Pop Art in Beautiful Interiors

History

Pop Art was a visual art movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the United States. The origin of the term Pop Art is unknown but is often credited to British art critic Lawrence Alloway in an essay titled "The Arts and the Mass Media", although he uses the words "popular mass culture" instead of "pop art". Alloway was one of the leading critics to defend Pop Art as a legitimate art form. It was one of the biggest art movements of the twentieth century and is characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as television, movies, advertising and comic books.

Pop Art

Paintings can be used in various sizes for different kind of impact in the interior design and can also be created as wall murals. Use these as focal points in the room. The bright color palette of pop art will immediately spruce up any decor and attract attention. Hang them above fireplace, sofa, bed, or on the dining room’s feature wall.

Color Scheme

The color scheme in pop art is bright and clashing. Choose two bright contrasting colors and a neutral to balance them out. Color blocks can also be used in furniture together with some prints and patterns.

Furniture

The 60′s style furniture will look great in a pop art style interior design. Think retro-futuristic chairs, minimalist sofas, and egg armchairs, radical black walls which are well balanced with colorful furniture and accessories.
