Tips For Decorating With Beautiful Landscapes Pictures

By Patrice McCoy


Beautiful landscapes pictures are a wonderful custom accent to any interior design. In some cases, landscape art can even serve as the central focus of a room's decor, inspiring the design of the entire room around a single piece. There are many different ways in which to enjoy and display favorite images of nature in a home or office space, with creative flair to suit any particular taste in interior design.

A very dramatic feel can be created through the use of large scale oil paintings depicting scenery such as thickly wooded and mysterious forests, roiling seascapes or rugged mountain ranges. Conversely, light and airy imagery in watercolor can bring a sense of brightness to any room. In either case, large scale nature pictures can serve as the main focus of any room, providing inspiration for the overall design of the rest of the space.

Small paintings and photographs can be used in a variety of ways to bring the majesty of nature into a room. When placed in appropriately detailed frames, small pieces can be used to accent the shelves and mantles. Multiple pictures of a common theme can serve to bring the overall design of a room together with balance and harmony.

One very creative application of nature art in modern interior design themes is to divide the pictures into a series of segments. These segments are then individually framed and displayed in sequential order. This application is great for large pictures, while smaller paintings and photographs can be used in this way as well as in more abstract arrangements. This application brings nature into the design scheme in a completely unique and creative way.

Natural landscape pictures possessing any type of sentimental value add warmth and joy to any room. Photographs from a favorite family vacation are a prime example of sentimentally charged artwork. Photographs of a landscape that represents a certain place or experience one hopes to achieve in the future can provide a powerful daily inspiration to reach one's goal.

Collages are a very creative and unique way to display not only beautiful landscape art, but also additional imagery that may also be meaningful to the scenery. One example of a themed collage such as this would be to arrange a series of photos or paintings of a favorite place with each image depicting a different season. Another example is that of a scenic picture displayed together with related imagery, such as a seascape arranged with a picture of a sailboat, a seashell, or a sunset at sea.

A great addition to rustic or cottage-like interior themes is the widow pane frame. When a nature picture is displayed in this type of frame, the illusion of looking out a window is created, making it feel as though the scene were right outside. This is an especially effective design element for bringing a bit of the natural world into the homes of people who live in locations which are far removed from nature.

Beautiful landscapes pictures are an extremely versatile design tool. They can accent any space, providing a point of visual interest as well as a calming effect that's associated with the very presence of natural imagery. They can be used to bring a design together through use of a common theme, or to serve as inspiration for the design itself. No room is complete without a touch of Mother Nature integrated into its decor.
