Combine two top trends to create an ultra-contemporary interior. Add a touch of boho style to your minimalist space by hanging a botanical-inspired line drawing. Create an organic interior that still looks modern with a leafy piece of line art. Mixing natural décor with a sleek line drawing will give your home a stunning visual balance. Plus, these two trends are ideal if you want to create a calming, peaceful sanctuary.  

Expert Décor Advice

Another supporter of leafy hues, our interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz loves the botanical quality of a green color palette. She is a big proponent of using green to bring the outdoors in. Because we spent so much time inside over the past few years, earthy shades are more important than ever. 2022 has put a lot of weight on celebrating the great outdoors, and it’s not a surprising rise in popularity. Connect to nature by incorporating a green-tinted line painting. Sáenz encourages her clients to incorporate green for its serene feel.

Dramatically Simple Line Art

Even with a minimalist print, you can still bring the drama! Try line art with a dramatic, moody pop of color! If you want to dip your toe into minimalism but you don’t want to sacrifice color and dramatic flair, don’t fret. Choose a vibrant line art drawing with hints of fuchsia or magenta. Not only are these pink-meets-purple colors trendy, but they will instantly liven up your space. Pair your print with deep raspberry furniture for an even more eye-catching look. Add deeper textiles in black or navy-blue hues. Mixing line art with dark colors is unexpected and super-chic. Wow your guests with a unique blend of styles.

Line drawings let your designer elements remain the star of the show. This makes them the ideal addition to luxury interiors.

Gray & Moody

You don’t have to decorate with all white to match the modernism of a line drawing. In fact, line drawings pop beautifully against darker backgrounds like charcoal and taupe. For the daring contemporary designer, paint your walls in a dark neutral shade and hang a line drawing for contrast. This will make your wall art jump out at onlookers in the best way. Combine creativity with class by using this trendy technique. This can also set your modern space apart from the rest by using a bold base.
