If you're overwhelmed, don't worry. We've got you covered. By following these suggestions and taking accurate measurements, you can confidently determine the perfect picture frame size and mat dimensions needed to beautifully showcase your wall art and photos.
Selecting a frame is straightforward if you're framing prints without a mat board. The frame size, representing the inner opening of the frame, matches the print size. For instance, a standard picture frame size of 5" x 7" will fit a 5" x 7" frame. Yet, many photo and art prints come with mats, adding an extra layer to your framing efforts.
The most prevalent ready-made frames correspond to average sizes. These popular picture frame sizes include the following: 4" x 6", 5" x 7", and 8" x 10".
Determining the correct size is easy if you already have a print. All you need is a ruler or tape measure. You'll need to measure the Height and Width of your photo frame or artwork's outer dimensions to the nearest inch.
If you're considering adding a matted frame for your 5" x 7" print, you'll need to choose the appropriate frame size to accommodate both the print and the mat. In this case, opting for an 8" x 10" frame would be ideal. This frame size accounts for the added dimensions of the mat, ensuring a proper fit.
Measurements, such as 5" x 7", specify the size of the picture frame and the artwork it can hold. For instance, if you prefer a 5" x 7" non-matted frame, it's specifically designed to fit a 5" x 7" print without any additional matting.
Here is a guideline on how to measure standard picture frame sizes for photos & artwork:
The first and most important step in any framing project is measuring the artwork from one edge of the paper to the other. Ensure your measuring tool starts at zero, as some tools may have extra space initially.
Here are some simple ways to measure:
Finding the best frame for your photos, artwork, and keepsakes is a journey of discovery and personal expression. It's about more than just selecting a frame that fits the dimensions; it's about choosing one that complements and enhances the beauty and significance of your space.
Consider the theme of the piece you want to display. You'll need specific frame styles, whether it's a cherished family photo, a stunning piece of art, a collage display, or a collection of movie posters.
The frame should protect and showcase your item and add to its appeal. From sleek and modern designs to rustic and vintage wood frames, there's a quality frame out there that will preserve your memories and elevate them into works of art worthy of admiration and reflection.

The off-center effect can diminish the beauty of the painting, making it look messy and undermining the painstaking effort you put into finding the ideal positioning.
This can be extremely frustrating for most people but don't worry. We have some quick tips on uniformly hanging home decor items for your collection to ensure they always look great.
1. Drill the D-rings into the Frame: Attach the rings to the top of the frame's backing, positioning them on each side. Utilize a ruler to measure the distance and ensure uniform placement for a balanced presentation.
2. Thread a Wire through each D-ring: Pass a durable wire through each D-ring, ensuring a secure attachment. This hanging wire provides sturdy support for your frame display. It streamlines the hanging process by requiring only a single hole instead of two, simplifying installation and preserving your wall's integrity.
3. Hammer the Nail: Begin by positioning the nail at the desired location on the wall where you intend to hang your paintings. Use a hammer to gently push the nail into the wall, ensuring it's firmly secured and ready to support your artwork.
4. Enjoy your Wall Art: With the wire securely threaded through the D-ring, your framed piece will hang evenly, enhancing the aesthetics of your space. Additionally, for added stability, consider applying putty to the bottom corners of the frame to keep it securely in place and prevent any shifting or tilting over time.
A single-hook picture frame may tilt, while dual-hook structures pose another issue: the risk of hanging one side higher than the other. Once you notice the imbalance, you've likely already made holes in your wall. So, how do you correct this mistake?
Thankfully, there's a reliable method to ensure uniformity when hanging images. Here's a step-by-step process on how to achieve this consistency:
1. Measure the back of your Frame: Place painter’s tape along the edges of the back of your frame, covering its width. Next, use a pen or pencil to make your mark on the wall where you want to place your images.
2. Transfer Your Tape to the Wall: Remove the tape from your frame backing and apply it to the wall. Use the leveling tool to ensure the tape is even. (Note: unlike other tapes, painter's tape will never damage your wall.)
3. Nail Your Holes: Puncture the wall at your pencil marks with nails, ensuring they go through the tape. Then, remove the tape.
4. Hang Your Picture: Now, you'll have two evenly spaced, straight holes on your wall, perfectly prepared to accommodate your artwork, photos, and keepsakes.
Positioning pictures on a wall is just as important as selecting the images. Opting for a precise grid layout can evoke a formal ambiance, whereas clustering views within a defined square or rectangle lends a more informal feel. Whether you're organizing a collection of pictures or just one, it's advisable to center the artwork horizontally between two points. This technique helps maintain balance in the room and ensures a cohesive visual impact.
In most collections, a common thread typically brings the pieces together. In many situations, the imagery and frames share a consistent style. If you want to achieve a cohesive theme, it's essential to keep this in mind during the selection process.
Instantly elevate your home and transform any decor idea into a masterpiece with Americanflat. Our meticulously crafted picture frames and wall art offer extensive solutions and boast expertly designed hanging hardware for effortless installation and impeccable displays for every room.

