5 Photography Wall Art Themes for Every Room in Your Home

Transform Your Space with Art That Resonates to You

Choosing the right wall decor for your home is more than just simply decorating—it’s about telling a story that speaks to your experiences, passions, and personality.  High-quality archival art has the power to transform any room, creating spaces that feel inspiring, calming, or energizing. Unlike generic big-box decor, high quality acrylic, metal and canvas fine art photography adds a unique and personal touch, offering pieces that evoke emotions and memories every time you see them.

Let’s explore the top five photography themes that work well in various rooms of your home, from serene landscapes in the bedroom to dynamic abstracts in the office. With each theme, we’ll discuss tips for selecting colors, enhancing your space, and connecting with art that feels uniquely yours.

1. Landscapes for the Living Room: Bringing the Outdoors In

The living room is often the heart of the home, where family and friends gather to relax and connect. Choosing a nature-inspired theme like Landscape photography creates an inviting atmosphere that grounds the space. Landscapes or Water-related landscapes are particularly powerful because they allow you to bring the tranquility of the outdoors inside, which can be especially calming in a high-traffic area like the living room.

Why Landscape Photography?  

High-quality landscape photography, such as mountain ranges, beaches, or forest scenes, brings a sense of vastness and peace, adding depth and character to a room. Landscape photos with rich, earthy colors or soft blues and greens can complement a variety of color schemes, making them versatile for almost any decor.

Look for Lisa Blount’s landscape photography pieces or water themed landscapes, which capture the beauty of nature in vivid detail. These images transport you to serene and awe-inspiring locations, making them ideal for creating a relaxing yet visually engaging focal point in your living room.

Tips for Choosing Landscapes:

- Colors: Select landscapes that harmonize with your room’s color palette. Soft greens, blues, and browns can blend well with neutral decor, while vibrant scenes add a pop of color without overwhelming the space.
- Connection: Choose scenes that resonate with you personally—maybe it’s a mountain range that reminds you of a memorable trip or a coastal view that evokes a sense of peace.

The elegant hanging lights and subtle greenery further complement the calm, serene atmosphere, making this wall art a captivating centerpiece in the room, perfect for relaxation and inspiration.


2. Botanicals for the Bedroom: Embrace Tranquility

The bedroom is your sanctuary, a place of rest and rejuvenation. For this reason, botanical photography is a wonderful choice, as it brings a soft, natural element that complements a calming environment. Botanical pieces, like flowers or leaves, have gentle textures and soft colors, perfect for creating a serene space that feels connected to nature.

Why Botanical Photography?

Botanical photography captures the delicate details of plants, leaves, and flowers in high-quality art, providing a close-up look at nature’s intricate designs. These pieces work well with earthy or pastel color schemes, creating a restful atmosphere conducive to winding down.

Tips for Choosing Botanicals:

- Colors: Opt for soft, muted tones like greens, whites, or gentle pinks for a soothing effect. Alternatively, choose a bold floral print to create a focal point while keeping the rest of the decor neutral.
- Connection: Choose botanicals that evoke a specific emotion, like a favorite flower or plant that has sentimental value. This personal connection will make your bedroom feel like a true retreat.

3. Abstracts for the Office: Inspire Creativity and Focus

The office is where productivity and creativity thrive, and abstract nature photography is perfect for adding an energetic, thought-provoking vibe. Abstracts don’t represent literal subjects, allowing each viewer to interpret them differently, which can stimulate creativity and focus—two essential elements for a productive workspace.

Why Abstract Photography?

High-quality abstract photography can introduce bold colors, dynamic patterns, and unique textures that inspire innovation and curiosity. Abstract pieces work especially well in modern or minimalist decor, adding visual interest without distracting from your workspace.

Tips for Choosing Abstracts:

- Colors: Choose colors that align with the atmosphere you want to create. For a calming workspace, opt for cool tones like blues and greens. For more energy, go with warm tones like oranges or reds.
- Connection: Look for abstract pieces that resonate with you and make you feel motivated. Abstract art is personal and open to interpretation, so choose something that sparks your imagination.

4. Wildlife for the Dining Room: Add Character and Warmth

The dining room is a social space where people come together to share meals and conversations. Adding wildlife photography to this room brings a touch of warmth, curiosity, and elegance. Images of animals in their natural habitats connect us to the beauty of the animal kingdom, sparking both admiration and conversation.

