Art that brings more light into a room

The right artwork can change how a room feels, bringing light, space and a sense of openness to the interior. This selection looks for luminous colour, pale warm palettes, expansive skies and reflective water, with compositions that remain calm and effortless from across the room. From Monet’s Le Grand Canal, Venice and Sorolla’s sunlit scenes to Aivazovsky’s The Beach at Biarritz and Klimt’s Lake Attersee, these works bring brightness and air into the spaces they inhabit.
