ARCADIA, WI--(Marketwire - Sep 4, 2012) - More than any other single item, artwork makes a house, a home. Not only does art add color, content and character -- it's also one of the easiest and quickest ways to transform any space.

"Furniture looks so much better when it's paired with the right artwork," says Brenda Dillon, VP of Merchandising. "Our new line of wall art at Ashley is designed to fit your budget, match your style, fill your walls and customize any room."

With styles ranging from metro modern to traditional classics and everything in between, the new collection has something for everyone -- and for every style. Ashley Furniture HomeStore offers easy-to-follow tips that help you pair your style with the right artwork:

• Metro Modern. Combine modern furniture with oversized wall art in bright colors. Abstract, geometric, pop art, collage or graphic themes are ideal.
• Contemporary. Pair a contemporary look with a super-stylish artwork in chic neutrals or dramatic light-dark contrasts. Choose contemporary or city-inspired themes.
• Cottage. For cottage styles, choose wall art in muted, whitewashed colors. Flowers, seeds, birds or seashells are all good themes. Painted white frames are favorites.
• Rustic. Rustic furniture works well with outdoor-inspired artwork in earthy, vegetable hues. Mountain, forest, field, stream and folk art themes feel most down-home.
• Old World. Pair an old-world look with wall art in time-worn hues. Mediterranean architecture, scenes of Tuscany or old-master paintings are all ideal themes.
• Classic Traditions. Classic furniture works nicely with artwork in rich jewel tones. Choose themes inspired by bouquets, portraits, European cities or classic architecture.