Interior Design Style: Holiday decor doesn’t have to clash with the look of your home. Choose from vintage, modern, and colorful Christmas decorations to match seamlessly with your home’s interior design style.

Identifying Areas / Rooms: Analyze the different spaces in your house and identify the rooms that attract the most attention from visitors. Typically, these are the living room, dining area, and the entryway. Once you've identified these high-traffic areas, consider budget-friendly decoration options that can effortlessly elevate the aesthetic of your home.
Starting Early: The earlier you start collecting decorations, the more likely you are to find a bargain. Consider that many holiday decorations go on sale as soon as the holidays are over. It’s never too early to get ahead on your shopping – opt to go holiday shopping in January to get ahead for the following year.

The right retailer offers a variety of stylish and affordable home decor that doesn't compromise on quality. Knowing where to shop can significantly contribute to saving costs.
DIYing It: Creating your own holiday decorations not only injects a personal touch to your home but can also notably reduce some costs. It's a great way to express your creativity and personal style, making your space uniquely yours. Consider DIYing some decor projects this holiday season to foster family and friend bonding, have fun, and share an activity that everyone can participate in.

Welcome: Americanflat’s Vintage Treasures Collection featuring 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 piece gallery wall art sets. The perfect way to add timeless beauty to your walls.
First, let’s get a good understanding of what vintage is. Generally, vintage refers to anything from 20-99 years old. We’re talking anything from the Roaring 20s to the 90s Grunge era. That covers a lot of ground.
Finding ideal vintage decor involves determining which vintage era you love. Let’s explore various decades to find the vintage wall art that’s ideal for your home.
Starting with the 1920s, interior design was luxurious and glamorous. Art Deco, Bauhaus, and Modernism were all over Vogue. Homes were adorned with geometric shapes, rich jewel colors, and high-end fabrics.
Decorate your 1920s-styled home with our Luminous Harvest Art Set. Its elegance is the perfect addition to this timeless era. Its mix of still lifes, colorful nature scenes, and portraits will dress up your walls perfectly.
The 1930s continued the Art Deco look of the 20s but it bridged into the modern era. The furnishings were clean and streamlined. Designers were incorporating some industrial elements into updated styles that became more popular in the years ahead.
Capture the look of the 1930s with the Enigmatic Serenity Art Set. Its bold geometric shapes match the interior design theme to a tee. The cross between vintage and modernism is apparent with every paintbrush stroke.
Art Deco continued trending in 1940s home decor. The interior designs featured vibrant colors influenced by Hollywood glamor and the Jazz Age. Contrasting tones were gaining popularity.
Complement your 1940s home decor with our Sunlit Serenity Art Set. The subtle pops of color capture the spirit of the era. The natural themes bring a sense of serenity that transcends style.
The 1950s design aesthetic was simple and streamlined to create an uncluttered look. The colors were bold yet tasteful. Designers mixed vibrant hues with soft pastels.
The Fluttering Tranquility Art Set is a terrific vintage wall art set for 50s-styled homes. The bright colors make it an excellent way to celebrate the decade. It mixes elements to capture the era’s style transition.
The 1960s were a time of revolution and it showed in the decade’s interior design trends. People were favoring bold color choices. At the height of the midcentury modern movement, designers integrated a mix of industrial and graphic designs.
Your home’s walls will look perfect with the addition of the Autumn Whispers Art Set. Capturing the spirit of this era, the Alice in Wonderland-inspired mushrooms make it an ideal match for the decade.
