I need decorating advice, what type of painting should I hang on my wall?

Question

Currently, I have a large canvas painting in the entrance wall. It is a flower and is bright pink and blue in colour. I want to hang another painting nearby. What colour schemes and styles would compliment it? The painting I have is kind of modern and girly. Thanks

Answer 1

I'd say a polar bear with a red hibiscus over his left ear. He needs to be smiling and holding a corona.

Answer 2

Perhaps you should have something masculine to compliment that picture. It provides an assymetrical feeling. I suggest something much more modern like one of the city landscape. Try something a little darker but not with too much. I think it would help it if its nearly completely different but with a slight tint of blue to add as a blending effect. I guess the wall behind it should not be way too vibrantly colored. So try for a soothing scheme so the paintings stick out liek a light blue wall or a yellow wall. maybe pink might work.

Good luck with your decorating.

Answer 3

Perhaps something with more white and less bright pink so it balances out the other painting. It would be good if it was some kind of very simple floral. Like an outline of a vase with one flower in it with pink petals. Black outline of the vase/stem.

Answer 4

Georgia O'keefe of flowers on the other side. Or you either find a color scheme of flower that opposite color of what you have on the other painting. Like white, yellows, greens, browns, and purples.

Answer 5

Anything that has similar shades of coulours would look good. If your really unsure, hang something with neutral colours, like soft pink and beige / tan, or soft pink and white.

Answer 6

Find an original piece of art from a local gallery. It is not necessary to choose art to suit your interior, or to match anything. Choose art because you LOVE it. Only.

Answer 7

Answer 8

hang a piccaso.
