Elevate your space with our Horizontal Abstract Canvas Art

A long, low canvas has a way of settling a room, and horizontal abstract wall art does it with shape, line and color instead of a literal scene. Here you’ll find wide abstract pieces painted by our artists, from quiet beige minimalism to misty horizons and bold strokes of black, crimson and gold. Each one comes in seven sizes, from 12x18 to 40x60 inches, framed in black, white or natural wood, or unframed.

Quiet Minimalist Neutrals

For a calm, pared-back wall, start with the soft beige pieces built around a single gesture or a few simple forms. Dining Room Abstract Art with Horizontal Olive Leaf pairs a modern, minimalist look with one long leaf shape, while Mid Century Modern Wall Decor Pebble and Olive Arcs adds warm notes of orange and terracotta. Abstract Shapes Wall Art with Arch, Pebble and Leaf brings a painterly touch, and Modern Office Wall Decor with One Graphite Stroke keeps things to a single mark. Sun and circle motifs appear in Earth Tone Abstract Art with Adobe Rose Half Sun, Zen Wall Art Open Ink Circle with Cedar Smudge and Negative Space Art with a High Clay Sun, while Nordic Wall Art Driftwood Band Under Sea Fog layers beige and gray in a Scandinavian spirit.

Misty Horizons and Abstract Landscapes

These wide canvases borrow from land, sea and city, then loosen them into abstraction in gray, beige and blue. Abstract Horizon Painting in Navy and Mist and Seascape Painting of a Misty Dawn Horizon lean soft and atmospheric, and Ochre Desert Horizon at First Light adds a touch of blue to warm beige. For layered, textured land forms, look at Extra Large Abstract Wall Art of Curving Hillside Terraces, Large Office Wall Art of Layered Canyon Strata and Oversized Canvas Wall Art of a Braided River Delta with its blue and teal. Wall Art Above Sofa Lilac Haze Meadow is a painterly meadow in beige. Architecture turns abstract in Law Office Wall Art of a Dawn Skyline and Corporate Office Wall Art of an Ochre Facade, and Wall Art for Office in Navy Slate and Sand sets navy blue against sand for a modern, tailored feel.

Bold Color and Gold Accents

When the wall should carry more energy, these expressive pieces bring saturated color and metallic notes. Black and Gold Abstract with Crimson Ember for Dining Rooms is the most dramatic, while Crimson Ridge with Gold Seams in Ivory Haze sets its crimson and gold on a lighter, painterly ground. Greens lead in Green Abstract Emerald Tide with Gold Veins and Agate Bands in Forest Green and Gold. For blue, teal and orange together, try Large Wall Decor for Living Room Amber Field, and for an expressionist burst of blue, Modern Abstract High Summer Burst.

Tips for Choosing and Hanging Horizontal Abstract Art

  • Over a sofa, bed or sideboard, aim for a canvas about two-thirds the width of the furniture below it.
  • Hang it so the center sits around 57 to 60 inches from the floor, or 8 to 10 inches above the top of a sofa.
  • Pull one color from the painting into a pillow, rug or vase to tie the room together.

What colors go well with horizontal abstract wall art?

Neutral pieces like Dining Room Abstract Art with Horizontal Olive Leaf sit easily with whites, warm woods and soft greens. Bolder canvases such as Black and Gold Abstract with Crimson Ember for Dining Rooms look striking against deep walls or crisp white, especially with a brass or black accent nearby.

What size horizontal abstract canvas should I hang above a sofa?

A good rule is a canvas roughly two-thirds the width of the sofa, so for most sofas the 30x45 or 40x60 inch sizes work well. Wide pieces like Wall Art Above Sofa Lilac Haze Meadow or Large Wall Decor for Living Room Amber Field are made for that spot and come in seven sizes, from 12x18 to 40x60 inches.

Should I choose a framed or unframed abstract canvas?

Unframed canvas gives a clean, modern edge, which suits minimalist pieces like Modern Office Wall Decor with One Graphite Stroke. A frame adds polish: natural wood warms up earthy works such as Earth Tone Abstract Art with Adobe Rose Half Sun, while black or white frames sharpen a bolder or more graphic piece.