Why Wildlife Photography?

High-quality wildlife photography, featuring animals in candid, powerful moments, adds character and personality to the dining room. From majestic moose to graceful birds, these pieces create an inviting atmosphere, drawing guests into the scene and adding visual interest to mealtime gatherings.

Lisa Blount’s wildlife photography offers stunning close-ups and wide shots that capture the essence of animals in their habitats. These images create a warm, earthy atmosphere that pairs well with rustic or nature-themed decor.

Tips for Choosing Wildlife Art:

- Colors:  Opt for natural colors that complement your dining room’s palette. Earthy tones, forest greens, and deep browns add to a warm and cozy atmosphere.
- Connection: Choose animals or scenes that resonate with you—perhaps a mpose that reminds you of an unforgettable trip to the mountains or a red bird that brings back memories of a peaceful walk outdoors.

5. Landmarks for the Entryway: Make a Lasting First Impression

Your entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home, making it the perfect place to showcase landmarks photography. Landmarks, whether of vibrant urban skylines or quiet, charming streets, add an element of sophistication and adventure, reflecting the energy and vibrancy of life.

Why Landmark Photography?

High-quality landmark photography can introduce viewers to the architectural beauty of famous landmarks or the charm of a hidden alleyway, creating a dynamic first impression. Landmarks add depth to an entryway, welcoming guests with a sense of place and inviting them to explore further.

Lisa Blount’s landmark collection includes iconic landmarks and breathtaking urban scenes that capture the essence of famous cities. These pieces are perfect for the entryway, giving guests a glimpse into your love for travel and architecture.

Tips for Choosing Landmarks:

- Colors: Go for dramatic black-and-white cityscapes for a timeless look or choose a colorful skyline to make a bold statement.
- Connection: Select scenes that remind you of cities you’ve visited or dream of visiting. A familiar landmark brings personal meaning and sparks conversation with guests.

 

The Importance of Quality and Connection

When selecting wall art, it’s tempting to go with mass-produced prints or generic art from big-box stores. But high-quality fine art photography offers a depth and richness that standard prints simply can’t replicate. Investing in fine art means choosing pieces crafted with intention, using archival materials that maintain their vibrancy and detail over time.

It’s also crucial to select art that resonates with you personally. Art is more than decoration; it’s a reflection of your life’s experiences, emotions, and aspirations. Whether it’s a landscape that reminds you of a favorite trip, an abstract that inspires creativity, or a cityscape that evokes memories of travel, the right art will bring meaning to your space.

By selecting high-quality fine art photography that speaks to your tastes and experiences, you’ll transform your home into a place of inspiration, comfort, and creativity.

Find out about the ARTIST behind the ART - Lisa Blount   

 

Since ART is a true reflection of what the artist sees, feels, and interprets - it is therefore a reflection of ones self .... thru their ART.

 

Read more to find out who I am as an artist, why I create, and what makes my work unique. My goal isn’t just to sell art—it’s to create connections through experiences, memories, and storytelling.



Lisa Blount fine art photographerBorn in California and raised in Arkansas, Lisa has lived within seven miles of her grandparents’ 1936 homesteadsince she was ten years old. As an only child of an only child, she spent countless hours fueling her creativity—crafting, designing, and refining ideas.   While Arkansas has changed over the years, Lisa remains drawn to life’s simple yet beautiful moments, finding inspiration in nature, landscapes, and the great outdoors.

Lisa’s passion for travel and photography comes to life in her artwork, where she transforms memories and experiences into fine art for others to enjoy. Whether capturing the serene beauty of a distant landscape or the colors of an unforgettable journey, she seeks to preserve the essence of a moment through her work.

Married to her husband Jim for over 30 years, Lisa is also a proud mom to two incredible boys—who, in her opinion, hang the moon. They play many roles in her artistic journey—sometimes as the subjects, the equipment carriers, the art installers, the travel companions, and always as the inspiration behind her creativity. Above all, they are the reason she continues pushing forward to create, capture, and share beauty with the world.

   

Q: What is your favorite past-time or hobby?

A: Of course, photography is my passion—but it's more than just taking pictures. I’ve spent years capturing moments, creating digital photo books, scrapbooking, and making collages. I love the creative process behind photography just as much as I love the photos themselves.

