Wall Prints | 3 Contemporary Art Ideas

Shape Based Abstracts

Abstract can always fit perfectly into any modern space. Shape based abstracts are a great choice for a minimalist room in need of some colour or texture. They can instantly become a great focal point in your space. Don’t be afraid to go big, hang a framed oversized art print over a couch or console!

Figure Art

This art style has become increasingly popular, with both shape and line based figures. This elegant art style appears all over the internet in minimalist, modern and transitional spaces alike. A thin black or white wood frame compliments these prints flawlessly. 

Modern Classical Art

A fun modern spin on traditional art, these prints range from framed matisse posters, to classical paintings with modern text written across them. These artworks are sure to spark a conversation with their eye catching style.Framed modern abstract in Scandinavian living room

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.

Wall Prints | 5 Tips For Styling Large Abstract Art Prints

Location

Whether you choose to hang or style the abstract on a modern console, location is always a key factor in styling an artwork. Consider how large the piece of furniture is that you’re hanging the piece above or placing on, try to make sure the framed artwork is around 2/3 the size/width of that furniture.

Decor

If you’re placing this piece on a console, try to keep the pieces of decor surrounding the art print staggered in height. For example, place the framed abstract artwork next to some candlesticks, books or a vase. This wiIl help the piece to seem more balanced and not so out of place on a console.

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.
