Five Ways to Style Colorful Art Prints in Your Interior

Colorful art prints can instantly bring life, personality, and warmth into your home. Whether you're drawn to whimsical fantasy animals, bold abstract shapes, or vibrant nature scenes, the right art print can completely transform a space. But how do you make sure those bold colors and expressive lines work with your interior, and not against it?


Here are 5 simple and creative ways to style colorful art prints in your home – no interior design degree required.

1. Build a Gallery Wall with a Theme

A gallery wall is a great way to mix multiple colorful art prints into one cohesive visual statement. To keep it balanced:

  • Pick a theme (e.g., fantasy animals, nature, or mood-based like joy or curiosity).

  • Use similar frames or stick to one color palette.

  • Mix sizes for a playful but structured look.

Pro tip: Lay out your arrangement on the floor first before hanging. Symmetry isn’t required – consistency is.


Try it: Combine 3–5 fantasy animal prints with gold or natural wood frames for a playful yet warm gallery corner.

2. Match Colors with Existing Decor

Colorful doesn’t mean chaotic. Let your art prints complement existing elements like cushions, rugs, or even plants. For example:

  • A print with warm tones (orange, pink, red) works beautifully with terracotta pots or peach-toned cushions.

  • Cool-colored prints (blue, green, purple) pair well with minimalist furniture or grey-toned walls.


This creates visual harmony without being too matchy-matchy.

3. Use Art as a Statement in a Neutral Space

Have a neutral interior? Perfect! Let one or two bold art prints be your main eye-catcher. Think of it as your room’s jewelry – minimal background, with a sparkling centerpiece.

Hang a large, colorful piece above a beige sofa or white dresser for maximum impact. It draws attention while keeping the room calm and cohesive.


4. Create Contrast with Bold Walls

Feeling adventurous? Flip the script: use colorful prints on colorful walls. Yes – it can work! Try pairing:


  • A deep green wall with bright pink or orange prints.

  • A navy background with prints that have gold or white details.


The trick? Make sure the print includes a color that contrasts or complements the wall tone.

5. Rotate with the Seasons or Your Mood

One of the best things about art prints? They're affordable enough to swap out. Change prints throughout the year to reflect seasons or your current energy:

  • Spring: florals, pastel creatures, playful colors.

  • Summer: bold animals, tropical hues.

  • Autumn: earthy tones, cozy illustrations.

  • Winter: cool blues, calm themes.

This keeps your space dynamic and keeps your creative spirit alive.


Final Thoughts

Styling colorful art prints doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a few simple tricks – from matching tones to creating contrast – you can create a home that reflects your unique personality and love for bold, imaginative artwork.
