How To Choose Abstract Art For Your Home
It’s not everybody’s taste, but abstract art can be a spectacular addition to any space if carefully selected and displayed. You don’t necessarily have to ‘understand’ an abstract piece to appreciate how beautiful and effective it may be in transforming a blank space – abstract art canvas prints can effectively express a variety of moods from either softening a space by fading gently into the background or, alternatively, imposing itself on a room with bold form and colour. Here are some suggestions in how to incorporate abstract art pieces into your décor:
Focal Point With Colour
If your room is crying out for an oversized, spectacular image, then a piece of colourful abstract art could be the perfect choice! Colourful abstract images against a white wall are stunningly effective, regardless of the subject matter – the eye-catching composition, whether geometric or fluid, will create depth and movement into the space and bring it to life!
Black And White
Black and white images always make a statement – a black-and-white canvas print can create an atmosphere and an energy within a space. A stark monolithic image offers up a solid and grounding feeling, whilst a random, wild image creates energy – and a more elegant line drawing emits romance and intrigue!
Duets
Displaying your abstract canvas prints in pairs can be very effective – hanging them side-by-side, or vertically stacked, complementary works will create a balanced effect to the space. Ensure that the size and framing is consistent to portray that cohesive appearance.
Complementary Colours
Abstract art doesn’t always have to dominate a space – it can be subtle and merely complement other features and décor within the room. Hang a piece that uses colours already displayed in the room – perhaps the same as the wall on which it is displayed, or to match the colours in the furniture and fabrics present within the space. The different shapes or patterns of the artwork will add an ‘edge’ to the room against the more recognisable shapes of the other features.
Gallery Effect
You don’t have to feature abstract art as a ‘standalone’ display – it can be very effective when mixed with more traditional images such as landscapes and portraits. They can be placed alongside an existing pictorial display in a room as additions to, rather than replacements for, the already present pictures in place. As in a gallery, try to stick to similar framing colours and materials as the existing pictures, but incorporate a mix of sizes and mediums to create and maintain interest.
Contrast
When considering the content of your abstract art canvas prints, think about opposites as well as complementary images – contrasting modern with traditional can make for an interesting and effective display – perhaps consider placing a modern image in an old-fashioned frame to create an unexpected contrast!
