Brown Art Prints and Creating Serene Spaces Using Colour
1st Sep 2022
When it comes to decor, brown art prints can appeal to a huge spectrum of styles and tastes. As a relatively neutral colour, we often associate brown with other earth tones, and it is considered a colour that represents stability, nature and warmth. This lends itself to a variety of styles of artwork and offers a huge palette of options and colour pairings that work well in almost any space regardless of existing decor which you can view here!

Browns and Earth Tone Prints

Earth tones are extremely popular. We are seeing them more and more in places like children's bedrooms and playrooms as they are relaxing and considered to be gender-neutral. With an increased interest in earth-toned furniture, clothing and toys, it's no surprise that many are looking at brown art prints and those containing natural tones to tie in all of these other items and create a relaxing and cohesive environment in their homes. An earth-tone is really any colour that contains some brown or is rooted in nature. They are commonly based on soils, clays and greenery which is why they fit together so naturally. Earth tone art prints bring such serenity because of their associations with nature and this is why art prints based on earth tones and browns are so popular in the home and specifically in relaxing areas like bedrooms and living rooms. Nature is and always has been a huge part of art, and using colours that reflect the natural, opens up more opportunities for abstract art prints or design styles that communicate the emotions associated with nature whilst also maintaining the fun and unique elements of a print.

Neutral and Relaxing Brown Art Prints
The natural appeal of browns and sky blues extends beyond these earth tones. We often see “airy” watercolour browns used to depict relaxing landscapes in calming countryside prints. Brown art prints can help to tie in the serenity of the natural outdoors to your inside spaces and bring with them a soothing quality to your interior design.
Industrial Appeal Brown
art prints are not exclusively about relaxation. The colour is diverse in its appeal and is often heavily featured in work that depicts a more industrial view of the world we live in. Buildings and brickwork have been a common theme in industrial style art prints for many years. Architectural drawings can range from the technical to the artistic and the styling can really help a feature art print to stand out and show off an interest in iconic locations and industrial roots.
Nature & The World
Its ties to nature mean that brown art prints can explore the diversity and beauty of the world we live in. Whether it’s maps or sweeping vistas, artwork can help us to bring depictions of beautiful places far from our homes into our lives and into our decor. The nature and earthliness of the colour brown lends itself to so many places and cultures around the world and allows artists to express themselves and their homes in a way that is relatable and beautiful to people anywhere else in the world. Its ties to the natural elements make brown art prints the perfect accompaniment to a plant-filled home or a room with an appreciation of natural wood furnishings.
