Whether you’re buying wall art as an investment or to complement your home’s look, you can always add extra touches to emphasize this art. Whether you want your home to feel like an art gallery or simply want to enhance the atmosphere, consider the following options for choosing a color palette that’s right for your art. 

Enhancing Your Framed Art With Color

1. Trust the Color Wheel 

Choosing colors based on their relationships in the color wheel is an effective way to bring life to your wall art. Consider complementary colors; modern complementary pairs include red and cyan, green and magenta, and blue and yellow. Adjacent colors, like orange and yellow, are also ideal. 

2. Stay Neutral

It’s okay to stick to a neutral color for your wall. A colorless wall allows a piece of art to really gain focus if it has a rich color palette. You see this in art galleries where a vibrant piece would sit on a blank white wall. Don’t be afraid to choose whites, blacks, or grays to serve as the backgrounds for your pieces. 

3. Play with Furniture and Accessory Colors

Picking the right colors for your wall art will give it life and help extend its presence by creating relationships with other points of a room, including walls, furniture, and objects. Furniture colors can work well to give artwork more presence. By choosing furniture that draws its color from your art, they can serve as extensions of the artwork while also creating a cohesive theme throughout the space.
