What Is Abstract Art?

Abstract art uses artistic elements such as colour, form, line, texture, shape and composition rather than necessarily depicting subjects in a literal or realistic way.

Some abstract artwork can suggest landscapes, figures, nature or objects while simplifying or transforming their appearance. Other abstract compositions are entirely non-representational, allowing colour, movement and form to become the primary focus.

Modern Abstract Art

Modern abstract art brings expressive colour, simplified forms, geometric shapes and contemporary composition into interior spaces.

Modern abstracts can range from restrained neutral artwork to bold, energetic compositions designed to become a room's central visual feature.

How to Choose Abstract Wall Art

• Start with the room: Consider the furniture, wall colour, lighting and overall interior style.
• Choose your colour direction: Decide whether you want bold colour, soft neutrals, monochrome or a combination.
• Consider the mood: Flowing forms and restrained palettes can feel different from high-contrast geometric compositions.
• Choose the right scale: Match the artwork size to the wall and surrounding furniture.
• Look beyond exact matching: Artwork can complement your décor without reproducing every colour in the room.
• Consider visual balance: Strong artwork benefits from appropriate surrounding space.

Read the How to Choose Wall Art Guide for additional artwork selection guidance.

How Large Should Abstract Wall Art Be?

The ideal size depends on the wall, furniture and desired visual impact.

For artwork displayed above furniture, approximately 60–75% of the furniture width is a useful starting point. Large walls can accommodate oversized abstracts, diptychs, triptychs or coordinated gallery arrangements.

Use the Wall Art Size Guide when comparing artwork dimensions.

How to Style Abstract Art

• Use a statement piece: Allow a large abstract to become the room's visual anchor.
• Repeat selected colours: Echo one or two artwork colours through soft furnishings or accessories.
• Contrast with simple furniture: Expressive artwork can stand out against restrained interiors.
• Use negative space: Give the artwork sufficient surrounding wall area to maintain visual impact.
• Layer textures: Combine abstract artwork with timber, stone, metal, glass and textiles.
• Consider lighting: Appropriate lighting can enhance colour, texture and visual detail.

Abstract Art vs Modern Art

Abstract art is defined by an approach to representation that can prioritise colour, form, line, shape and composition rather than literal depiction.

Modern art can refer to an historical period in art or, in home décor, artwork described as having a modern visual style.

Abstract artwork can therefore be modern, contemporary, traditional in inspiration or influenced by many different artistic approaches.

Abstract Art vs Contemporary Art

Contemporary art generally refers to art created in the present era and can encompass many different styles.

Abstract art describes an artistic approach rather than a specific period, meaning contemporary artwork can also be abstract.

Abstract Art vs Minimalist Art

Minimalist art emphasises simplicity, reduction and visual restraint.

Abstract art is broader and can include minimalist compositions as well as expressive, colourful, geometric and highly textured artwork.

Abstract Art vs Geometric Art

Geometric art uses structured shapes, lines, patterns and forms as central visual elements.

Abstract art is broader and can include geometric compositions alongside organic, expressive, gestural and fluid approaches.

Common Abstract Art Buying Mistakes

• Choosing the wrong scale: Artwork that is too small can lose impact on a large wall.
• Focusing only on colour: Consider composition, form, texture and overall visual balance as well.
• Overcrowding the wall: Abstract artwork often benefits from surrounding negative space.
• Ignoring the furniture: Consider how the artwork relates to sofas, beds, consoles and other large pieces.
• Overmatching: Artwork does not need to exactly match every decorative element.
• Skipping measurements: Measure the wall and furniture before purchasing.
