Pieces of Art – Voice of the Artist.
23/03/2026
Nordic-style furnishing is increasingly popular; it’s a widespread trend in interior design and is characterized by a clean, essential style, with extensive use of wood and natural materials.
The color palette also plays a fundamental role in matching: the right colors are those that reflect nature, such as the entire scale of grays and browns that recall rocks and coniferous forests, and above all, white that floods the room with light.
Nordic decor is minimal and relaxing for those who enjoy it, free from frills and unnecessary decorations. A winning choice for filling the walls with taste and simplicity is to use artistic puzzles that add a pop of color to white walls.
What are the right references for decorating an apartment with paintings in a Nordic style? Definitely those depicting the works of great avant-garde artists, such as Matisse , Munch , Mirò , and many others, whose skillful use of color captures the eye and stands out against the bright white walls.
The chromatic aspect is fundamental in the choice of the puzzle-picture and it is important to choose the best combination.
When you decide to decorate your walls with paintings, you need to evaluate the space as a whole and have a clear idea of ​​the effect you want to achieve.
The painting and the puzzle, together with their frame, become design accessories that enliven and give character to the room.
In a Nordic-inspired space , the paintings on the walls become the centerpieces of the room’s overall layout. Color is the driving force that creates dynamism and tells its story, the narrative voice that emerges with its vivacity from the sober, neutral hues of white and gray.
In contemporary art and the avant-garde, color is the pictorial component that constructs the image, the plastic element from which the subject of the canvas takes shape.
The first to eliminate the black outline were the Impressionists in the second half of the nineteenth century, but it was the Expressionists and Matisse ‘s Fauves who decreed the chromatic aspect as the sole protagonist of the entire composition.
Color is the primary actor in many avant-garde movements such as Informalism and Abstraction, in which verisimilitude with reality is lost and forms exist autonomously.
To decorate in Nordic style and create striking designer walls, a puzzle-picture is the right choice: we propose some famous works of art by contemporary painters who have transformed the history of art.
The kitchen is a convivial space dedicated to food preparation where guests are welcomed for dinners and lunches in company.
A practical suggestion is to hang on the walls our Matisse puzzles , a great Expressionist artist who made colour his main expressive key.
The French artist, nicknamed Fauve ( ‘beast’ in French) for the violence and vehemence of his use of colour, favours a very warm chromatic palette that touches on the shades of the sun, fire and earth, from red to brown, passing through orange and yellow combined with purple.
It’s a vibrant installation that pairs beautifully with a choral environment like a kitchen. Henri Matisse’s colors seem to animate, move, and come to life, synchronizing with the sizzling of pots and pans and the sizzling of food.
Let’s imagine entering the living room of a house or apartment furnished in Scandinavian style , with bright white walls and wooden ceilings, with exposed beams and wainscoting .
This is a very popular mood even in New York lofts and open-plan spaces that are so sober and refined.
To decorate walls with paintings and give character and personality to the room, you can consider our puzzle paintings depicting famous works by Mirò , the abstract and surreal artist par excellence.
With their powerful expressive force, a mix of pure creativity, vorticism and chromatic freedom, the Spanish artist’s paintings enrich the living room with energy and charisma.
Here too, color is the primary expressive tool, so urgent and necessary. Decorating in Nordic style with a Mirò puzzle means bringing the walls to life and transforming the room with a targeted yet unobtrusive intervention, without distorting the less-is-more mood of the space.
Another artist who exploits the full expressive power of colour is certainly Munch , with his famous Scream , a real storm of colours on the canvas, chromatic waves that ripple producing energy and movement.
Decontextualized from its reference to anxiety and discomfort, the painting’s “chromatic stress” can be revisited in a purely decorative key and isolated a portion of the wall, highlighting it from the others in the room.
The strong colours of a master of Norwegian Expressionism like Edward Munch emerge from the pure white of the walls, or actively dialogue with a white sofa with sober and essential lines, producing a real chromatic short circuit .
A synergy is therefore created with designer furnishings , such as an aluminum lamp in shades of gray, or a leather armchair in a chocolate shade: with one of our artistic paintings it is possible to transform and make a room unique with a play of primary and complementary colors that renew the environment in an immediate and powerful way.
Furnishing your living room and lounge in Nordic style, with natural, warm and cool colors, with an exclusive, elegant and refined touch will be perfect with a puzzle painting , finished with the right frame.
The bedroom and bathroom can also be furnished in Nordic style: in this case, we see a riot of natural shades, such as sage green and baby blue used to paint the walls or the bathroom tiles.
Decorating Scandinavian and Norwegian-style designer walls with paintings is simple: here too we recommend a puzzle painting by Matisse , with its warm, vibrant colors that create a contrast with the sobriety of the paint or wallpaper.
Purple Robe et anemones , The Purple Robe and Anemones , is one of the most famous subjects of Henri Matisse and his work: with its vivid, pulsating colours and naïve mood, the painting is perfect for enriching a bedroom in perfect Nordic style.
For example, simply choosing a pair of purple sheets, like the robe of the subject of the painting, can create an interesting leitmotif and common thread within the bedroom.
And what about the bathroom? Decorating the bathroom with paintings and puzzles is a huge trend , suitable for bathrooms of all sizes, no matter how small or compact.
A puzzle picture depicting Munch’s The Scream or another subject is a very special furnishing accessory with a guaranteed wow effect for the room where you take care of yourself.
What frame best matches a contemporary or avant-garde art puzzle picture?
Taking inspiration from gallery installations and the most current vernissages, the abstract and modern painting has no frame because the color must literally emerge from the two-dimensional surface, becoming 3D: the frame delimits and gives a sense of containment that is not suited to the mood.
Furthermore, a frame that is too flashy can completely distort the purpose of the painting, which is to be the protagonist of the room and to dialogue, through the colors and backgrounds, with the furniture and furnishings.
If you still want to add a minimal chic detail, you can use a pure structural puzzle frame , with a very thin metal core.
