Contemporary Wall Art

You can never be too creative with your wall art --- especially if it’s contemporary! The designs and styles of contemporary wall art know no boundaries; they only exist in your willingness to experiment. The unconventional and the unique often get high praise because of their distinct aesthetic quality.

Strange as a contemporary wall art, distressed wood has been actually used for creative purposes since earlier times until now. This Rennick by Uttermost is made of reclaimed pine wood with a rusty streak. True, it’s not your common wall art but that’s what makes it special. Its texture, design and the fact that it’s made of old pine wood, gives it a life of its own, a story to tell. It symbolizes a life uncontrolled by excessive need and glamour, a philosophy rooted in simplicity. 

Metal plaques exude a sense of extravagance, power, and royalty. It gives off a classical elegance that not every home décor can complement. This Metal Kivalina by Uttermost perfectly fits the description of a high-profile contemporary wall art. Bringing out a vibe of antiquity with its deep red stain and antiqued bronze undertones, this art piece of woven metal strips is a perfect example of a grandiose contemporary wall art.

Antiqued mirrors can also be a fabulous contemporary wall art, especially if they are arched. The Granby by Uttermost decorative arch features a rustic brown finish and heavily antiqued mirrors. This contemporary piece is simple classical and pristine, adding character and charm to your home décor. 

Every piece of contemporary wall art, or any piece of furniture for that matter, has a certain character that affects the room and affects you. It’s important to know what kind of mood you want your room to exude and how your personality can jive with it, to make you a perfect pair!
