No matter your tastes, part of the beauty of decorating with art is its ability to ground a room. Whether it's a modern abstract painting hanging above a sofa or a rustic still life positioned in a kitchen, a single canvas can uplift an empty corner in an instant.
While I've long been aware of the single-handed impact of good artwork, Victoria Beckham's home office has made me even more sure that usually all you need is a show-stopping hero picture to transform your space, taking it from good to great.
Featuring a large canvas in a bold orange, Victoria's office perfectly balances lived-in charm with modern luxury, all made possible with the rather statement choice of artwork. Victoria's space proves that no home is complete without a generous scattering of canvases; in fact, a single picture has the power to tie an entire scheme together.

The furniture in Victoria's home office is undeniably chic (take Victoria Beckham's yellow accent chair, for example), but I'm convinced that the artwork is the standout piece that makes the room feel truly accomplished.
A warm space layered with vintage furniture and rich materials, the home office feels surprisingly cozy and inviting. Featuring a plush rug and an abundance of dark wood, it's a lesson in transitional design that seamlessly blends the past with the modern day. While there's some color (the yellow armchairs balance out the darker tones), the orange painting brings a much-needed dose of vibrancy and impact, introducing a whole new hue to the palette.
Acting as the room's focal point, the artwork might seem simple, but it's a clever choice that contrasts with the many textures in the space. Hung in pride of place at the center of the exposed brick wall, it offsets the rustic brick and brings a sense of refinement to an otherwise simple console table. It transforms the table into an intentionally styled corner that commands attention.
