# An Abstract Wall Art Edit, With a Couple of Exceptions

**By Elma Maxim-Shortt** · 2026-07-13

Wall art has a habit of being an afterthought — the furniture goes in first, the lighting gets sorted, and a print gets hung at the end almost because the wall looks bare. It shows. This edit is built the other way round: a genuine range of abstract prints strong enough to anchor a room, with two carefully chosen exceptions for anyone after something more representational.

## The Abstract Core

Eight of the ten pieces in this collection are abstract prints, and they span a genuinely wide range of moods rather than repeating the same look in different colourways.

**[Abstract Wall Art](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art)** is the collection's namesake piece and a solid entry point if you're not sure which direction to go — a balanced, versatile abstract composition that works in most rooms without dominating them.

**[Abstract Wall Art | Untamed Majesty](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art-untamed-majesty)** leans bolder and more expressive — the pick if you want your wall art to genuinely command attention rather than sit quietly in the background.

**[Abstract Wall Art | Neutral Tones](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art-1)** is the opposite instinct: a muted, tonal palette designed to add texture and depth to a room without introducing a strong new colour. This is the safest choice if you're decorating around an already-settled colour scheme.

**[Abstract Wall Art | Stacked Harmony](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art-stacked-harmony)** brings a more structured, layered composition — good for spaces that want a sense of order and calm rather than energy.

**[Abstract Wall Art | Vivid Reverie](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art-vivid-reverie)** is the most colour-forward piece in the range, closer in spirit to Untamed Majesty but with a dreamier, less graphic quality.

### The Bauhaus Trio

Three pieces in the collection form a distinct sub-series: **[Bauhaus Edition](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art-bauhaus-edition)**, **[Bauhaus Exhibition](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art-bauhaus-exhibition)**, and **[Bauhaus Ausstellung](https://own-maison.com/products/abstract-wall-art-bauhaus-ausstellung)** all draw on the geometric, primary-colour clarity associated with the Bauhaus design movement — clean shapes, confident colour blocking, and a distinctly graphic feel. Because these three share a visual language, they're worth considering as a genuine set rather than one-off picks: displayed together on a single wall, or spread through connected rooms, they'll read as a deliberate design choice rather than three unrelated prints.

## How to Choose Between Them

**Decide abstract or representational first, before you look at colour.** This is the single biggest fork in this collection. Abstract prints (the eight pieces above) suit contemporary, minimalist, or design-led spaces. The vintage portrait and tulip canvas suit rooms that want warmth and narrative rather than shape and colour theory.

**If you're drawn to the Bauhaus trio, consider displaying more than one.** Because they share a visual language, two or three of them together — on one wall or across a hallway — will look considerably more intentional than any single abstract print hung alone.

**Size relative to the wall, not the furniture below it.** A common mistake is sizing art to match a piece of furniture underneath — a print that looks proportionate above a narrow console can look lost on an otherwise bare wall. As a rough guide, art should span roughly 60-75% of the furniture's width beneath it, or go noticeably larger if the wall itself is empty.

**Let your room's existing focal point guide the choice.** If a room already has a strong visual anchor — a striking light fixture, a bold headboard — your wall art doesn't need to compete. In that case, Neutral Tones or the vintage portrait print will sit more comfortably than Untamed Majesty or Vivid Reverie.
