Modern Wall Art: Top Trends

Modern art is all about making bold choices. Even if you have a predominantly traditional home, you can still add an edgy touch. There are several ways to give your space a contemporary twist. First, explore metallic tones. Don’t be afraid to mix both warm and cool metallic hues. Blending sharp angles with soft, curved furniture will create a dynamic look.  You can also combine natural elements like wood and greenery with more industrial furniture for an unexpected feel.

The Power of the Abstract

Nothing transforms the look of a living space quite like abstract art. Abstract art is freeing, and it complements a wide range of interiors. This loose, creative style of art will add a trendy touch without overpowering your home. It’s up to you to choose between a print with bright colors or muted neutrals. Make sure your piece is large enough to act as the focus of the room, and don’t be afraid to explore crazy conceptual designs.

A Minimalist Focus

If you prefer a subtler approach, consider modern minimalism. Decorate with soft neutral shades like grey and beige, and complete the look with a blown-up line drawing. Minimalist line drawings make beautiful prints, and they add an instant touch of chic simplicity. Get inspired by Mid-century wall decor and make an impact through simplicity. Use natural wooden accents throughout your room, and keep it as light and bright as possible. For an understated pop of color, place a deep green houseplant on a floating shelf.

Contemporary Contrast

There are plenty of ways to play with contrast when it comes to modern art. The first way is to use color! Contrast a neutral interior with an unapologetically bright print. If your home is decorated in tones like grey, ivory, and tan, it’s time to give it a playful splash of character! Go big AND go home with an ultra-vibrant print. You can also incorporate the contrasting trend by using a piece of modern art in a traditional interior. Don’t be afraid to mix and match decor styles, and add a contemporary print to your classic home.

Monochromatic Magic

If you’re not the biggest fan of contrast, opt for a more monochromatic interior.  Use a single color throughout your space, and make sure it is present in every piece of décor. Hang a pic of modern wall art that highlights your color of choice, and surround it with decor in a similar shade. Looking for color palette ideas for your monochromatic interior? Some of 2024’s top color trends include sunny yellow, vibrant magenta, and broody burgundy.

Modern Wall Decor

A single piece of modern art can change the look of your entire room. If your space is feeling dull and dreary, add an eye-catching, colorful print! On the other hand, if you’re simply looking to accentuate your existing décor, look for a contemporary print that ties together your current color scheme. The beauty of an abstract print is that it allows you complete freedom when it comes to interior design. From minimalism to maximalism, there is no single way to decorate with modern art.