 

Q: How did you first get into photography?

A: I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t taking pictures! As a kid, I always stocked up on film or disposable cameras before school trips and vacations. About 14 years ago, before a family trip to Yellowstone, I invested in my first “real” camera because I wanted to capture the wildlife. That trip sparked my journey into fine art photography, and I haven’t stopped capturing experiences since.

 

Q: What type of photographer are you?

A: I consider myself an Experience Photographer—a term I explain in detail in my blog! My art isn’t just about taking pictures; it’s about capturing moments, emotions, and memories that connect with people on a deeper level.

 

Q: What is your favorite thing to photograph?

A: Whatever catches my eye at the moment! I don’t force a shot—I wait for the right moment to unfold naturally. I’m drawn to nature, abstract textures, and landscapes, but one of my favorite subjects is lichen. The intricate details, colors, and patterns in lichen are like miniature abstract paintings in nature!

 

Q: How does your art relate to your life story?

A: My art has always been about capturing experiences. When my kids were little, I took photos to document our travels so they could relive the memories through scrapbooks. Over time, I realized those captured moments weren’t just for them—they were for me, too.

Later, as my parents aged, I saw firsthand how photography could be a powerful tool for memory. My father had vascular dementia, and I used my photos to help him recall faces, places, and his life story. Watching him flip through those pictures, trying to piece together memories, was when I truly realized the impact of art—it’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about pausing, reflecting, and remembering.  Life is short - enjoy the moment and remember the happiness.  That’s when Lisa Blount Photography took on a deeper purpose.

 

 

Q: What makes your art different?

A: Two things: experience and scale.

  1. My art isn’t just a picture—it’s an experience. Each piece is meant to evoke a memory, spark a feeling, or remind you of a journey, a place, or a time in your life.
  2. I offer extra-large, statement-sized art. Seeing a photograph in a tiny viewfinder is one thing, but seeing it printed several feet wide on a wall is an entirely different experience!

 

Q: Isn’t it just a photo?

A: Yes… and no! It starts as a photograph, but the process I use turns it into fine art. I print only on premium materials like TruLife Acrylic, Chromaluxe High Gloss Metal, and Dibond Brushed Metal—each chosen for its ability to bring out depth, color, and detail. My pieces are large, bold, and conversation starters—so much more than just a simple photo.

 

Q: Why do you select those specific print mediums?

A: I want my art to be the highest quality possible, and these mediums allow the colors to pop, the details to shine, and the image to feel immersive. Plus, they are ready-to-hang with no need for framing. If you’re going to invest in fine art, it should be something you’re proud to display for years to come.

I spent several years researching, testing, and refining print mediums, products, and vendors to ensure I offer only the best. As technology evolves, I continually evaluate new materials, ensuring they meet or exceed my high standards, so you always receive the finest quality available.

 

Q: Is your art signed?

A: Yes! All of my art is digitally signed before printing, ensuring authenticity and a personal touch.

 

Q: Do you offer limited edition pieces?

A: Absolutely! I have several limited edition pieces that are digitally signed and numbered, making them exclusive collector’s items.

 

Q: I can't envision art in a room—do you have any suggestions?

A: Absolutely! As an artist, I believe art should be the focal point of a space, drawing the eye and setting the tone for the entire room. To help with that, I’ve created mood boards that pair my artwork with furniture, color palettes, and design styles. These can be found in my blog: ART with Mood Boards.

Many people have told me they love seeing how art can transform a space, and they look forward to each new mood board I create. It’s a great way to visualize how a piece will look in your home or office before making a decision!

Q: Where can I see your art?

A: I’m online! You can explore my full collection at www.lisablountphotography.com, and follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.  Sign up for my NEWSLETTER and stay up-to-date with  new releases, behind-the-scenes insights, and design inspiration.

But I get it—sometimes you want to see the art in person before making a decision. That’s why I have a gallery at a local business in Springdale, Arkansas, where several select pieces are on display. Some are available for sale on-site, while others can be ordered and shipped directly to your home or office. If you'd like to visit, just contact me for an appointment, and I’ll be happy to walk you through the collection.

