How to Choose Colors for Wall Art

Have you already decided on a color scheme, wall paint color, or maybe even picked out your furniture and bedding for your room? It’s easy to coordinate your Amborela wall art with the rest of your room decor.

Tree trunk: color of furniture
Background: accent color in room
Sculpted flowers: main color in room or wall color

Start by choosing the colors that coordinate best with your décor from the Amborela color chart.

Background Color

Choose the accent color in your room as the main color for your painting. In Amborela paintings, the background is the main color, because it takes up the most visual space. As a general rule, the main color in your artwork should be the accent color in your room. Even large art, while it makes a great focal point, is still only an accent; a small fraction of your entire room.

Create contrast between your painting and the surrounding wall color. Choose a background color that is significantly different in hue and tone than your wall paint. If you choose a background color that is similar to your wall color, the painting will blend into the wall too much.

Once you have chosen a different hue than your wall paint, considering adjusting the tone to make your artwork pop. A light toned painting stands out against a mid to dark toned wall. And a dark toned painting stands out against a light to mid toned wall.

3D Flower Color

Fabric and sculpted flowers on Amborela paintings look great in the main color of the room.

Do you have a large area of color near your painting that isn’t technically your main room color? The color of a nearby wall, rug, or bedding will also be a great choice for your 3d flower color.

You have more color options with sculpted flowers than fabric flowers. Choose from the paint color chart for sculpted flowers. See options on fabric flower chart

Tree Trunks & Flower Stems

Choose a neutral hue for your tree trunks and flower stems. Here’s an opportunity to coordinate your art with your furniture finish, creating a truly custom art look. Dark walnut, white, gray, and French gray wood finishes have coordinating colors on the Amborela color chart.

Create contrast between the trunk or stems and the surrounding background. Choose a dark color for your trunk or stems when you choose a light background color. And choose a light color for your trunk or stems when you choose a dark background color.
