanging artworks on the walls, put the hammer down and consider stacking the collected works on a shelf, a mantelpiece, a desk or a chest of drawers.

The combination of a mirror with a smaller work of art, as shown above, is particularly appealing. This simple trick makes your room appear more effortless and design-oriented.

By strategically placing artworks on different levels, you create a dynamic and interesting atmosphere that appeals to the viewer's eye and visually enhances the space.

10 Blank Space – On the Effect of Free Spaces

Keep in mind that not every wall necessarily needs to be decorated with art or ornamentation . A simple, unadorned wall undoubtedly exudes a certain peace and tranquility, especially if the rest of the room is inviting and tastefully designed.

Learn to appreciate negative space (blank space) and allow it to direct light onto the carefully selected artworks and furniture you have chosen.

What a room lacks in artistic elements can be compensated for through different textures and carefully chosen accents (lighting, structures, decorations, furniture , posters, rugs, etc.) in the room design. The following examples demonstrate this:

11 Mix & Match – Mixing different passe-partouts and frames

The frame and passe-partout of artworks play a crucial role in the final aesthetic. For a harmonious overall look, frames should be chosen that match the design style.

Simple black or white frames look modern and contemporary, while gold, brushed brass or wooden frames lend a traditional, nostalgic charm.

...and another wonderful example of a great mix of interior design styles

It's important that the frame supports and enhances the artwork, rather than competing with it. For minimalist pieces, overly elaborate frames should be avoided. Artwork with a generous mat lends an elegant, classic look, while large-format pieces complement modern design.

Especially when creating a gallery wall, it is recommended to combine different passe-partouts and frame styles to create a calmer, more natural overall look (see illustrations above).

Unusual frame shapes also worth considering, as they allow for the creation of special effects.

12 Stylish – The safety option

If interior designers want to play it safe with their interior design and "daring" experiments, there are classic recommendations for selecting art that is consistent with the style of popular interior design styles. One could use the analogy of "tone on tone" in the fashion world and speak of "style on style .

a) Minimalist art for purist spaces

Minimalist art is characterized by its understated elegance and the absence of superfluous ornamentation, making it perfectly suited for purist spaces. This style often relies on a limited color palette and clean lines that blend seamlessly into a minimalist interior design concept.

When selecting minimalist artwork, it's advisable to focus on geometric shapes and neutral colors. These pieces can add an elegant touch to a minimalist room without overwhelming it. Large-format minimalist paintings or prints can serve as striking focal points.

Be careful that too many strong colors or details could distract from the overall effect and impair the harmonious balance and aesthetics of the room.

b) Modern art for contemporary living spaces

Modern art, characterized by innovation and a spirit of experimentation, blends seamlessly into contemporary living spaces. This style is distinguished by abstract forms , vibrant colors, and unconventional materials, making it a dynamic addition to any modern room.

Don't hesitate to explore unconventional approaches when selecting modern artworks. A large-format abstract painting or sculpture can add a striking element to a modern room.

Keep in mind that modern art primarily embodies individual expression. Therefore, it is important to select works that match your client's personality and aesthetic preferences.

13  Get personal

Now it gets personal. The artwork you select can certainly reflect your clients' personal preferences, their individual design tastes, travels, and even their family history. Heirlooms or treasures from abroad are particularly impressive in any collection.

For example, the living space of a hunter and/or outdoor enthusiast could be interpreted in a modern way with personal travel impressions as black and white photo prints

Interior designers recommend staying away from clichéd artworks or widely used prints and instead looking for pieces that have personal meaning for the clients.

The more meaningful and individual the artwork is, the better.

Do your clients have cultural roots in an exotic country? Or a passion for certain cultures or regions? Then stylized portraits in a corresponding art style would be an exceptional idea. There are numerous artists who can create such commissions.

Regarding the overall style, you have the option of emphasizing the interior design of the house or moving in a completely new aesthetic direction. For example, a historic building structure (wooden floorboards, stucco, etc.) with artistic decorations, combined with bold, modern photography, always creates a unique and captivating ambiance.

14 Budget: Art doesn't have to be expensive

A common misconception is that high-quality art always has to be expensive. While some works by famous artists certainly carry high price tags, there are many ways to find impressive art at affordable prices.