Also,  I partner with a Interior Design Firms to host "Art, Wine & Design"—a special evening where you can meet both designers and the artist (me!). It’s an exciting event with a great atmosphere, and I always bring a selection of new art pieces, as well as smaller take-home items like acrylic blocks, greeting cards, coasters, and magnets.

 

Q: Where in the U.S. do you have art?

A: My art has found homes across the United States, with customers from coast to coast purchasing pieces for their homes and offices.

I’m also deeply honored to have two of my pieces displayed in the budget room of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. This was a completely unexpected request, and I’m incredibly grateful that my work represents Northwest Arkansas in such a historic space.  The art now hangs in the Congressman's office.  university arkansas old main tower art by Lisa Blount

All purchases, however, are made exclusively through my website at www.lisablountphotography.com or by contacting me directly.


Q: Is your art made in the USA?

A: Yes! I’m proud to say that all of my art is printed and assembled in the USA. When you purchase from me, you’re supporting at least two small businesses right here in the U.S.

 

Q: I need a specific size, but I don’t see it listed.

A: Great question! Most of my prints can be custom-sized to fit your specific space. Just reach out, and I’ll be happy to provide a custom quote.

One of the things I love most about my work is the ability to offer flexibility in sizing. Unlike mass-produced retail prints, I consider myself a boutique artist, focusing on personalized selections for my customers. I understand that not all art fits in every space—and it shouldn’t. Your art should be as unique as you and your home.

Let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to make it work! You can contact me directly through my website or you can  Email me.

 

Q: How do I know which size art is right for my space?

A: Choosing the right size for your art is important! A general rule is that artwork should fill two-thirds to three-quarters of your wall space or be about 60-75% of the width of your furniture (like a couch or bed). If you’re unsure, I recommend using painter’s tape to map out different sizes on your wall or reaching out—I’m happy to provide guidance!   .... I have a BLOG on that!   

 

Q: What makes your art different from mass-produced prints?

A: Great question!!  Unlike mass-produced prints, my work is artist-selected, professionally printed, and available in custom sizes. Each piece is crafted using premium, archive-rated, museum-quality materials like TruLife Acrylic, Chromaluxe High Gloss Metal, and Dibond Brushed Metal, offering superior durability, clarity, and depth. Plus, every piece is digitally signed, ensuring authenticity.

 

Q: Do you offer framing options?

A: Most of my pieces are designed to be frameless, with museum-mounted floating backs that allow them to stand out without needing a traditional frame. However, if you prefer a framed look, let me know—I can custom quote frames for your selected art piece!

 

Q: How is the artwork installed?

A: My TruLife Acrylic, Metal, and Dibond prints come with a museum float mount, which means they hang effortlessly on your wall without additional framing. Each piece comes ready to install—simply use a sturdy cleat system depending on the weight of the piece. Instructions are included, but if you have any questions, I’m happy to help!

 

Q: How do I clean and care for my art?

A: Here's the short story...  Different materials require different care:
TruLife Acrylic: Use a microfiber cloth and acrylic-safe cleaner (avoid ammonia-based products).
High Gloss Metal: Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth or a mix of water and isopropyl alcohol.
Dibond Brushed Metal: Use a dry microfiber cloth or slightly damp cloth for fingerprints.
Canvas Prints: Dust gently with a soft cloth or brush; avoid excessive moisture.

The longer story can be found on my cleaning tips page!

 

Q: How long does shipping take?

A: Since each piece is custom made just for you, standard production time is approximately 14 business days. Shipping times vary based on your location and I usually estimately 7 business days, but you’ll receive tracking information once your order has shipped. If you need a rush order, let me know—I’ll see what’s possible!

 

Q: Do you ship internationally?

A: At this time, I primarily ship within the United States, but if you’re interested in international shipping, please contact me, and I’ll see what options are available and can get you a quote.

 

Q: What is your return or exchange policy?

A: Because each piece is custom made just for you, all sales are final. However, if your art arrives damaged, please contact me immediately with photos, and I’ll work quickly to resolve the issue.   Damaged art will be replaced at no cost to you - as long as pictures of the damaged box and art are provided.

 

Q: Do you offer gift certificates?

A: Yes! If you’re looking for the perfect gift but aren’t sure which piece to choose, I offer gift certificates so your recipient can pick the art that speaks to them.   PLUS - it's a great last minute idea when your gift giving time is shorter than shipping.
