When it comes to art, sometimes simple is best. And while I've always loved an elaborate & colorful abstract piece, there's something special about a more minimal, high-contrast, large-scale black & white piece, too... Not only do they provide a distinct focal point to a room, they also add that dramatic + modern element as well.
Here are a few of my favorite spaces that showcase this look:
via Atlanta Homes
via Architectiral Digest

via design*sponge

See? Simple + minimal, yet dramatic + interesting.
To achieve this look in your own home, West Elm sells this great piece:
It's a pretty good size (24"x31.5"), comes with a solid wood frame, and is on sale for only $69.99 right now!
Or, if you're feeling especially brave, you can try painting one yourself, like my talented sister-in-law did! This is definitely on my to-do list :)
Happy Wednesday!