  • Buying from emerging artists: Visit art exhibitions and markets to discover works by emerging artists.
  • Art prints and editions: Limited edition prints can be an affordable alternative to original works.
  • Online galleries and platforms: Websites like Saatchi Art or Etsy offer a wide range of artworks at different prices.

Another valuable budgeting tool is setting a clear budget before shopping and searching within that framework. Don't be put off by high prices; instead, discover the variety and creativity that also exists in the affordable range.

15 Focus on mental well-being

How does the selection of artwork affect the psychological well-being of the residents? Art has a significant influence on mood and productivity. Choosing works that evoke positive feelings or promote creativity can improve the overall well-being of the people using the space.

It's not just about visual appeal; it's crucial to create an environment that nourishes both mind and soul. In the healthcare sector, San Francisco-based interior designers at Awning.com replaced traditional prints with nature-inspired artwork and calming abstract pieces . Patients reported reduced anxiety levels, while staff observed a more tranquil atmosphere that supported the healing process.

16 Creative Approaches to Choosing Art in Minimalist Spaces

In minimalist environments, art can function both as a focal point and as a subtle accent to the overall aesthetic. One creative approach is negative space , allowing the artwork room to breathe and make a statement without overwhelming the simplicity of the design.

Another approach is to select monochromatic or richly textured works that create depth and interest while remaining true to the minimalist principle. For a modern apartment with a minimalist style, the lead designer of Awning.com recommends large-format monochrome paintings with complex textures.

Such pieces add an extra layer of elegance to minimalist spaces and can thus become a topic of conversation among visitors, while at the same time harmoniously complementing the clean lines of the interior.

17 Targeted search and selection

Now that you know your style, have determined the space, and set a budget, you can begin your targeted search for artwork. Take your time and be patient.

Take advantage of the opportunity to view artworks online or visit galleries to develop a true feel for the pieces. More and more online galleries now offer real-time visualizations in the actual gallery spaces or virtual 3D tours.

Expert tip: Trust your gut feeling. If a work of art speaks to you and stays with you, that's often a good indicator that it's the right piece for you.

Find and buy art that matches your interior design – you'll find it here

a. Consider collaborating with local artists

If you visit affiliate links in our content, we may receive a commission on your purchase (at no extra cost to you). This helps fund the free editorial content we provide to you ( more details here ).

One way for designers to specifically support their customers in selecting suitable furniture, textiles and color tones for their living spaces is to also consider the works of regional artists.

By engaging with the artist's biography and work, designers not only open up new creative dimensions but also have the opportunity to commission a unique artwork. Building relationships with artists allows designers to offer their clients bespoke pieces and integrate a distinctive touch into their interior design.

When choosing a work of art, it is important to consider the artist's style and ensure that it fits harmoniously into the overall concept of the interior design.

Of course, you have several options for finding suitable artists from your region: About us , our online gallery , as well as platforms such as Singulart , ars mundi , Saatchi Art , Etsy and Pinterest , and social media such as Instagram , Behance , Dribbble , DeviantArt or TikTok .

It is advisable to invest time in viewing different works and getting to know the artist's personal style. Furthermore, entire room designs or interior decorations can be developed around a work of art. 

Works by local artists bring an authentic narrative to interiors, firmly anchoring them in their geographical and cultural context. Incorporating creations from local artists not only strengthens the community but also enriches design with unique stories and perspectives that mass-produced artwork cannot offer.

The goal is to establish a dialogue between the space and its surroundings , deepening the experience for its occupants. For a boutique hotel in New Orleans, Awning.com's lead designer, Elisa Hall, selected works by local musicians and painters, weaving the city's vibrant cultural diversity into each room. Guests no longer simply stayed at the hotel; they experienced a piece of New Orleans' soul.

b. Outstanding online providers for art

Her professional tip:

“Art presents one of the biggest challenges for buyers when it comes to finding suitable pieces. It is extremely subjective, but we structure the process by creating interior designs with a wide range of options that our customers may or may not find appealing.”.

