Abstract paintings to decorate walls

There are decorative paintings for all tastes and all themes: large, small, landscapes, portraits, figurative ... Today, however, we want to focus on abstract paintings, for their modernity, neutrality, timeliness and how well they usually look on any wall.

Within the abstract paintings there is also a lot to choose from, both in color, technique, thickness of the brushstroke, design ... so to focus a little shot we are going to be shelling out some decorative options with which you will succeed without hesitation.

White on white

This is one of the most original and least used options when it comes to decorating with abstract paintings. Perhaps because most people find it strange or think that it will not stand out from the wall. However, if you play with textures or if you intersperse some other soft color (gray, mauve, blue lines) the result can be spectacular and very relaxing.

Black and white

Unlike the previous case, the abstract painting in black and white is one of the most used. It brings elegance and sobriety, but at the same time a lot of character. They are usually paintings that attract attention, to which all eyes are directed.

Long live color

In this case we go the other way: powerful and colorful abstract paintings to decorate a bare wall.

Of course, although they say that art is subjective, there are many colored paintings and not all of them decorate in the same way. A very interesting option is to use monochrome paintings (of a single color) even if they contain different shades of the range...

Another option is to go for multicolor ranges, although in this case they usually look better when they create geometric shapes (mainly vertical or horizontal stripes or quadrants) than when they are mixed with random stains.

Geometric designs

A very common resource when decorating walls is to use abstract paintings with some kind of geometric design. Circles, ellipses, or indefinite irregular shapes are all options that dress up any wall very well.

Uniform painting

Although a priori it may not seem so, plain paintings are also considered abstract, if only by elimination: they are not landscapes, they are not portraits, they are not figurative....

However, this type of paintings are usually spectacular at a decorative level. Most of the times they have light textures to break with the monotony of color, and sometimes the plain is chosen precisely to contrast with the texture of a wall.

Doodles

Works with some kind of doodle or subtle line are also tremendously decorative, apart from adding a lot of character to the wall. For some, they even convey more of a sense of artwork" than others based on geometric blobs.

Textures

Another option is to opt for paintings that have very marked textures, such as the relief of the strokes or the marking of the brushstrokes.

Paintings based on the aesthetics of natural gemstones, with their various metallic or pearly shades, could also be considered textured.

Stains

Vertically or horizontally, marked or blurred, large or small, the stain is the queen of the abstract painting.

A common resource when using the stain as a technique is to use diptychs in which the direction of the stain continues from one painting to another, as if they were one.

Anyway, as we can see abstract painting is not one and uniform but there is a whole world of options to choose from depending on the size of our wall, the impact we want to create and the tones with which it is decorated, so for those of you who need more inspiration, here are some more images of abstract paintings to decorate the wall.
