Modern decor is based on the old adage "form follows function," and thus its hallmark is a minimalist approach with clean lines and open spaces. However, modern decor isn't meant to be stark but rather welcomes an infusion of character and your own personal style into the design. One way to accomplish this is through the incorporation of framed art pictures into your decor. Art can add so much to a design space in terms of color, theme, and form. Many associate abstract art prints with modern decors, but in this type of design scheme you're not limited at all to that particular art style. Here are some great ways to incorporate different art prints into a modern decor.
Purely Modern Design
Pure modern decor strives for an uncluttered look, with an emphasis on functionality and a minimum of excesses. What results are simple designs with easy accessibility and lots of space to move around in. Colors reflect this, relying heavily on a neutral palette with strategically placed splashes of hue here and there. And even in small rooms, a feeling of openness is often achieved through the use of color, fabrics, furniture, and lighting that offer the illusion of space.
In order for framed art pictures to enhance a purely modern design, they must replicate these modern values. The focus here should be on simplicity; you don't want anything too vibrant or showy. Modern art prints such as Tango in Red or Tango Argentina by Misha Lenn offer clean forms with just a splash of color and can be hung as a series on a bare wall. Another great choice is the geometric simplicity of prints such as Alfred Gockel's Circle of Love I or Unity by Monica Stewart. Abstract and colorful prints such as Rex Ray's Acapulco One can even add that splash of color that makes a modern decor really pop.
The Eclectic Approach
The great thing about modern style is the flexibility it offers, resulting in room designs that reflect your personal tastes. Here, you can create a sophisticated eclectic look, mixing and matching modern and traditional pieces and fabrics for a complex, rich style. The key here is to avoid creating a jarring feel in the room. Select pieces that are similar in terms of line and style, and place transitional elements throughout the room to help things flow.
In an eclectic modern decor, a wide range of framed art pictures can be used depending on the style you want to create. Fortunately, there are plenty of modern art prints to choose from. Just be sure that the lines, forms, and colors in the painting complement the look you're going for. Many Picasso prints go great with an eclectic decor, reflecting the richness of traditional elements combined with the simple lines and forms that define Picasso's modern style. Choose from prints such as Blue Nude, c. 1902 or The Dream. Other fine art pictures that would fit well with this design are Diego Rivera prints and those by Sam Toft.
A modern decor can be incorporated in so many different ways into your home. By choosing framed art pictures that enhance the style you're going for, you can create a unique modern look all your own.