In the 1970s, every home looked ready for a party. Designers used an assortment of vivid colors and materials to create an eclectic look.
The Midnight Blooms Art Set is the ideal vintage wall art for a 1970s-styled home. This ‘70s-inspired wall art set is a brilliant fusion of bright colors and intricate patterns, reminiscent of a time when design dared to be bold and colorful. Crafted from high-quality materials, each piece in the set promises longevity and a lasting impression.
The 1980s took the bold color theme to the next level with neon oranges, electric purples, and hot pinks. Designers moved away from the ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ look of the 70s with color-blocking schemes. The modern era was upon us.
The Altered Vintage Portraits Set screams 80s vintage. It captures a sense of irony that was true to that decade. The neon colors send it over the top.
The grunge era came, and people shied away from the bold colors of the previous decades. Industrial interiors were trending. Wood, steel, and raw elements characterized them. Minimalism was taking hold.
Americanflat’s Abstract Equilibrium Art Set is the ideal complement for a 1990s interior design look. Its low-key color scheme makes it the perfect match. Its nature themes add a grungy element that was trending at the time.
Incorporating vintage elements into your home decor doesn't have to mean endless hours sifting through crowded thrift stores or navigating dusty flea markets. While the thrill of the hunt can be rewarding for some, for many of us, the time and energy required simply isn't feasible.
Enter Americanflat's Vintage Treasures collection. This curated collection offers a variety of vintage-style artwork that effortlessly captures the timeless charm of past eras. With each art piece meticulously designed to mirror the look and feel of genuine vintage items, you get all the nostalgia without the hassle of thrifting.

We’re here to let you in on a secret. You can easily elevate your space without breaking the bank with some creativity and the right guidance! Create an upscale atmosphere and have money left over in your wallet. Discover affordable luxury items and ideas that will help you decorate your home on a budget.
The bed is the focal point of your room. New bedding can provide a complete transformation instantly. Pair an elegant jewel-tone comforter with vibrant sheets or create a tasteful aesthetic with muted neutral tones.
Say goodbye to boring, white bathroom walls. Add a sense of luxury by transforming your walls with peel-and-stick wallpaper or wall murals. Go neutral for a minimalist appeal, or go with a fun pattern to add a loud pop of style.
Opt for peel-and-stick tile kits, a DIY-friendly option that offers a wide range of designs and colors. Another affordable alternative is paint, particularly if your current backsplash is outdated or worn out. With a fresh coat of high-quality, moisture-resistant paint, you can breathe new life into your kitchen.
Adding cabinets and cubby holes to your entrance can be another cost-effective way to improve both the functionality and aesthetics of the room. These storage solutions can serve as organized homes for shoes, keys, mail, and other items that are often left cluttering the entrance. Cabinets with doors can hide away items for a neater appearance, while open cubby holes offer easy access and visibility.
Adding wall art, particularly curated-for-you art kits, is an excellent budget-friendly way to revamp any blank space in your home! These sets offer aesthetic collections of pieces that can instantly add depth, color, and character to the room. They serve as a reflection of your taste and personality, infusing your living space with elements of your unique style. Plus, they can also act as a visual centerpiece, drawing the eye and creating a focal point in the room.
What makes wall sets affordable is that they come together, eliminating the need for individual purchases and reducing the likelihood of mismatched pieces. With a single purchase, you can achieve a professional, tastefully decorated look even on a budget!

