-Neutral-tone art, prints or textiles are the best option to lighten a dark wall space

-Do not try to match the art to the walls, but stay in the same tonal range: Brown walls could have cream or off-white; deep grey walls should stick to cooler whites like alabaster or light grey/white

Choose light-colored or minimalist abstract style art paintings and prints.

Artwork has same warm tones and can work with warmer walls.
