French term

Décorations en image

French to English Other Furniture / Household Appliances interior decoration website
I am currently translating the MOSCHE website (www.ateliermosche.com) and the term 'Décorations en image et matière & installations artistiques' appears at the foot of each page. Presumably it refers to pictures to be used as wall decorations, but I want to find an equivalent concise and snappy phrase in English.
Proposed translations (English)

Yes Helen, I think I may well do just that.
Helen Shiner Jun 1, 2011:
@ janisct Why not just say 'decorative art and installations'?
janisct (asker) Jun 1, 2011:
Good point. What about 'decorative art for indoors and outside'?
philgoddard Jun 1, 2011:
It's not just walls, though - one of them is an entire patio. You could say "indoor and outdoor decorative schemes". Either way, I would not stick close to the French.
janisct (asker) Jun 1, 2011:
Yes, I had used the link, which is why I realised it referred to wall art, which is probably the term I will use in the end.
philgoddard Jun 1, 2011:
Did you realise that the bit at the bottom of the page is a link? If you click on it, it takes you to some examples. I think "décorations en image" is fairly easy once you've seen these, but I'm not sure how I'd translate "matière" - it means using different colors and textures of materials as decoration.
