HOW TO BRIGHTEN and ADD FOCAL POINT TO DARK WALLS and ROOMS


5 Ideas for decorating on a dark wall:

  • Choose light-colored art or minimalist style art

  • Don’t try to match the walls - choose complementary colors/tones

  • Keep things light - choose wall art with a lot of white space (light color)

  • Large pieces of light/white art work on dark walls

  • Lighten the space with art and prints of lighter colors or light frame

-Light-colored wall art is a great option to hang on a darkly painted wall

-Neutral-tone art, prints or textiles are the best option to lighten a dark wall space

-Do not try to match the art to the walls, but stay in the same tonal range: Brown walls could have cream or off-white; deep grey walls should stick to cooler whites like alabaster or light grey/white

Choose light-colored or minimalist abstract style art paintings and prints.

These can work on darker, more richly-colored walls.

Artwork has same warm tones and can work with warmer walls.

-Hang large paintings or framed prints on dark walls to lighten a space

-Arrange several light-framed prints together

-Best option for framed print on a dark wall: Use an extra large frame with a thick-walled mat to create the look of more light and space on the wall
