Contemporary Art

Contemporary art works best when the room needs a clean focal point with current color, line, or texture. Compare framed prints with furniture-scale accents like modern accent tables, then use modern mirrors when the room needs more light and scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes art contemporary?

Contemporary art usually uses current palettes, simplified composition, abstract forms, or modern subject matter that works with clean furniture and lighting.

How large should contemporary art be?

Use the furniture below it as the guide. A single large piece often works best over sofas and beds, while smaller works can be grouped over consoles or desks.

How do I make contemporary art feel cohesive?

Repeat one color, finish, or shape from the artwork in nearby lighting, mirrors, accent tables, or decorative accessories.
