How to Style Old Money Wall Art in a Modern Home

Old money wall art can give a room a sense of history through familiar objects, vintage-inspired scenes and restrained colour. You can start with the furniture you already have: a wooden desk, a cream sofa or a dark cabinet is enough to build around.

The Lémur Masĩon Old Money collection includes graphic clock faces, classic cars, cocktail illustrations and city scenes. Choose the subject that connects with your interests, then use the room to guide its colour and scale.

Give a study a clear focal point

In a room with books, shelves and a desk, a simple palette helps a picture hold its own. Roman Numeral Clock Print combines black Roman numerals with an ivory background and worn-looking detail. Try it beside a bookcase or above a low cabinet, where you can see the full composition.

Repeat one existing finish in the frame. A black frame can connect with a desk lamp; a wood finish can sit alongside furniture without needing to match every grain. This is a print depicting a clock face, so choose it for the composition rather than as a working timepiece.

Use a street scene to add detail to a hallway

A hallway often gives you a short view of an artwork as you pass. A recognisable subject and a clear contrast can work well here. In Paris Vintage Car Print, pale clothing and a rounded vintage car stand out against a darker shopfront.

Hang it where the picture can be seen from the entrance, allowing space around a mirror, coat hooks or a console. If the wall is already busy, a single print may be enough. Keep nearby objects low so they do not interrupt the scene.

Bring one warm colour into a neutral living room

A room built around cream, beige and wood does not have to stay entirely monochrome. Vintage Green Car Print pairs a deep green car with an ochre wall and sunlit detail. It gives you two colours to work with without filling the room with bright accents.

Pick either the green or the ochre to repeat in a small object or textile. Keeping the other surfaces quiet allows the car's curved shape to become the focus. Test the print beside the sofa as well as above it; a smaller wall can give a detailed picture more presence.

Make a dining corner feel considered

Art can relate to what happens in a room. Three Martini Glasses Print is a straightforward choice beside a dining table or above a drinks trolley. The cream background leaves plenty of open space around the fine outlines of the glasses.

Give the print a little distance from bottles, glassware and shelves so the arrangement remains easy to read. If you want a pair, Ace of Clubs Print shares its black-and-cream palette while introducing a different shape.

Check scale before choosing the finish

Cut a paper template to the finished dimensions you are considering, including the frame. Look at it from the doorway and from a seated position. For a pair, lay out both templates and the gap between them before deciding whether the group suits the furniture beneath it.

Choose Framed Poster, Poster [No Frame] or Canvas on the product page, and check the options for that artwork. A poster lets you use your own suitable frame; canvas gives the image a different physical depth. Framed posters come with the print and frame unassembled.

Start with the subject you would enjoy living with, then find its place in the Old Money wall art collection.