Our offerings include colorful, abstract works, portraits, photographs, black and white prints, geometric shapes, neutral designs, monochrome pieces, pop art, and much more. This allows customers to consider a comprehensive selection of options, price ranges, and delivery times, and enables us to begin narrowing down the concepts

Elissa Hall, Lead Designer at Awning.com

As lead designer at Awning.com and former design director at Airbnb Plus, Elissa Hall from Portland (Oregon, USA) has spent years curating art collections that transform both private and business interiors into appealing, personalized spaces.

Her experience in supporting over 15 interior designers has given her unique insights into selecting art that resonates with different clients and interiors.

Her professional tip:

“How can the integration of unconventional art media transform interior spaces? Exploring unconventional art forms such as digital installations, kinetic sculptures, or even augmented reality can fundamentally alter our perception of a space. These novel artworks engage people's senses in diverse ways, creating atmospheres that are not only visually perceptible but also emotionally moving.”.

By looking beyond traditional paintings and prints, we open up opportunities for interaction and emotional connections that static artworks might not be able to convey. In designing the lobby of a technology company, we installed an interactive digital wall that responded to touch and movement, transforming a simple waiting area into an engaging playground that embodied the company's spirit of innovation

Jack Lorge, founder and chief designer of Rolli Shades

Jack Lorge , the founder and chief designer of Rolli Shades , has dedicated his career to combining creative design with timeless elements to create environments that are both appealing and practical. With a deep understanding of how art shapes interior spaces, Jack has helped many clients select pieces that reflect their individual personalities and enhance their living spaces.

His work highlights a holistic design approach where each element interacts harmoniously to achieve a coherent aesthetic.

His professional tips:

“The fusion of rustic and modern aspects in interior design has the potential to significantly transform a space, especially when combined with works of art. By combining traditional elements with contemporary art, a dynamic ambiance is created that harmoniously unites the past with the present.”.

This approach works particularly well in areas that incorporate natural materials like wood or stone, and it makes the artwork stand out against a homogeneous background. Complement cream-colored bouclé sofas with vibrant wall colors.

Incorporating color into the walls can enhance the appearance of cream-colored bouclé sofas and opens up more creative design possibilities. Artwork can act as a visual bridge when displayed against bright, vibrant walls, harmonizing the sofa's textures with the color intensity. This arrangement not only draws the eye but also creates a lively and inviting atmosphere.

When incorporating art into interior design, it is crucial to consider the dimensions of the artwork and how it fits into the space. Large paintings can act as central elements in spacious rooms, while smaller works can be arranged to create an exciting gallery wall.

The choice of frame – whether simple or extravagant – also has a significant influence on how the artwork is perceived in the room.”

Gurleen Kaur, painter and interior designer

Gurleen Kaur is a professional painter and interior designer from Melbourne, Australia, specializing in the creative interior design of homes and offices. The art that people choose for their homes and offices is a central theme for her, as it highlights the beauty of the spaces while also evoking human emotions.

Their professional tips:

“Culture should reflect the character of the place. In private settings, objects with emotional value are particularly effective. The integration of art into an office environment must always harmonize with the company's brand image and identity.”.

It always revolves around the artwork's color scheme and dimensions. Art can either blend seamlessly with the room's color palette or serve as a striking, high-contrast addition. Larger sketches or paintings are ideal for open spaces, as their clarity draws the eye; therefore, smaller paintings, when arranged in groups, are best suited for living areas, as they create a welcoming atmosphere.

Textured artworks are special because they add depth and visual interest to a room. Elaborate compositions and/or layered paintings or objects can transform a wall and breathe new life into a space.

At company locations, for example, it can be beneficial to regularly change artworks to give the environment a fresh look. If the space is permanent, seasonal artworks, a new theme, or a collaboration between two artists can give the place a different look and feel without requiring a complete change of furniture and decor

I wish you all the best for your projects!

The art of selecting artwork for clients' interiors is a journey that is both professional and personal, requiring creativity. It demands attention, patience, and an openness to new experiences.

Don't let yourself be guided solely by conventions or trends, but rather follow the individual tastes, preferences, and personalities of your customers. Ultimately, art should not only decorate their homes or business premises and create a sense of representation, but also reflect their personalities and stories.

Remember that art is a form of expression and a source of joy. Enjoy the process and let the walls speak!

We wish you much success and enjoyment in discovering and selecting your perfect works of art!
