Try to vary the height of these objects so that the shelf looks visually balanced. For example, place one smaller decor piece, and one larger one beside a the artwork. It's best to decorate in uneven numbers, so consider adding three or five small accessories.

Wall Prints | 5 Reasons Artwork Makes A Room

Focal Point

Bold artwork can instantly transform any space creating a focal point that will immediately draw the eye. Show off your personal style with a vintage matisse print or a colourful modern abstract.

Ties in Colour

Art is the perfect place to draw a colour palette from. To create a cohesive space, match some elements around the room to the colours in your print or frame, such as pillows, small decor elements or even the couch colour.

Texture

Whether your art is physically textural (for example thick paint) or visually textured (think small patterns making the piece seem to have a texture) adding wall art to a space will give your room dimension. This is crucial for modern or minimalist spaces with all clean lines and simple furniture, the space will seem flat and uninteresting without art.

Space

Adding framed artwork to a room can affect how large the space feels. Similar to the trick of hanging your curtains higher up, adding large art prints higher on your walls will draw your eyes up, making the space feel larger.

Finished Look

Art is the final element in a room that makes the design feel finished. Without framed wall art the space will seem empty and unfinished.

Location

Whether you choose to hang or style the abstract on a modern console, location is always a key factor in styling an artwork.

Colour Palette

Depending on the colours in your space and artwork, the piece will either become a focal point or fade into the background. If you’re looking to make the modern abstract draw the eye, go for a bold black and white piece or a colourful shape artwork. Add some matching pillows or small decor pieces around the space in matching colours so that the artwork’s colours are scattered through the room drawing the eye around the space.

Texture

If your room is on the more minimalist or Scandinavian end, adding a simple neutral modern abstract is a great choice. This will add the texture to your space without bringing your eyes away from the bold modern furniture.

Furniture

If you’re styling a modern abstract art print, the furniture in that space should be modern as well. Keeping a cohesive furniture style can help the room and artwork to feel like it all belongs together.
