You don’t have to have a creative director in your job title to curate a space full of eye-catching abstract wall art. In fact, it’s best not to overthink it when it comes to the visual language that has no rules. Yet, it can feel overwhelming to delve in, especially when price tags can vary into the thousands. Luckily, in this internet age, everything from local masterpiece-makers to infamous prints from the greats are a cinch to buy online.

1. Create Your Own Rules

The best place to start is by getting comfortable with the fact that your art and your décor don’t have to coordinate to a T, in fact, it is visually to your benefit if your art stands out. No matter what your personal style, your abstract work of choice will make a statement, as in many ways it was created to do just that.

2. Ease in With Neutrals Wall Art

Don’t let the Matisses’, and Picassos’ scare you. Not all abstract wall art has to be abundant with shape and color. An easy way to integrate this mode of craft into your home is to opt for the minimal, such as a neutral canvas. Artists who focus more on simple graphics can be a good place to start. In this way, you can deliver that level of sophistication without over-stimulating the eye.

3. Match Similar Tones

If your home has a few accent colors, a great way to tie them into each other is by finding a work of abstract wall art that carries many of the same tones. Say you’ve gone for millennial pink details — mounting a canvas with many of the same hues will make the room feel polished and well-considered.

4. Choose a Designated Wall Art

To prevent a room from looking too busy, designate one wall in your room to art. This way you’re not weighing down your living-area by attempting too much or distracting the eye with too many places to look. By choosing one wall for the pièce de résistance it eases the viewer as they enter.

5. Surround With Complementary Mediums

If you’re more of a fearless decorator why not jump into this whole art thing head-on with a gallery wall art. A great way to incorporate your abstract wall art piece is to surround it with other complimenting mediums such as photography, minimal sketches, or even classic style portraits. This adds an eccentricity to any room.
