How to Decorate With Pop Art

Choose the aspect of pop art that is most appealing to you and that you want to focus your theme around. According to Freshome Interior Design, the room can be too busy if you have multiple themes, so fans of music, for example, can hang replica gold albums on their walls, movie aficionados might hang classic posters and individuals who love characters from popular culture can adorn their walls with their favorite celebrities.

Select the piece of pop art you want to incorporate into your room. Because these prints are oftentimes quite large and the colors are bold and vibrant, choose one large piece or a couple of smaller pieces in the same theme. These pieces are unique and can stand alone as the center of attention, so they do not need to be overwhelmed with additional artwork.

Paint your walls a neutrally colored paint that will not clash or take away from the colorful pop artwork; for instance, hanging Andy Warhol’s hot pink print of Marilyn Monroe on a red or pink wall would minimize the dramatic effect of the design. A simple white or black palate will let the piece stand center stage. If you do want to incorporate additional paint colors, consider painting an adjacent accent wall with complementary colors.

Hang the artwork in the room giving it a prime position on the wall. If you are using a poster or print, frame the art to give it a more professional and finished look.

Accessorize the room with smaller decorative items, using inspiration from the pop art theme, as well as the color palate introduced in the artwork. These items can include furniture, pillows and decorative trinkets.
