Choosing Your Modern Painting
There’s nothing quite like decorating a wall with a beautiful art piece. When carefully selected and placed in the ideal spot, it draws the eye, bringing character and elegance to a room. The current trend is towards modern canvases. But how do you choose your modern painting? Here’s our advice.
Modern Wall Art: A touch of harmonious color
The modern wall painting comes in many forms, exploring various themes from an original, punchy, offbeat, and sometimes even abstract angle. Still, it matches any interior style, adding a decorative touch with both elegance and boldness.
Tone on Tone
To make sure your modern painting feels naturally at home in the intended room, it’s best to choose it in tones that match the existing decor. This creates a visual harmony of colors that is both beautiful and pleasing.
Wallpaper, curtains, furniture, and knick-knacks all help create the ambiance of a room. A well-chosen painting enhances this atmosphere without clashing. Its presence in the space, and where it's placed, should feel obvious.
Depending on your preference, you can opt for tone-on-tone in a monochrome style, a gradient of colors, or a combination of colors that complement each other.
For the most minimalist and refined interiors, black and white paintings are especially highlighted in such environments.
Emphasize Contrast
Another option, which goes in the opposite direction but can also create a striking effect, is to play with contrast.
For example, in a very pared-down room, a colorful or abstract decorative wall painting will inevitably draw attention.
Conversely, in a very colorful interior, a more neutral modern painting will bring a sense of calm and help create a balanced space.
Choose a Painting That Reflects You
Because it is a very eye-catching element in an interior, the theme, colors, and design of the painting should be carefully chosen, just like its future location.
The choice of a painting’s theme is a matter of taste and a personal decision. For successful decoration, the chosen painting should evoke emotion, resonate with you, and reflect your values, your passions, or some aspect of your personality. That’s because the painting will be visible every day, whether displayed in a hallway or a living area. There are modern canvases to suit every taste.
Pop art paintings are very colorful. They are enlivened by their vivid and shimmering colors that burst off the canvas and enhance every detail of the depiction.
Urban art is also making its way into interiors with modern street art paintings and their tangy, impactful perspective on the world around us.
To let your imagination wander and reinterpret your modern painting over and over, bringing abstract art into your home is the ideal solution. Abstract paintings resonate with emotions.
Contemporary paintings are also in vogue; just like the Nordic series canvases, which blend perfectly with Scandinavian decor, or the Black and White collection, which is very chic and glamorous.
Modern decor doesn't forget to awaken the senses, with sexy, suggestive artworks that leave room for the imagination or more daring pieces.
Modern and up-to-date decor at a low price
Changing your decor is a way to refresh your interior at minimal cost. And an inexpensive modern painting is perfect for this.
It's a decorative accessory that can be used in any room: to decorate the living room, bedroom, hallway, office, kitchen...
In living spaces, the most dynamic paintings in terms of message and color are displayed. For bedrooms, more understated and soothing artworks are usually preferred.
But it's all a matter of taste; the important thing is to give free rein to your desires, for personalized decor that reflects you and where you feel comfortable.
The low prices of modern paintings make it possible to change them regularly and treat yourself as your desires change. There are many themes, each treated from unique perspectives, so you can match your decor to your current mood.
It's also a way to keep your interior up-to-date by following trends, which change quickly.
The affordable prices, quality, and broad selection of themes, colors, and sizes are true assets to enhance your home, bringing elegance and warmth, whether you choose a single painting or a collection of modern artworks.
Additionally, paintings are easy to hang, move, replace, or swap out. Updating your interior decor is within everyone's reach. It can be done in just a few minutes, without the need for large and relatively expensive projects.
Single Wall Art or a gallery wall?
The modern decorative painting is enough on its own to beautifully adorn a section of the wall. They come in small, medium, or large formats; in a single frame or with an image divided into several parts.
However, it is also possible to choose to hang several paintings in the same space, creating a particularly trendy accumulation and a private art gallery effect.
In any case, the size and position of each painting should be carefully determined. In a small space, it is preferable to choose a modern painting in a small format. If the wall section is wide and bare, an XXL or large-format painting is ideal. For an accumulation of paintings, various sizes are chosen, with a common thread in terms of theme and colors.
In any case, paintings should always be placed at eye level and should not extend above any furniture placed directly underneath, if applicable.
Choosing a modern painting requires some reflection, especially regarding placement, size, and dominant colors. But there is also another decisive factor not to be overlooked: falling in love with it. For hanging a modern painting in your home is not a trivial act. Beyond the careful, original, impactful, and elegant decoration, it is about proudly and clearly displaying a message, a value, a part of yourself.
