Living Room Wall Art of Vietnam

Living room wall art in this range shows Vietnamese streets and waterways: Hoi An yellow walls and lantern-lit riverbanks, Hanoi Old Quarter shopfronts, Long Bien Bridge, Saigon avenues, and flower pieces including pink lotus buds. Most of the paintings are landscapes, and many hold a small figure in a conical hat. Each is sold as a hand-painted oil painting or an archival canvas print.

Warm walls that suit a sofa wall

Gold and mustard dominate, and each painting gives a yellow wall its own scene. In one, vendors in pale conical hats carry shoulder poles and round baskets along a grey kerb before a tall golden wall. In another, a figure in a long white ao dai walks a bicycle past a weathered golden wall, repeated in the wet street below. In a third, a cyclo with a green hood rolls under a tall yellow wall. The colour is broad and the brushstrokes are loose, so the pictures read from across the room and still reward a closer look. For more of this palette, see the Yellow collection or the Hoi An page.

Hanoi iron, Saigon green

Hanoi brings rust. In one painting, rust-orange girders tower over a street of stalls, bicycles and blue crates under a pale grey sky. In another, railway tracks run toward a rust-orange steel bridge. A close view shows a rust-brown bridge with broad banana leaves in front, and a further painting has pink, magenta and white flowers filling the ground, with the bridge running across the distance. In the Old Quarter, red flags with yellow stars cross a faded yellow facade, and elsewhere a peeling mustard wall and green stools line a Hanoi pavement. Saigon is greener: a tall white fountain on a bright green lawn, and a pale palace framed by orange tree crowns. Browse the Hanoi and Saigon pages for the full set.

Water, dusk and flowers for evening light

River scenes bring blue and teal into a warm room. Paper lanterns glow orange on dark blue water at Hoi An, a covered bridge sits beyond a boat of figures in white, and a dusk promenade runs under a pink sky beside the Thu Bon. For a quieter wall, a painting of dragonflies over pink lotus buds in sage green, cream and pale blue joins the flower pieces. Everyday scenes such as vendors, baskets and cyclos also appear in Daily Life, and bridges, gateways and avenues in Landmarks & Architecture.
