The Quiet Wall

A research-informed guide to choosing calmer, nature-inspired artwork and creating visual
environments that feel softer, clearer and easier to inhabit.

A room can look beautiful and still feel busy. Signs, screens, furniture and artwork all ask for attention. The Quiet Wall helps you look at the room as a whole and choose art that gives the eye somewhere to settle.

Inside the guide, you’ll explore how colour, contrast, composition and visual detail affect the feel of a space. You’ll also find practical questions to use when choosing art for a home, office, reception area or consulting room.

Start by standing where someone enters the room, then sitting where they would sit. What draws your eye? Does the artwork offer a clear place to rest your gaze, or compete with everything around it?

The Quiet Wall brings together R&E’s approach to nature-inspired art and visually quieter spaces. It offers ideas for making more considered choices, without promising that any one artwork will change how everyone feels.
