Artwork can both blend into the background and make a bold statement. Regardless of how you wish to incorporate artwork into your decor, abstract art can be a key way to bring in color and graphic elements that typically don’t clash with other elements in a space.

When looking to infuse abstract artwork into your home, here are some top tips.
1. Consider a monochromatic color palette. In a modern space, a monochromatic color palette often feels crisp and clean.
2. Incorporate a sense of contrast. Colors that are boldly different, such as black and white, can often make a striking impact.
3. Pair similar abstract artwork pieces together to create artwork in a series such as diptychs and triptychs.
4. Use mirrors. Mirrors can help to elongate the presentation of abstract art.
5. Create gallery opportunities to display abstract art such as down a long hallway or above a bed.
