Abstract Mural

Abstract wall murals for modern interiors

Abstract murals are the easiest way to add art to a room on a large scale. Instead of a picture of a specific scene, they use shapes, lines, color fields and textures to set a mood. That makes them very flexible: an abstract design can be calm and neutral or bold and energetic, and it adapts to almost any furniture style.

Popular abstract styles

• Organic shapes: soft arches, circles and pebble forms in beige, terracotta and sage, ideal for Japandi and boho interiors.
• Brushstrokes and watercolor: painterly washes that look like a large canvas.
• Line art: minimal gold or black lines on light backgrounds.
• Waves and gradients: flowing layers that bring gentle movement to a wall.
• Geometric abstraction: bold blocks of color and patterns; see also our geometric murals and 3D murals.

Where abstract murals work best

In a living room, a large abstract composition behind the sofa replaces a gallery wall. In a bedroom, soft neutral shapes create a calm, hotel-like feel. Abstract designs are also popular in offices, studios, salons and cafés because they add personality without distracting.

Tips

Pick two or three colors from the mural and repeat them in cushions, rugs or ceramics to tie the room together. Large-scale shapes look best on large walls; smaller patterns suit narrow walls and hallways. The Premium material, with its canvas texture, makes painterly designs look even more like real art.