Modern Sunsets
Tropical Sunset - 9 Piece Framed Gallery Wall Art Set
A rich indigo and vibrant orange pairing works well across various wall colors and interior design, including mid-century modern, bohemian, traditional, and minimalist home decor. Orange is also one of the happiest colors on the spectrum, evoking feelings of energy, enthusiasm, and excitement.
A Touch of Maximalism
Just Chillin by Studio Grand-Pere Framed Print
The only thing better than a bold print is more than one print power-clashing in euphoric harmony, like this piece by Studio Grand-Pere, which utilizes every color of the rainbow. If you'd like one main wall to become a statement rather than a total more-is-more makeover, a framed oversized print is one way to achieve it.
Tropical Palms
Palm Silhouettes by Modern Tropical - 3 Piece Canvas Set
No routine watering necessary, these palm fronds and tropical plants are ready to hang and offer lush greenery to your space—perfect for just about any room in the house that needs a bit more life and liveliness. When matching furniture and textiles in the same room, opt for furnishings that trend towards ocean paradise. We love this look with a rattan woven basket, teak coffee table, light linen curtains, and other breezy accessories that remind us of a beach destination.
Poolside Glamour
Moroccan Dream by Sabina Fenn - Framed Print
Bring a color story to life, inspired by one of your favorite warm-weather moments. Orange trees, aquatics, terrazzo and stucco, and lush greens. This palette looks perfect and polished with streamlined black or brushed gold fixtures.
Abstract Warmth
<Apricot Dawn by Louise Robinson Wall Art - 2 Piece Framed Print Set>
Dreamy washes of color like this creamsicle duo by Louise Robinson are a satisfying reminder that brightening up a space can also be subtle and achieved with pieces and furnishings that evoke luxury and comfort. We love this print set with its gallery black frames, which would elevate a room in an instant, such as above a bed or on a living room wall.
No matter which aesthetic appeals to you most, these all complement each other and are an easy way to stave off winter blues while refreshing your home and breathing new energy into the space. Shop these and more inspired ideas at Americanflat.com.
]]>The 70s was a veritable interior design smorgasbord of rattan, macrame, terrazzo, fringe, and shag. Smatterings of the era are found across popular mainstream trends that we still know and love today, like Bohemian, minimalist modern, and traditional home design. Geometric shapes, technicolor palettes, and power-clashing patterns are hallmarks of 70s interior design.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to work with the best design elements of the decade.
Channel Technicolor Energy
2022 is bringing a decidedly optimistic energy, and there’s no better way to celebrate it than with a euphoric design that is anything but reserved. Incorporate literal or more subtle nods to rainbows in wall art, area rugs, textiles, and bedding.
Rainbow Candy Cane by Rosi Feist
Mash-Up Styles for an Eclectic Statement
Just like the macrame owls, shag carpet, and fantastic plastic surfaces that covered 70s homes—the decade was a glorious soup of inspiration. The 2022 update on this idea uses magenta, citrus, periwinkle, and indigo as vibrant accent colors to tie together different design elements. Couple a statement gallery wall with muted surroundings or use it to inspire a more-is-more space.
<Botanical Boho Girl - 9 Piece Framed Gallery Set>
This gallery wall set shows how everything can be a bold compliment, from a maximalist centerpiece to a line drawing.
Warm Up With Rust and Browns
Like a brown and yellow crochet throw, this update has terracotta and earthy neutrals. Refresh your space with neutral white walls and an oversized two-piece set.
<Earthy Boho Rainbows Art by Wall + Wonder>
Or pair this rich color story with modern organic decor, potted plants, and wood grain paneled furniture pieces and accessories.
Tiny House Plants by Pauline Stanley

