What wall art/pics to go with these pillows/decor? PIP
These are similar pillows i have on the couch and then i'm going for this shelf look. I am having a hard time deciding what color/what kind of wall art to put there and in what color fram. I bought espresso shelves from target any suggestions? thanks
pillows
the rug i am buying. It's orange and brown. there will be a espresso leather ottoman on it. couches are like a camel color.
this is the wall inspiration pic.
I bought these lanterns to go on top right shelf.
I bought 2 metal wall art pics similar to this to put there from Hobby lobby but am unsure of it??
Re: What wall art/pics to go with these pillows/decor? PIP
I would avoid florals and just get artwork you like that picks up on some of those accent colors, like landscapes or cityscapes.

Art should be chosen because you love it and it speaks to you, not just because it goes with the pillows. Bringing in your personality will add more to your space than decor purchased to match will.
It doesn't have to be super matchy to work in the space. Just one or two of the colors in it, even in a small amount, could be enough to bring it all together.
My recommendation is to look around some websites like art.com, 20x200, even overstock,com, and try to get an idea of what style/subject matter appeals to you.
This. I totally agree. If you find artwork that means something to you, then you will never get bored with it and it will transition to whatever decor you have, not just those specific throws pillows.
Sorry, I thought linking would give the source, but apparently not. They're all from art.com, I just chose "fine art" or something and picked the first few I saw.
I agree with finding art that means something to you rather than just something to "match".
Matchy pieces can be used as supplemental if you have a really large space but for a gallery/shelf wall I think you should find stuff that you really enjoy. I like family photos or pictures you have taken yourself best. If you don't do that then finding a print or something that you really LIKE is best.
