When it comes to home decor, there are a lot of ways to jazz up a space. From classic options like throw blankets and lighting to modern picks like stylish tech and trending statement pieces (we’re looking at you, candle warmer lamps), the options are truly endless. But there’s one piece of home decor that trumps all others: artwork. It’s the easiest way to add some flair to a room. Art is the perfect way to add style and personal touch to blank walls, empty shelves, and surface areas in need of a little pizzazz. One of our favorite forms of artwork is abstract wall art. Subtle yet striking, these pieces use color, shapes, and line work to tell a story — they’re also a great place to start when you don’t know what kind of art you want but know you want something interesting. On the hunt for your next abstract piece? We rounded up 10 of our favorite finds, including one you can put a personal touch on, below.