Go Ahead by Elyse Burns
Change your space, change your outlook.
Shift your perspective with visual elements, such as well-designed wall art. Aspirational décor can positively influence your daily processes and foster an environment of professional creativity.
Watercolor Type by Motivated Type - 3 Piece Gallery Wall Set
Choose a consistent theme.
Employ color psychology and curate a cohesive feel across your space from your pens and desk accessories to your area rug and throw pillows. By choosing room accessories and finishes consistent with a scheme and color story, you can reduce noise and create the aesthetic and atmosphere you want. For example, warm neutrals with a few bright citrus accents convey a bright, optimistic feel. Blues are frequently used in professional, diplomatic atmospheres to communicate stability, trust, and collaboration. An easy way to do this is by creating an analogous color scheme, which consists of picking three colors found together on a 12-spoke color wheel.
Look forward to today and tomorrow.
Taking a pen to paper to write down important dates, to-do’s, and things to remember later can leave your mind in a refreshingly clear state. Ease the burden of trying to remember every little detail by planning out your week in advance or writing things down as you go. We love a bright calendar that does double-duty: organization and beauty.

Design with function but embrace spontaneity.
There is a whole cottage industry devoted to minimal living and reducing clutter. But what all approaches share is an objective of living with streamlined purpose and gratitude. Take time over the holidays to trim down and sort the piles of stuff (whether it’s papers to sort or closets to reorganize) so that when you return to full speed, you have the room to say yes to new and fulfilling opportunities and lean wholly into your path and potential for 2022.

]]>As part of the blues family, Veri Peri offers unlimited interior design and decor potential. Blues are a natural fit for a range of room types, from a primary suite to a bathroom or home office—evoking a quality of stability and strength as well as calm and serenity. Veri Peri also features an up-tempo red violet undertone that gives a more energetic edge than some of its blue predecessors.
Here are four ways to incorporate this newly trending color into your home design and decor:
Contemporary Vibrance
A large stretched canvas adds an eclectic art gallery feel to a mid-century, industrial, or modern home design. Veri Peri plays well as a background or accent color, dressing up a white or light gray wall with panache.
Sleeping Angel by Alja Hovart
Painterly Illustrations
Capturing more of the serene side of Veri Peri, violet-hued, organic-inspired subject matters work well for bedrooms and primary suite bathrooms. Gold accents and hardware gives the blue color family a luxurious and updated aesthetic.
Coneflower by Cami Monet
Abstract Wonder
Layers of a geode, ripples on an evening coastline, the periphery of an aurora borealis—striking violet can be found in both grand overtures and subtle details in nature. Opt for a larger art piece and use it as a statement installment for a high-traffic gathering space, such as a family room, dining room, or open concept living area.
Coastal Themes
Ocean waves are a favorite interior design choice because of the ways it plays up different interior design styles and room purposes. Pair beach photography or watercolor art pieces with textiles in neutral, warm hues like PANTONE’s Sheer Bliss or dark, moody purples like Violet Storm. The coastal theme also works well for an inspired gallery wall collection.

Modern Ethereal
Hand Painted Watercolor Monstera Leaf
Somewhere between minimalist and maximalist is a blend of clarity and color. Nersisyan’s pieces capture this mood with crisp white backgrounds that bring forms to the front and make the color stories all the more brilliant.
“In my everyday life, I think a lot about painting. My logic is already constructed so that everything I see or feel I try to visualize in my mind. Those visualizations, which are completely occupying my mind, are becoming a force to reflect them as artwork,” says Nersisyan.
Inspired Beauty
Hand Painted Watercolor Palm Trees
Purple Palms by Suren Nersisyan
Inspired fine art pieces add a high-end feel to wall space, instantly elevating a room, whether it's brightening up a guest bathroom or placing a focal point for areas for entertaining. With their gallery framing and museum-quality paper, each print can add color to a neutral wall or complement a gallery wall or existing wall color.
“It can be in many places—in the pet store, on the street, while I am walking, or even when I am at a party with a noisy crowd. I can look out of the window and see something inspiring. I think anyone who is searching for beauty and harmony will always find it somewhere,” he explained. “I am certain there is always something inspiring around us. We just need to learn how to see those things.”

