Contemporary Wall Decor Ideas Custom Search "Create drama with creative contemporary wall decor" Contemporary wall decor is the finishing touch...the ‘aha’ moment...the pizzazz that completes your contemporary room or space. How do you create your ‘moment’? First, let’s think about what contemporary home decorating is about, because that will help determine how to complete the walls.
Depending on your taste and budget, you might select a piece of dramatic and boldly colorful artwork as a focal point in the dining area, for example, with track lighting to enhance the effect. This may be the single piece of contemporary wall decor in that room, because you don’t want to create a look that is cluttered or in any way competes with the artwork itself. The use of iron and metal is found frequently in modern decor, so geometric shaped sculpture from these materials can also make a dramatic statement on your contemporary walls. One large piece of artwork, a set of two or even a trio of prints can work well...just make sure the subject matter is contemporary and the pieces are colorful. Having said that, if your style is the black/white look, this artwork may follow that lead. At my home we are transitioning our decorating style from a more casual, tropical look to a clean, contemporary style of decorating. I found a set of companion prints that are contemporary florals (poppies, I think) set in black frames. I hung one of the prints in the dining area, and the other in the guest bedroom which can be seen from the dining area. The effect is very cool, because when you stand back and look at one print you see them both, even though they are in different rooms.
Mirrors as contemporary wall decor can be a great choice, and there are some exciting options in frames that almost create artwork in themselves. Enjoy experimenting with different sizes, colors and shapes of modern mirrors.A three-dimensional wall sculpture or grouping can also make a statement in wall decor, as can artwork that speaks to one particular shape such as circles or squares. If you love the idea of black and white as your color palette, wall art can reflect that as well. Bring in a splash of color somewhere in the space, though, to create some excitement. Your completed contemporary decorating should reflect the sleek, refined, uncluttered, dramatic look that defines this style.
