How to Choose the Right Abstract Painting for Your Bedroom

Abstract art carries a succinct moral dimension and represents virtues including order, purity, spirituality, and simplicity. 

 

Utilising shapes, colours, and forms to achieve its desired effect, an abstract piece can be interpreted by the viewer and lends itself to the tranquillity and serenity of the room in question.  

 

So, how do you choose the perfect abstract art piece for your bedroom? 

 

Begin by Considering the Vibe of Your Bedroom. 

 

Your bedroom is your private, precious space. It should evoke feelings of calm and peacefulness and enable you to drift off to sleep after a hard day’s work. 

 

That being said, the vibe of a bedroom is very much up to the individual. 

 

But as a guiding principle, look for abstract art that doesn’t immediately grab your attention as you walk into the room. 

 

Pieces with subtle, softer tones that complement the furnishings and interior décor will ensure the piece enhances the vibe of your bedroom without taking centre stage. 

 

Think Carefully About the Colours.

 

One of the most important considerations when choosing abstract art for your bedroom is the colour and shapes represented within the piece. 

 

Again, the emotive evocation of colours is very much personal. 

 

But ask yourself, how do specific colours make you feel? For instance, do soft shades of lilac have a calming and soothing influence on your mood? And do garish reds, greens, and yellows increase your alertness? 

 

Abstract artwork for the bedroom should help you relax, so opt for colours that you think will lend themselves to the purity and sanctity of your space. 

 

Be Mindful of the Boldness of the Shapes & Strokes.

 

The beauty of abstract art is that the meaning and representation of a piece is a matter of personal perception. We all resonate with abstract art differently, thanks to the subject and shapes that exist within the piece.

 

Some pieces contain bold shapes and strokes, whereas others have softer, more gentle strokes. Typically, bold abstract pieces are ideal for rooms where you’re constantly active (such as the kitchen), whereas more subtle strokes work beautifully in spaces where you’re trying to relax (such as the bedroom). 

 

Choose the Right Size for Your Selected Wall.

 

Selecting an appropriately sized painting for your chosen wall is super important. An improperly sized painting will be underwhelming and won’t achieve its desired effect. 

 

Consider whether your space is best suited for a portrait or landscape orientation, and don’t forget to allow ‘breathing space’ around the piece. 

 

Abstract pieces in the bedroom tend to hang over the bed, so consider the available wall space at your disposal and picture how well your chosen painting will fill the space. 

 

Ultimately, you want the painting to contribute positively to the aesthetics of your room, and it should feel like it belongs in the space you’ve chosen for it.
