Designers advise using natural tones in the interior, as they give a sense of stability and security. Earth tone paintings will not excite the imagination or bring a sence of celebration into the house. They are more likely to bring you closer to nature, make you hear the sound of the wind that sways the trees or the sound of the surf that wears away the stones lying on the shore.
Earth tones paintings will help you feel the unity with nature, they will slow down your rhythm of life and will help you to pay attention to details and important moments that happen every day. Such canvases will create excellent accents in the interior, complementing it with shades of dry leaves, brick color, shades of fruits and seeds.
Color spectrum of earth tones paintings
Nature is replete with colors and shades and it is a mistake to believe that earth tones paintings combine only shades of brown. They are filled with woody green, light gray, turquoise, sky blue, the color of a scarlet sunset or golden highlights on the water blue.
These artworks are about the strong and picturesque nature. Thanks to their calming energy, earth tones paintings are hung in the bedroom to enjoy before bed, or in the living room to create an overall sense of tranquility in the home.
They are also suitable for the office, as natural colors create a working atmosphere and turn in to mental activity, do not distract from business and are noticeable only when you want to admire them.
How to combine earth tones paintings with different interiors
Thanks to the variety of shades, these artworks can decorate a room in a modern style, as well as in a country or vintage style. Earth tones paintings do not look very harmonious in a minimalistic interior, as they are often oversaturated with various color combinations.
The brown that prevails in the paintings in nature tones has many shades:
- Woody
- Light brown
- Mustard
- Beige
- Coffee
- Steel
These tones look great in light interiors with beige and pastel green shades. Darker colors like charcoal or soot will add depth and power to a space, while creamy beige and gold will expand the room, add air and space.
Earth tones paintings love contrasting combinations and fit perfectly into interiors where there is a bright yellow, green or orange color. Do not be afraid of contrasts, they make the interior more expressive and clearly defined. Black and white paintings with their strict lines and geometric images also help to make the interior more saturated. An excellent symbiosis is made up of earth tones paintings and nature abstract paintings.
