Modern Wall Art
Wall art is a versatile type of home decor that classifies any piece of art or decor that you can hang on your walls. As with all types of art and decor, wall art is truly only limited by your (and your favorite artists’) imagination. Wall art is available in almost any size, from smaller than a playing card to larger than life, and can be made of paper, canvas, wood, metal, wool, fabric – practically any material. Wall art can be framed or unframed, and can depict any subject.
Abstract wall art pieces depicting indeterminate subjects made up of scattered or neatly organized flashes of color, geometric shapes, and straight or organic lines are popular in homes with modern interior design styles, though more traditional mediums, such as photography or drawings, can be just as appropriate in a minimalist space as they might be in a farmhouse or French-country space.
While some wall art pieces are original works, others are reprints, affordable art prints that allow you to hang otherwise priceless, museum-bound works of art in your home. It's an incredibly versatile type of decor that can break up blank wall space and add visual interest to any room. At Design Within Reach, shop modern and contemporary wall art that will help you fill your home with color and character.

Art prints and wall posters are ideal for renters or early homeowners who would rather not poke holes in their walls or who aren’t ready to commit to more expensive modern wall art options. Though art prints aren’t protected by frames, the modern art prints offered at Design Within Reach are printed on museum-quality acid-free paper. At DWR, shop modern abstract wall art by designers such as Liz Roache and Ronan Bouroullec or browse punchy illustrations from Herman Miller’s archives.
Metal Wall Art
Often textured to give the piece a three-dimensional effect, metal wall art is unique wall art made to decorate your home in unexpected ways. A piece of metal wall art in the shape of an animal or abstract shape can be the perfect piece of wall decor to break up a geometric gallery wall or make a statement on its own above a mantel or abov
