My recent feature on Houzz.com got me thinking about landscape art and the impact it can have in a space. Even the most indoorsy person can't argue that the natural world offers some of the most beautiful imagery and magnificent colors around. Landscapes can range from photorealistic paintings to abstract art using various mediums. In my French country estate, I used abstract landscapes to anchor the bedside tables. These used colors such as black and metallic leaf to create a landscape, but even when using an abstract approach, it is unmistakably a landscape.

Traditional landscape paintings are often seen in libraries and traditional settings, which may lead people to believe that they only belong in traditional rooms. See the gallery below of landscapes used in many different settings, all to beautiful results!
