How to choose landscape photography to decorate your home

Guide to choosing landscape photography for your home based on style, color, and ideal size. Landscape art that brings calm and meaning to your space.

There is something about landscape photography that transforms an environment without asking for permission. It doesn’t make a sound, it doesn’t demand an explanation; it simply opens a window. A new, distinct, and unexpected window. And in that window, a mountain skyline may appear at dawn, the silence of an infinite steppe, or a lake softly touched by the rosy light of daybreak.

When I take photos in Patagonia, I imagine the possibility that someone, in a home far from where I am at this very moment, could stop in front of this same image and feel the same cold air on their face, the same stillness, and the same emotion that I feel right now behind the lens.

That is why choosing which landscape to bring into a home is much more than a decorative detail. It is choosing which feeling you want to welcome you every single day.

Choosing by the style of the space:

Every home has its own identity and visual rhythm. Some houses breathe through wood textures, others through clean lines, and others through vibrant colors. Choosing a photograph should complement that language, staying true to the home’s style without competing with it.

– For a warm and rustic living room

Pieces from the Soulful Landscapes or Ranch Life collections usually work perfectly. Earth tones, soft light, and wide horizons that bring a sense of serenity.

These are images that blend in effortlessly, creating a sense of a “lived-in home.”

– For minimalist or modern spaces

The pieces from Pristine Patagonia—especially those playing with mist, snow, or very sober palettes—dialogue beautifully with empty spaces and pure lines.

Adding a landscape like this is almost like adding silence.

– For offices or focus-driven spaces

Vertical photos of stylized mountains or calm lakes provide a sense of concentration.

The key is for them to convey stability, not chaos.

Color or Black and White: Which one is right for you?

Landscape photography in color holds immense emotional power: it conveys temperature, season, and atmosphere. In my work, pastel palettes abound, offering a profound sense of calm. Patagonia is especially rich in non-saturated palettes: milky blues, muted greens, and sandy tones that make you fall in love with every detail.

However, black and white has a different kind of magic: it organizes the essentials. It allows form to speak louder than color. Pieces from the Black & White collection can completely transform a hallway, a staircase, or an office: they make the space feel more elegant, cleaner, and timeless.

A simple rule:

  • If the room already has many colors → Black and White.
  • If the room is neutral or warm → Color.

Ideal size according to your wall

A piece that is too small gets lost; one that is too large becomes overwhelming.

The correct proportion is usually:

  • Between 60% and 75% of the width of the furniture it accompanies.
  • At eye level (center at approx. 1.60 m from the floor).
  • For large walls, it is best to consider XL formats or triptychs.

Patagonia is best enjoyed in generous sizes: vastness needs room to breathe.

Real examples with my works on the web

A bedroom with a sand-toned palette paired with a piece from Pristine Patagonia—featuring mountain mist—creates immediate tranquility.

A spacious living room combined with the golden steppe of Soulful Landscapes achieves that warm, “at-home” feeling.

In a minimalist hall, a black and white seascape from the Black and White collection creates a striking, modern impact.

Choosing a landscape is choosing a state of mind. In my case, it’s also about sharing life in Argentina, in Patagonia, and in the countryside exactly as I experience it: authentic, simple, unhurried, and with the marvelous beauty of simplicity.
