Modern Wallpaper
To really overhaul your walls, first opt for wallpaper in stunning, modern patterns to create a lush backdrop for artwork, shelving and knick-knacks. If wallpapering a whole room seems like too much, you can always create an accent wall or liven up a hallway, staircase or bathroom with our selection of wallpaper that’s easy to apply and even easier to remove. The right contemporary wallpaper allows you to add color, personality and style that’s as flamboyant or understated as you wish. Plus, wallpaper is incredibly versatile — it’s stylish by itself while offering a chic accompaniment to all of your décor, paintings and mid-century modern wall art.
Modern Wall Art
For an easy way to add a personal touch to each room, consider smaller individual pieces of contemporary wall art or furnishings. Create a gallery wall in the bedroom with artwork and framed photographs in a variety of sizes or select a statement piece or two to center your living room or dining room. Choosing frame styles adds another layer of customization to the space and can complement your imagery.
Design and Purchase Tips for Modern Wall Art
Here are a few tips for choosing the right piece of wall art for your space. Start by assessing the various elements of the room’s design. Try to match the color palette of wall décor with that of the room, looking at the primary shades and undertones of the furniture, carpet, and existing decorations. Color contrasts, subtle or more distinct, can help make your room feel cohesive and dynamic. To add a little flair, choose a piece of contemporary wall art with a complementary color (i.e., opposite on the color wheel) to what’s already on the wall.
It also helps to consider the textures and materials in the room, as well as its size and where the art will go. Always measure your space before making a purchase. Keep in mind that thicker pieces of art will add texture to the space and that, in smaller rooms, huge pieces of art may make the space feel cramped. If you’re looking for some inspiration, explore what is currently trending in modern wall art, such as abstract color-scapes, contemporary drawings, prints of animals and botanical patterns.
