Research shows that surrounding yourself with natural imagery can reduce anxiety by up to 20% and boost happiness levels significantly. A study by the University of California found that simply viewing images of nature can lower heart rates and cortisol levels.
So, when you start to think about refreshing your living space or office, unique landscape artwork is the perfect choice!
Cultivate not just a space that promotes peace, creativity, and relaxation but also your mood and inspiration helping you momentarily escape daily stress.
How to choose the right pieces?
Selecting artwork that resonates with you is key!
One of the most rewarding aspects of selecting art is the chance to express yourself.
Think about the landscapes that hold special meaning for you. Did a beautiful mountain view captivate you during a hiking adventure? Or does a beach scene evoke nostalgic childhood days?
Choosing artworks that reflect your personal history brings depth and personality to your space. You can do that through art about a familiar picture, interesting colors, messages within the landscape or just your favorite style.
Look for pieces that align with your personal taste—be it impressionistic styles, abstract forms, or hyper-realistic imagery.
Consider colors carefully...
Warm colors like rich greens, browns, reds, and yellows are known to evoke feelings of warmth and comfort. They can stimulate energy and enthusiasm, making them suitable for social spaces.
Cool colors such as blue, green, and purple tend to have a calming effect. They can help reduce stress and create a serene environment, making them ideal for bedrooms and quiet office spaces while also making the space feel fresh.
Neutral colors like beige, gray, and white can create a sense of calm and stability. They serve as a great backdrop for other colors and can help to maintain a clean and organized look.
How to display artwork in your home?
How you display art is just as important as the pieces you choose.
According to a survey by the National Home Décor Association, 63% of people feel that a well-placed artwork makes a space more inviting.
In your living room, a large landscape piece above the sofa can act as a striking focal point.
In bedrooms, consider softer landscapes, which can aid relaxation. Position smaller artworks symmetrically or integrate them into a gallery wall for a balanced look.
Additionally, placing landscape art in unexpected areas like kitchens or hallways can breathe life into these often-overlooked spaces.
Can you enhance office spaces with it as well?
Yes! Landscape art isn't just for home décor; it can greatly impact office environments too!
The right artwork can boost creativity and encourage productivity.
A study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that art in the workplace can increase creativity by up to 18%.
Consider a striking panoramic landscape to inspire contemplation during breaks. A calming scene can help maintain focus and serve as a visual escape during a hectic workday.
Framing Matters! More than you think!
Once you have chosen your landscape pieces, think about framing. A good frame can elevate the artwork and enhance its overall impact.
Natural materials like wood can add warmth, while sleek metal frames might provide a modern touch.
Consider adding matting to your framed artwork, as it can create depth and professionalism.
A well-framed piece stands out better and can transform a simple artwork into a centerpiece of your décor.
Creating a Cohesive Look.
When choosing multiple landscape artworks, strive for a cohesive aesthetic. Look at your room’s colors or textures and find landscape pieces that complement them.
For example, if your room is warm and rustic, choose artworks with earthy colors that reflect this.
In more minimalist spaces, opt for pieces that utilize negative space for a cleaner look. Creating harmony among your décor can enhance the beauty of your artwork.
B-BUT......Remember the point about adding your personal touch to your spaces???
You CAN mix and match things up as well !
Mixing and Matching Styles
Feel free to combine different styles and types of artwork. Mixing traditional landscape art with modern works can create an engaging, eclectic atmosphere.
You might also consider a series of landscapes sharing a common theme or color palette to create unity. Alternating larger and smaller pieces in your display can add visual intrigue and dimension.
Ultimately, the right artwork does more than decorate; it invites conversations, stories and memories into your life.
So why not embrace the beauty of the outdoors through your walls?