]]>The 90s were a colorful mashup of big trends and big personalities. It was a decade that gave us Titanic, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Boyz n The Hood, and Fight Club. And unique cultural icons and inspiration from Kurt Cobain’s iconic, flannel-clad grunge to Cher Horowitz and friends’ bold Clueless glam.
This season, the 90s are influencing home trends. With so much inspiration to choose from, there’s no wrong way to bring the decade into your home and make it part of your design and décor!
Black & White Print
Big Neons
Maximalist and full impact. Neons lights brighten up interior design themes from restaurant walls to rollerskating rinks to living spaces. Make ultra 90s neon part of your space schematic with accents like a stretched canvas, light fixture, or area rug.Suppose you want a more contemporary take. In that case, you can utilize wall art with color stories that incorporates bright colors in festive fashion like this piece by Rosi Feist.
Floral Pastels
Everyone remembers those couch and deck furniture cushions that featured pastel pink brocade floral patterns. That dreamy, nostalgic mix of pink and mint are making a comeback with it-color neutrals in orange creamsicle, peach, aqua, and turquoise.
Always Looking For Something by Studio Grand-Pere
Keep the accompaniment simple — modern white walls, airy knits, bamboo, and light wood features compliment this duo.

]]>The kitchen is the heart of the home — for cooking, eating, gathering, sharing, and living. As such, kitchens hold a special space in home design. The best kitchen décor combines form and function, bringing colors, patterns, and shapes together for a cohesive aesthetic.
The best of this season plays into a return to social. With more friends and family joining us for dinner or special events, trends are curated around updating our existing spaces to a relaxed yet luxurious environment that is perfect for living well and entertaining.
Organic Minimalism
The bright whites, stone, and ceramics that give Minimalist style a decidedly laid-back feel are enlivened with plants and natural elements. This season’s new neutrals like aqua, apricot, sky blue, stone, and sand call upon nature for design guidance. Organic Minimalist style is perfect for smaller kitchens or for creating an open feel. White walls throughout the home add continuity to shake off the feeling of containment or space separation. Art is a perfect nature complement, especially for infusing more light and depth into your kitchen.
Add a large statement piece (e.g., 32”x48”) to a wall that lacks cabinets or shelving. We love these pieces for Minimalist kitchens:
Traditional Cottage
The traditional cottage is an update on the modern rustic that has met mainstream saturation. Cottages kitchens give cozy feels with stone hearths and shaker cabinets, mismatched teacups on flannel, and bread baking in the oven. Traditional kitchens may be a design choice or an inherited style, but just because they are an older design does not mean they cannot have a spark and “now” feeling of their own.
Use art to tie together new designs with older features like a framed piece above a stove or a set or grouping on a wall that needs extra visual interest.

Life of the Party
Maximalism is one of our favorite trends because it encompasses anything and everything, completely customizable for the individual. Whether it’s jewel-tone painted cabinets, bold wrapped canvases, art galleries, or busy backsplashes, the Life of the Party trend toes a line between visual carnival and too much. And we are here for it.
Don’t hold back with Life of the Party. Choose everything that makes you happy and arrange, and arrange, and arrange some more. Find floating shelves for special collections or to prop up art pieces that complement your Maximalist scheme.

]]>The American Southwest beckons to the adventurers-at-heart. Geological wonders and diverse topography take travelers on the journey of a lifetime. Cactuses and succulents of the desert meet the soaring heights and aspen forests of mountain ranges. These locations are filled with beauty that fires up creative art and inspired design.
Our newly curated Southwest collection offers easy and trend-forward ways to incorporate Southwest elements into your home decor.
Desert Photography
Desert photography pieces immediately elevate wall and shelf spaces. Some of our favorite groupings are triptychs or gallery wall sets with coordinating colors and themes. Framed photography complements different decor styles, from the off-the-grid, traditional cabin to a modern, urban loft to a bohemian bungalow.
Modern Design and Color Stories
Create a Southwest-inspired room or home design, drawing from an art piece or nature scene. Choose a hue and create a complementary color scheme by pairing a color from the opposite side of the color wheel. For example, azure blue and golden orange or sandstone red and succulent green. Choose a neutral wall color to bring the art forward.

