Small spaces don’t have to limit your creativity when it comes to decorating with abstract art. By choosing the right pieces and placements, you can maximize the impact of your artwork without overwhelming the room.
Here’s how:

Leverage Light and Color
Lighter tones in abstract art can help brighten up smaller areas, making them feel more open. If you prefer bolder colors, don’t be afraid to experiment. A vibrant abstract piece can inject energy into a small room, transforming it from simple to striking.Â
Create a Artistic Visual Focal Point
Just because a room is small doesn’t mean it can’t have a focal point. A striking abstract painting, whether placed above a cozy reading nook or near a window, can instantly draw attention.
