Botanic Islamic artwork in sage and ivory, a soft match for light walls

Choosing Islamic Artwork by Wall Colour: A Simple Colour Guide

Quick answer: choose Islamic artwork that either blends with your wall colour for calm, or contrasts with it for impact. Warm, light walls suit soft tones. Deep walls suit emerald, black and gold.

White and cream walls

The easiest backdrop. Almost any Islamic artwork works. For a soft look, choose beige and sage. For contrast, choose black and gold or deep emerald.

Greige and sand walls

Tonal pieces in ivory, taupe and charcoal look refined here. Explore Serenity.

Green walls

Botanic pieces in sage and olive blend gently. Gold accents add warmth.

Navy and blue walls

Gold and ivory stand out beautifully. Mosaic-inspired art in turquoise and cobalt adds a related colour.

Charcoal and dark walls

Black and gold artwork glows against deep tones, so choose a lighter frame to keep it from disappearing. Explore Luxurious.

Frames and accents

  • Black frame: contrast on light walls.
  • Wood frame: warmth on neutral walls.
  • White frame: airy look on pale walls, with a darker surround so it does not vanish.

Frame finishes include black, wood, white and brown on selected pieces.
