Maximalism: Embrace the Art of Excess
Maximalism is all about layering patterns, textures, and bold colors to create unique and eclectic spaces. Bold, vibrant artworks are key to this trend, whether you’re looking to buy Australian art or add unique pieces by contemporary Australian artists. More is More think :  Vibrant paintings, textiles, and sculptures create cohesive yet unpredictable interiors. Uniquely personal and over the top.

Maximalism at its best from Josh and Matt.


Mid-Century Modern Meets Hyper-Coloured Artworks

Mid-Century Modern is getting a contemporary twist with hyper-coloured art. Think saturated, statement paintings that bridge the past with the present. This fusion of styles makes it the perfect time to buy Australian contemporary art that combines modern flair with vintage appeal. Classic furniture alongside earthern tiled floors are a dynamic blend. Think wood pannelling, huge Japanese paper globe shades. Hand maid is key textured rugs and ceramics with the fingerprint of the artist all over them. Palm Springs 1950 meets Aussie surf shack 1970. 

Contemporary meets Midcentury. Its not new but its getting hotter by the wooden panelled minute.


Portraiture is back!
Contemporary portraiture is gaining traction in interior design, bringing depth and narrative to spaces. Portraits from Australian contemporary artists, such as my own Peggy’s Imaginary Friends, capture modern Australia’s spirit, perfect for any home looking to make a statement.Mix contemporary bold naive works with traditional vintage framed oils, hang salon style, chuck in a Picasso and you are allllllllll over it.

Art for Japandi Interiors: Elevating Simplicity with Australian Pieces

Japandi interiors, a seamless fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality, continue to excite design trends in 2025. With a focus on neutral tones, clean lines, and natural materials, this style creates serene, balanced spaces. When buying art for interiors, consider works that complement the simplicity and elegance of Japandi aesthetics. Abstract paintings or subtle textured artworks from contemporary artists can add a touch of personality while maintaining the peaceful atmosphere. Whether buying original art online or seeking affordable original art, choose pieces that enhance the understated beauty of your Japandi home.

Soft tactile textiles are the perfect artwork for this trend


Salon-Style Hanging: Eclectic Art Displays
A trend that’s taking over in homes and cafes alike is the salon-style hanging of art. Mixing Australian contemporary artists with vintage pieces creates dynamic, personal collections. Whether you're buying art on line or from a gallery this trend encourages you to mix and match for an effortlessly stylish vibe. There are no rules - mix contemporary pieces with vintage finds in a close arrangement that covers entire walls, creating a tapestry of visual interest and personality. Don’t hold back that painting by your Granny, throw it up there with your latest Otis Carey.
