We just have to take a look around us and start with the art! <\/span><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" align=\"left\" rowspan=\"2\" style=\"padding-left: 5px; width: 195px\"><span class=\"style6\">Take the Artist\u2019s Garden at Giverny, for  instance. Impressionistic works like this one  portray harmony through the beauty of  nature. The gentle style of the piece  promotes free flowing lines and soft colors. In fact, the timing of Impressionism flowed directly into the Art Nouveau movement,  which also sought inspiration from organic  lines and the balance of the environment.  Whiplash curves, asymmetry, and rich  mediums such as gold, dark woods, and  rustic metal truly compliment this style.   The Impressionists were revolutionaries in  that they painted only en plein air (in the  open air), so as the color schemes are both  ambient and authentic to the natural world.  What I\u2019ve demonstrated here are only a  very few examples of the inspiration I pulled from this Monet<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" colspan=\"3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"183\" src=\"http:\/\/theartoutlet.com\/blog\/images\/brei-blog-post_11.gif\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" style=\"padding-left: 10px; width: 450px\"><span class=\"style7\">masterpiece! I would suggest choosing an array of paint colors from the artwork first, in this case some soft pastel hues (you can save the deeper tones for your pull pieces later\u2014throw pillows, pottery, etc.). Choose the most versatile color for<br \/>\nyour wall and take the others with you to match up fabric swatches for your furniture! In the end, your favorite piece of artwork will be reflected throughout your interior!
