Abstract Art applied to a Space as Focal Point in Interior Design


Abstract art becomes a rare treasure for it can make a space an intriguing and dynamic space, while assuming the personality of a room without literal representation. A bold line, vibrant colors, free flowing shapes-the interior designer can work with such themes as a mighty force if he were assigned on creating focal points. Some of the most attention-grabbing and emotive pieces can be found in abstract art. Below are ways you can make use of abstract art to create beautiful eye-catching points in your home.


1. Choosing the Right Artwork
Choosing the right abstract art for a room can be influenced by the aesthetic of the entire room. For example, imagine a painting where your room is covered by a neutral-coloured palette and then suddenly adorned with a colourful bold piece of abstract art. Or if you have a space bursting with strong tones, a more muted or monochromatic piece would better balance it out. Equally important is the size of the artwork - a large canvas is not only dominant on a wall but can also overpower a very small room; conversely, a smaller piece can be perfectly located within a gallery wall or stand out when presented in a bold frame.

2. Placement of Art
The location of abstract art will greatly make it the focal center point of the room. By attaching such art near the eye level, it catches the attention of any person entering the space. A good alternative for living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms is above any key piece of furniture like a sofa or bed; this anchors the art but gives it prominence. Alternatively, center it within a room, on a wall, or near architectural features like a fireplace or entrance for framing the work as a room's focal point.

3. Visual Contrast
Abstract art relies heavily on contrasts. Use this for breaking up monotony in a space-color contrast, texture, and even size. Take the straight minimally decorated modern interior and juxtapose its austerity with some dynamic abstract art piece imposing itself dramatically against the monotonous rest. Conversely, a dramatic abstract will work well when placed in a more traditionally oriented, vintage-setting environment against classic furniture and design elements to create an unexpected, but balanced harmony.

4. Blends Other Interior Decor Elements
Abstract art is incredibly potent on its own, but it can also play off other elements in the space. To make it even more beautiful, you may add decor items like pillows, rugs, or curtains that either repeat the colors or patterns in the art. Alternatively, contrasting patterns can bring out the artwork even more.

5. Abstract Art as an Expression of Personality
Abstract art gives one limitless possibilities for individual expression. What is, to one person, a fancy of geometric patterns, or fluid brushstrokes, or chaotic splashes of color, with a piece of abstract art may do no more than add depth and visual interest to a space but also express personal style and mood. It's always a nice conversational starter when the guests will tell you about their favorite experiences with the abstract art.

Conclusion.
Take abstract art to your interior space and unleash the power of a room through visually active and emotive focus. Right choices of artwork, placement, and complementary elements can make your space unique - a certain enhancement that makes it uniquely yours. Let the art speak and set up the rest of the design.
