Tips

Worth doing before you hang it

Follow the flowing line. Choose decorative prints with organic, curving forms: florals, figures and nature motifs in the style's soft, muted palette.

  • Ornate or slim gilt frames. They echo the style's decorative, flowing lines.
  • Lead with one or two larger panels. Then curve the smaller pieces around them.
  • Sage, dusky rose and gold. A soft, muted palette feels authentic.
  • Look for floral and nature motifs. Figures too, in the spirit of Mucha.
  • Avoid a rigid grid. Gentle, organic placement suits the curving forms.

What is an Art Nouveau gallery wall?

An Art Nouveau gallery wall is decorative and organic, built from prints with flowing, curving lines: florals, figures and nature motifs in soft, muted colour. Ornate or slim gilt frames suit the style, which prizes graceful, natural forms over straight edges.

What art suits Art Nouveau?

Flowing floral and botanical designs, stylised female figures, decorative panels and nature motifs in the style of Mucha and his contemporaries all fit. Look for curving lines and ornamental detail in a soft, muted palette.

What colours are Art Nouveau?

Soft, muted and earthy tones lead: sage, olive, dusky rose, mustard, cream and gentle golds. The palette is gentler than Art Deco, in keeping with the style's organic, nature-inspired character.

How do I arrange an Art Nouveau gallery wall?

Let a few larger decorative pieces lead, then curve the smaller ones around them to echo the style's flowing lines.
