How to Choose the Perfect Artwork for Your Home’s Colour Palette
The right piece of art doesn’t just fill a wall — it ties your entire room together, bringing balance, mood, and personality to your space. One of the easiest ways to achieve a beautifully cohesive look is to choose artwork that works with your home’s existing colour palette.
Whether your style is serene neutrals, bold jewel tones, or airy coastal blues, here’s Luxe Gallery’s guide to finding the perfect colour match for your walls.
1. Start with Your Base Colours
Look at the dominant shades already in your room — on walls, furniture, rugs, and curtains. These are your base colours. Choosing art that includes one or two of these shades instantly makes the piece feel at home in your space.
Tip: Neutral base? You have more freedom to introduce pops of colour through your artwork.
2. Choose Complementary or Harmonious Tones
Colour theory is your friend here. Complementary colours (opposites on the colour wheel) create bold contrast — think deep teal against warm orange tones. Harmonious colours (neighbours on the colour wheel) create a softer, more blended effect — such as soft blush with dusty rose.
For a soothing, timeless look, lean towards harmonious shades. For drama and impact, go complementary.
3. Let Art Set the Mood
Your palette doesn’t just determine the look — it influences the feel.
-
Warm tones (reds, golds, terracottas) add energy and cosiness.
-
Cool tones (blues, greens, purples) create calm and openness.
Think about the atmosphere you want in the room before committing to a colour scheme.
4. Use Artwork to Introduce an Accent Colour
If your décor feels flat, art is the perfect way to add a fresh touch. Choose a colour that appears only in minor details elsewhere in the room — such as a throw pillow or vase — and let the artwork amplify it.
5. Test Before You Buy
Please take a photo of your space and use it to visualise the artwork in place. At Luxe Gallery, our ready-to-hang collection is photographed in authentic interiors, making it easier to see how the colours will work in your own home.
