I heart Art- Abstracts

I’ve been thinking about art a lot. Over the last year, it’s been something I’ve really come to want a lot more of. You know, the good pieces- not the stuff you find at big box stores- art that will last. Since I’ve done a few posts already, I’m thinking about making it a weekly feature- I Heart Art. I’d like to chat about artists, types of art and how to incorporate it into your lives. I firmly believe that art is so important to a well designed space. Whether it’s in the form of paint, photography or sculpture it really does make a space more interesting.

Today I would like to focus on abstract art and how to incorporate it into your home. This type of art I find a bit easier to incorporate simply because it can go in so many different spaces, unlike, say a nude, which most people confine to private spaces such as bedrooms or bathrooms (PS: I’m not opposed to putting nudes in general spaces *wink*).

The art in this space is large but it doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the design. That’s what I love about abstracts, they can either be the stand out piece or just simply be a accent.

Adding abstract art is easy- really it is. Just make sure you pick an image you love, something that speaks to you. You have two choices: a.)You can either hang the piece your love anywhere simply because you love it and I promise it will work or b.) you can try to have the colors “go” (dare I say match) in the space and use the art as an accent in the room. Either way it’s up to you. I’ll pick the latter choice and show you how I would use an abstract piece in a fun way.
