Choosing wall décor for a modern style room requires a minimalist approach. However decorating with a “less is more” attitude can be a challenge. Your wall decor selections will receive more attention, simply because there is less to look at in the space. Therefore it is very important to keep some key factors in mind while making your selections. Wall décor should be in proportion to the wall and in proportion with other elements within the setting.

Keep in mind the following:

1. Mirrors: Mirrors can make any room appear larger. To avoid ending up with a bleak or desolate appearance; make sure that the view being mirrored is a pleasant one. Before hanging the mirror lean it against the wall or furniture and take into consideration the mirrored image. When selecting an appropriate mirror, for a modern space, opt for a sleek frame with clean lines. Frameless mirrors in an interesting geometric shape also look great in this type of setting.

2. Paintings: Abstract artwork compliments and enhances a modern space for various reasons. The subject matter is simple and does not conflict with minimalist furnishings. Bright colors and various textures add warmth and interest to the space. An abstract painting can become a perfect accent or finishing touch you were searching for.

4. Sculptures: All too often Modern style decorating proves unsuccessful and feels cold and institutional. This occurs because the room is simply too stark; it lacks variety of texture(s), contrast and natural elements. Using different materials in their “raw” appearance can add natural essence and comfort that people look for in a room.

Happy Decorating!
