At Ivory & Olive Decor, we believe art is more than decoration—it’s what brings a space to life. Alongside lighting, art is often the defining element that finishes a room or even sets the entire tone from the start. It adds depth, character, and a sense of story that no other design piece can replicate.
Lately, we’re loving the continued rise of warm, earthy neutrals in art. When paired with gold tones—whether in the artwork itself or the surrounding textiles—these hues create a look that’s both current and timeless. Black and white pieces are also standing strong, especially when oversized and framed with a stacked double frame. It’s a styling technique that instantly elevates any hallway, nook, or room, giving it that collected, designer feel.
Jewel tones and green-forward palettes are also having a moment—and for good reason.
We’re drawn to abstract landscapes on linen, where softened greens, dusky blues, and delicate hints of light depict serene natural scenes: trees, rolling hills, and muted skies. Framed in a warm wood float frame, these works feel intentional, customized, and beautifully at home in both traditional and modern spaces.
For those craving a bolder look, color block art is an unexpected way to inject personality. While it may feel tricky at first, color blocking—with its clean lines and confident palettes—can make a room sparkle. Lately, we’ve seen more pieces playing with just one or two tones to striking effect. It’s a minimalist move with major style payoff.
If art feels intimidating, you’re not alone. Clients often ask us how high to hang it, how to pair it with furniture, or how to know if it “works.” Our answer is always this: art is what grounds the room. It anchors the furniture, enhances the space, and brings out the beauty in everything around it. The key is choosing pieces that feel personal, intentional, and—above all—something you love to look at every day.
If you're curious about incorporating more art into your home but don’t know where to begin, stop by the store or send us a message.
