The Easiest Way to Refresh Any Room
Do you want to refresh a room without totally starting from scratch? The art you hang on your walls can completely shift the feel of a space with no paint, new furniture, or major changes required.
Nature-themed artwork is especially useful for updating a space. Whether you're aiming for a calm energy or something more vibrant, the right piece of art can change the mood and make your space feel more aligned with how you want to feel.
Quick Tips: Easy Mood Shifts Using Art
- Use soft landscapes to bring a sense of calm
- Pick bold nature scenes for energy and movement
- Add warmth with earthy colors and textures
- Try florals for softness and a romantic feel
-
Rotate art seasonally for a fresh perspective
Create Calm with Serene Landscapes
Are you looking to turn your bedroom or reading corner into a peaceful retreat? Choose art that features quiet natural scenes and muted color palettes.
-
Try water scenes like lakes or gentle rivers to bring in a sense of stillness
-
Choose soft colors such as pale blues, greens, and neutrals to help the space feel more relaxed and quiet
These pieces work well in spaces meant for rest, reflection, or winding down.

Add Energy with Bold Nature-Inspired Pieces
If your space needs a lift, go for art that brings energy and movement. This is great for living rooms, kitchens, or workspaces.
-
Use vibrant landscapes like sunsets, wildflower fields, or autumn forests to add visual energy
-
Look for abstract nature art with sweeping lines or bold colors to introduce motion and creative spark
Warm Things Up with Earthy Tones
Rooms that feel cold or too minimal can benefit from a dose of warmth. Art with rich, earthy colors and natural textures makes a space feel more inviting.
-
Woodland scenes with deep greens, browns, and reds create a cozy, welcoming feel
-
Textures in the artwork, like visible brushstrokes or details that mimic tree bark or leaves, add comfort and depth

Soften the Room with Florals
Want to make a room feel a little more romantic or refined? Florals are a great way to add softness and beauty without overwhelming the space.
-
Pick subtle floral prints in pastels or neutral tones for a light, airy feel
-
Look for pieces that play with light and shadow to add interest and a sense of elegance
Florals work well in bedrooms, dining areas, or anywhere you want a softer mood.
Match the Seasons with Rotating Artwork
You don’t have to stick with one piece all year. Rotating your artwork based on the seasons is an easy way to keep your space feeling connected to the world outside.
-
In spring and summer, use art with bright skies, blooming landscapes, or lush greenery
- In fall and winter, switch to art with cozy forest scenes, warm earth tones, or textured abstracts

Use Art as the Anchor
Let your art guide the mood of the room. By choosing one strong piece, you can shift the entire energy without changing anything else.
- Go bold with a large statement piece that sets the tone
- Or keep it subtle by choosing a smaller print and pairing it with accents like pillows or textiles in coordinating colors