Classic Nostalgia
For many of us, postcards were one of the first ways we learned how to decorate when we were young — picking up reminders of our trips, whether near or far. Anderson Design Group takes souvenir enthusiasm to the next level with National Park pieces.

]]>There is room for everyone and every design taste in the Maximalist home trend. Maximalism pulls from traditional, bohemian, and classic styles, blurring lines and power-clashing evocative colors. At the opposite end of the spectrum from Minimalism, Maximalism is not subtle. Therein lies its beauty.
Here, we take a look at easy ways to make the more-is-more trend yours.
Pair bright walls with artwork.
First, choose the wall treatment: Magenta, aqua, saffron, turquoise, cobalt, and ultra-white paint colors prep wall surfaces with eye-catching backgrounds. Wallpaper is another way to bring together trend-forward colors and patterns for a bold presentation (bonus points for a wallpapered ceiling!).
Next, pick statement art pieces that celebrate color stories, taste, or theme. Maximalism is a blend of your favorite things, so don’t be shy about mixing and matching trends. Curate according to intuition and expression.

Peel & Stick Wallpaper Roll - Tie Die Tribal
Curate collections with gusto.
Maximalism is all about the extra. Display your collections with a flourish, from tufted throw pillows to sculptures and art. Gallery walls are an easy way to add an editorial Maximalism statement to a room — anchor it with your favorite piece or kickstart the collection with a hand-selected Americanflat gallery wall set.

Just Chillin' By Studio Grand Pere - 6 Piece Gallery Wall
Layer eclectic design taste.
Generously layer design elements — pile shelves with books, add vintage accents, lay down a gorgeous bohemian rug. One of our favorite ways to add Maximalist flair to a room is with plants like palms, canes, fiddle leaf fig trees, and philodendrons. You can always use greenery-inspired art and wallpaper for a lush look too!

]]>“Home is where the heart is” is more than a cute idiom. It is the perfect philosophy for designing a space that puts you at ease and helps you relax into your surroundings to spend more time in joy and mindfulness. Perhaps it is a soft throw, a warm color story, or the sight of sunshine coming through the window — these small comforts have an amazing impact.
Using Americanflat art as inspiration, we’ve listed our five favorite ways to transform interior spaces into a cozy and restful retreat:
Neutral, warm tones invoke feelings of calm, relaxation, peace, and mindfulness. Neutrals can include white, gray, brown, and beige — trending neutrals include bronze, pale apricot, almond, light granite gray, and misty aqua. The upside to using a neutral base is that they are incredibly easy to decorate with and match furniture, textiles, and art.

Only for a Moment Coastal - 6 Piece Set
Wellness and wellbeing are derived from natural elements. One way to brighten up a corner or infuse a room with a spa-like feel is to add a potted plant or hang art that includes outdoors-inspiration like this gallery set by Sisi and Seb.
With You in Malibu by Sisi and Seb - 8 Piece Set
Neutral Boho Travels by Sabina Fenn
Minimal modern to traditional home design styles all benefit from a thoughtful curation of fabrics and textures. That’s why we love this Americanflat-exclusive set of a seagrass basket and light but cozy cotton throw blanket — it’s easy to decorate with and serves multiple design purposes.
One of the tenements of Feng Shui is giving purpose to each room through the thoughtful placement of furniture pieces, art, plants, and other home decor. This confluence is facilitated by minimizing clutter and adding balance for a healthy flow that welcomes new and optimistic energy.
Beach Broadwalk - 6 Piece Set
Natural light not only makes a space brighter and more spacious, but it also offers an array of wellness benefits like warding off seasonal depression, improving sleep, and boosting immunity. Capture more light by adding mirrors, removing heavy window treatments in favor of lighter fabrics, and choosing lighter neutral tones.

