What You Must Know About Abstract Canvas Wall Art For The Modern Home

Walls in modern spaces are often painted in neutral tones like taupe or linen, and these subdued shades provide an ideal backdrop for art and decor in hot shades that pop against a neutral backdrop. Lending signature style and personality to a neutral space is as easy as repeating accent shades throughout. Hot hues like paprika, teal, and sunflower yellow can't help but take center stage when paired with a neutral background. The following suggestions will help you harness that style with canvas wall art and selected accessories.

Make a Statement: Focal Points and Related Accents

Build a space around artwork that speaks to your heart. Select canvas wall art that brings dimension, personality and color to your room. With its graphically brilliant presentation, a simple unframed canvas wall art will lend architectural interest to your living space. The outer edges of stretch canvas wall art are often painted in a contrasting color that gives it instant definition. You will discover larger pieces that work well by themselves or a series of canvases that are created to be displayed together to create a focal point on a big portion of your wall. Canvas wall art hung to fill a space is often sufficient on its own; when decorating a modern space, less is usually more. To make your choice of canvas wall art a truly conspicuous focal point, consider painting the wall behind it in a hue that is different from the rest of the room. To draw even more visual interest to the wall, choose a deep, dramatic color that blends well with the colors in the canvas wall art.

Enhance your choice of canvas wall art with freestanding or table sculpture, choosing sculpture that has thematic, color or linear similarities to the painting. A grouping of stone, metal or realistic resin sculpture above a sleek console or a tall sculpture in the corner is a simple way to link the canvas wall art to other components within the room.

Choose a dominant color in decorative wall art and then replicate it in Table Top accessories, throw pillows, upholstery, and lamps. Add depth and texture to the space with chunky raised nap fabrics, especially those that are in patterns of mixed and solid colors that will work to pull the palette together.

Unite everything with touches of black which will have a grounding influence on the space.

How can I get even light from two fixtures on the same circuit?

I replaced two wall sconces that were operated by the same single switch. One receptacle had a single black, white and ground wire. The other receptacle had two black, two white and a single ground wire. In the second receptacle the two black wires were twisted together and the two white wires were twisted together. I attached the black and white wires from each new light fixture to the respective black and wire wires in each receptacle. The light from the fixture with the double wires is brighter than the fixture with the single black and white wires. How can I get the lighting to be even?

Sounds like you connected everything correctly. Are you sure the bulbs are the same type and wattage in the two fixtures?
