Answer
Using art with bold or cooler tones breaks up excessive wood tones by adding visual contrast and personality. Large framed prints, paintings, or photographs with blues, greens, or whites introduce a fresh palette against warm woods. Art hung strategically on wood-paneled walls or above wood furniture interrupts uniformity, creating intentional rhythm. Layer art with textiles and lighting for a balanced, dynamic look without painting wood.
