Every design style has its own personality. And the wall art you choose should match that personality.
Not sure what to hang on your walls? Here's how to style wall art for different design aesthetics.
Minimalist Style
Minimalism is all about "less is more." Clean lines, neutral colors, and lots of empty space.
Best art for minimalist spaces:
- Large, single abstract pieces
- Neutral tones (white, black, beige, gray)
- Simple geometric shapes
- Lots of negative space
Tip: Don't clutter the walls. One big piece is better than a gallery wall.
Our Minimalist Art Collection is perfect for this aesthetic—clean, simple, and timeless.
Modern / Contemporary Style
Modern style is sleek, current, and a little bit bold. It's clean but not boring.
Best art for modern spaces:
- Abstract art
- Bold colors (but not too many)
- Geometric patterns
- Black and white photography
- Large-scale pieces
Tip: Mix textures. A smooth print next to a textured painting adds depth.
Bohemian / Eclectic Style
Boho style is all about personality, color, and a collected-over-time feel. It's cozy, vibrant, and unapologetic.
Best art for boho spaces:
- Mixed mediums (paintings, prints, textiles)
- Warm, earthy colors
- Botanical prints
- A gallery wall of different sizes and styles
- Vintage or antique pieces
Tip: Don't be matchy-matchy. The charm of boho is that it feels collected, not curated.
Wabi Sabi Style
Wabi sabi is about finding beauty in imperfection. It's rustic, organic, and deeply calming.
Best art for wabi sabi spaces:
- Plaster and texture art
- Earthy tones (clay, stone, moss, sand)
- Organic, imperfect shapes
- Handmade, hand-painted pieces
- Natural materials
Tip: Look for pieces that feel handcrafted. Mass-produced, perfect prints won't work here.
Our Wabi Sabi Art Collection is specifically designed for this aesthetic—organic, textured, and beautifully imperfect.
Traditional / Classic Style
Traditional style is timeless, elegant, and rooted in history. It's formal but warm.
Best art for traditional spaces:
- Landscape paintings
- Classical still lifes
- Portraits
- Ornate frames (gold, wood)
- Symmetrical arrangements
Tip: Pair with matching frames for a cohesive, collected look.
Scandinavian / Nordic Style
Scandinavian style is minimal but warm. It's functional, clean, and cozy.
Best art for Scandinavian spaces:
- Black and white prints
- Nature photography
- Simple typography art
- Light wood frames
- Pale, muted tones
Tip: Keep it simple. One or two pieces per wall, lots of negative space.
The Bottom Line
The best wall art for your home is the art that matches your style—but also feels like you. Use these guidelines as a starting point, not rules. Mix styles, break the rules, and choose what makes you happy.
At the end of the day, the perfect piece of art is the one you can't imagine your home without.