Dress Up Your Home With These Traditional Home Décor Themes
European villas, elegant estates, moss-covered castles, and country manors — traditional design enjoys a long and storied history of warm and luxurious spaces worldwide. There’s nothing quite like the sheen of a polished marble mantle, a glittering light fixture, metallic sconces, jewel-tone rugs, and deep tufted chairs.
Traditional home décor has a timeless appeal that adds a stately expression with the added design potential of elegantly complimenting modern elements. Here are three traditional themes that elevate interior design and achieve a timeless yet very “now” aesthetic.
Florals and Vignettes
Florals and still lifes have long been ubiquitously pleasing mainstays in traditional design. Floral bouquet art is an easy way to add a pop of rich color to a neutral-tone wall. Vignettes offer a visual composition that draws the eye with objects and tones. Some of our favorite pieces include work by Dutch artist Hans Paus and watercolor florals by New Mexican artist Shealeen Louise.

Still Life 5 by Hans Paus Black Framed Print
Ocean and Nautical Scenes
Storybook beaches, sailboats, and lighthouses are perfect design additions for a stand-alone statement piece in a library den or home office or as part of a gallery wall in the main living space. We love oceanic scenes by American Impressionist Richard Wallich, who captures his subjects with “boundless energy, unique color palette, and exuberant brush strokes.”

Countryside Vistas
Country scenes offer a window into the storybook as nostalgia blends with lush green, sky blue, and goldenrod field color stories. Paus focuses on “The ancient landscape of his native soil, the region Twente, is beside the impressions of his travels, a great source of inspiration. He gives a contemporary twist to the traditional impressionistic remembrance with vivid colors and a unique wet in wet painting technique.”

We love the whole visual experience of summer. Bright color stories, bold florals, and beachy themes infuse upbeat sunshine, sand, and a vacation feel into the home. Upgrade rooms by incorporating the best of summer with these art categories, which offer inspired style and color all year-round.
Tropical Touch
Let the art guide your surroundings with a luxury bohemian twist — golden sunbeams, earthy terra cotta, lemon trees, and leafy garden features transform a room’s aesthetic into a summery getaway. Seagrass baskets and lightweight woven throws bring together the look.
Tropical Morning by Modern Tropical
Eye-catching patterns in brilliant pairings of pink and green, orange and royal purple, and seaside pastels offer a contemporary take on summer home decor. We love these looks on stretched canvas for the office or framed and polished for a statement gallery wall addition.

Minimalism - an art trend that sprung from the 1950s - is often personified as a liberating, freeing style. Less stuff welcomes more meaningful curation into what elements to include.
One of our favorite minimalist artists to feature in-room makeovers is European artist Explicit Design, who excels in line drawings that are both simple and poignant. “I believe that we all search for mood boosters and inspiration with all surroundings, and I can only hope for more people finding it in my work.”
Minimalism is a zen approach to decorating a space. Large, simple shapes and clean, uncluttered home designs exude restorative balance — freeing up living-working-playing to be more creative, productive, and relaxed. Create your minimalist space with these 5 simple steps:

Get inspired with these three design tips for sprucing up bedroom décor with a bold replacement to the traditional headboard:

Use our template - that comes with every set purchase - to create a symmetrical, horizontal layout.

Artist Spotlight: Ejaaz Haniff
The real magic of Ejaaz Haniff’s art lies in his choice of cohesive and continuous colors and shapes. “The colors are bright and fun, mixing with texture to make it look like the print is jumping right off the wall,” says Haniff about his stand-out paintings where contemporary composition collides with Mid Century Modern sentiments.
Mid Century Transformed
Ejaaz’s pieces bring together the tenements of Mid Century design while still being refreshingly now and new. Organic forms and bold, simple designs hearken to Mid Century modern furniture and objects. Vinyl, plexiglas, and teak wood are alluded to through stylistic lines and brush strokes.
Americanflat features an extensive library of Haniff’s pieces. Here are four listings that showcase various Mid Century interpretations and the best of modern home decor:
