The subject matter you feature on your walls will largely depend on what you find pleasing and what is appropriate for your business environment, whether it's gardens, landscapes, abstracts, motivational prints or photography.

Keep in mind that in choosing a suitable theme you will find that the art style you pick will go a long way to define the look and feel of your company.

Even after narrowing down a theme, let's say you select landscapes; the art style you choose will set the tone for the room, whether it is elegant and traditional, casual and contemporary, or even modern and sophisticated.

The themes you want to feature on your walls depend on the nature of your business. For a general office environment where people work on discrete tasks within a department, you want to emphasize mental alertness, comfort, and a fresh atmosphere.
Framed art and photography that depict wide open spaces are a great option because the eye naturally gravitates towards these "windows" to take a visual break from computer monitors. Landscapes, gardens, and flowers are ideal subjects to soothe tempers during the busy business week.

Landscapes evoke stability, continuation, and the outdoors, which relaxes the mind and emotions. Gardens are full of life and symbolize relaxation and a nurturing environment. Flowers are also soothing images because they are associated with growth, renewal, and beauty.

Abstracts are also a great choice for the office due of their high decorative value. While the lines, symbols and shapes that crisscross these images appeal to inquisitive and creative minds, the colors they sport will go a long way to stimulate the intellect or calm the emotions during long work days.

Decor Pointers

Stick to a theme, a set of colors, or an art style.
Frame pairs and series alike to create visual harmony.
Use bright, bold colors and shapes to command attention, and light hues and shades to soften and match your office decor.
Anchor your artwork to the furniture in the room and don't let it hang more than 8" above it.
The width of your artwork should always be smaller than the furniture underneath it.
Landscapes and vistas open up small spaces because horizontal lines make narrow rooms seem wider.
Use portraits (images with more height than width) with strong vertical lines to make low-ceilings seem taller.
Hang your artwork securely with the recommended picture hooks for the size of the print. When in doubt about picture hook hardware, ask advice at your local hardware store.
Mat prints to complement the artwork, using light shades and off-whites to accent the print, complement the framing, and separate the image from the wall color.
