Abstract Artwork – Where Emotions Can Run Wild

Abstract pieces are the rebels of the art world. They defy definitions and challenge perspectives. When you pick an abstract artwork, you’re not just choosing great wall art for living room spaces, you’re inviting a beautiful storm of emotions into your home. 

Every glance can offer a new perspective and fresh interpretation, making it the perfect conversation-starter for a living area. 

Since abstracts don’t represent anything in particular, they’re universally appealing, which means they blend seamlessly with many interior design styles – especially modern, minimalist, and eclectic homes.

Black and White – Timeless Elegance

When it comes to some of our favourite wall décor ideas, we can’t help but reach for black and white artworks, particularly black and white photographs. They capture emotions, tell tales, and, when chosen as wall arts for a living room, become instant conversation starters.

We like looking at them than more than images – they’re time capsules. The absence of colour draws attention to details and emotions often missed in vibrant shots.

How to Choose the Best Wall Arts for Living Rooms

Choosing the best art for living rooms isn’t merely about aesthetics – it’s a blend of practicality, personality, and design. Here are some top tips you should keep in mind when choosing your own:

•    Size Matters – Measure your wall space before you hang up anything, especially if you’re creating a gallery wall. An artwork shouldn’t overwhelm the wall, nor should it look too small against the wall.

•    Colour Coordination – While contrasting hues can be eye-catching, make sure that all the colours don’t clash with the rest of the room’s palette.

•    Frame It Right – The frame can enhance the artwork, so choose wisely! You can choose from four different frames for our Premium Art range, including black, white, walnut brown, and oak, each one bringing a different vibe. Choose the colour and material that you feel works best with the artwork and your living room.

•    Consider the Theme – If your home has a design theme, such as boho or modern, choose pieces that align with that theme to make your space feel as cohesive as possible.
