Decorating Modern Spaces: Abstract Canvas Wall Art
Walls in modern spaces are often painted in neutral tones like taupe or linen, and these subdued shades provide an ideal backdrop for art and decor in hot shades that pop against a neutral backdrop. Repeating accents colors throughout a neutral space is what gives it personality and signature style. Hot hues like paprika, teal, and sunflower yellow can’t help but take center stage when paired with a neutral background. The suggestions that follow will help you harness that style with canvas wall art and selected accessories.
Make a Statement: Focal Points and Related Accents
Build a space around artwork that speaks to your heart. Choose canvas wall art that adds color, dimension, and a personality to your room. Simply unframed, canvas wall art will add architectural interest to a living space with its graphically stark presentation. The outer edges of stretch canvas wall art are often painted in a contrasting color that gives it instant definition. You will find large pieces that can stand alone or series canvases that are designed to be hung together to create a focal point on a large expanse of wall. Canvas wall art that is hung to fill a space is oftentimes adequate on its own; when decorating a modern space, less is usually more. To make your choice of canvas wall art a truly conspicuous focal point, consider painting the wall behind it in a hue that is different from the rest of the room. A deep dramatic color that coordinates and contrasts with the colors in the canvas wall art will draw even more attention to it.
Enhance your choice of canvas wall art with freestanding or table sculpture, choosing sculpture that has thematic, color or linear similarities to the painting. A grouping of metal, stone or realistic resin sculpture atop a sleek console or a tall sculpture in a corner is an easy way to link the canvas wall art to other furnishings in the room.
Choose a predominant color in decorative wall art and then replicate it in table top accessories, throw pillows, upholstery, and lamps. Chunky raised nap fabrics will add texture and depth to the space, especially when various patterns are mixed and solid colors are used to pull the palette together.
Provide a grounding influence on the room by uniting everything with touches of black. From borders on an area rug, to trim on window shades and treatments, or the crevices in wine bottle wall art, a little black goes a long way and keeps a mix of colors from looking chaotic.
When a living space is visually connected to a foyer or entry, repeat the accent colors of the living space in the foyer to create harmony from one space to the other. A large piece of canvas wall art in the living space can be echoed with a smaller grouping of similar design in the foyer. Let a trio of canvases dot an entry wall or try one vertically long canvas accented with a pair of modern wall sconces staggered to one side.
Abstract Canvas Wall Art in the Bedroom
Create an outstanding focal point in the bedroom by replacing an ordinary headboard with extraordinary wall hangings mounted above the bed. A few evenly spaced stretch canvas panels will bring form, color, and a graphic impact. Pick up the colors in the canvas with your choice of comforter and throw pillows in various shapes and textures. Simple night stands on both sides of the bed can be topped with clear glass bubble lamp stand and shades that echo an accent color for easy-to-achieve designer impact.
