Elevate your space with our Mid Century Modern Framed Canvas Art

A frame finishes a canvas the way a teak sideboard finishes a room, and this mid century modern framed wall art is chosen with that in mind. Every piece is painted by our artists and comes in seven sizes from 12x18 to 40x60 inches, framed in black, white or natural wood, or unframed if you prefer. Below, we group the pieces by look and suggest which frame brings out each one.

Soft Beige Abstracts with Olive Leaves and Pebbles

These quiet, minimalist pieces lean on beige grounds and simple organic shapes, and a natural wood frame echoes their earthy calm. Start with Mid Century Modern Abstract Painting with Slate Slab and Mid Century Abstract Art with Leaning Olive Leaf, two vertical pieces that suit a narrow wall or a hallway. Vertical Abstract Wall Art with Olive Arcs adds orange and terracotta to the beige, and its horizontal companion Mid Century Modern Wall Decor Pebble and Olive Arcs shares that warm palette over a sofa or bed. For a long wall above a table, Dining Room Abstract Art with Horizontal Olive Leaf fits naturally. Mid Century Abstract Painting of a Leaning Pebble Cairn and Mid Century Modern Paintings of Three Leaves and Sun round out the group with the same pared-back mood.

Geometric and Retro Shapes in Teal, Cobalt and Coral

Circles, arches, half moons and boomerangs give these pieces the graphic energy of the 1950s, and a crisp black frame sharpens their edges. Mid Century Geometric Art with a Sliding Split Circle and Mid Century Modern Prints of Three Tipping Half Moons keep things minimal, while Mid Century Modern Home Decor with Five Stacked Swatches and Geometric Abstract Art with Cobalt Sun and Tail Fin lean vintage and retro. Teal runs through Mid Century Wall Decor with Teal and Ochre Leaves, Retro Wall Decor with Teal Pebble and Coral Sun, Minimalist Geometric Teal Arch with Terracotta Half-Circle and Geometric Abstract Painting of Crossed Teal and Orange Boomerangs. For wider walls, the horizontal Abstract Wall Art for Living Room with Teal Sun and Mid Century Modern Art Half Circle With Teal Pebble sit well above a low credenza.

Painterly Wildlife and Still Lifes

These pieces bring birds, animals and botanicals into the mid-century look, and a white frame keeps their painterly or illustrative style light and fresh. Blue and teal set the tone in Mid Century Modern Gallery Wall Owl Under the Moon and 1950s Wall Art of Koi in a Kidney Pond. Red Fox Trotting Through Lollipop Autumn Trees, Mid Century Modern Art Prints with Two Songbirds and Heron Wall Art of a Blue Heron Among Cattails work beautifully side by side on a gallery wall. For a kitchen or dining room, try Two Pears Beside a Teal Glass Bottle or Retro Botanical Prints Monstera Leaf in a Clay Vase, which a natural wood frame warms nicely.

Choosing the Frame and Hanging It

  • Pick natural wood to echo walnut or teak furniture, black to sharpen bold geometric shapes, and white to keep a light, airy room feeling open.
  • Use one frame color across a gallery wall so mixed subjects, from owls to half moons, read as a single set.
  • Hang the center of the piece about 57 inches from the floor, or 8 to 10 inches above a sofa or sideboard.

Which frame color works best with mid century modern wall art?

Natural wood suits the soft beige pieces and echoes teak or walnut furniture, as with Mid Century Abstract Art with Leaning Olive Leaf. Black frames sharpen bold geometric shapes like Geometric Abstract Art with Cobalt Sun and Tail Fin, while white keeps painterly pieces light.

What colors pair well with these pieces in a living room?

Warm neutrals, olive, mustard and rust all sit comfortably beside the beige, teal and terracotta in these pieces. Abstract Wall Art for Living Room with Teal Sun picks up teal cushions or a teal chair, and Vertical Abstract Wall Art with Olive Arcs ties in orange and terracotta accents.

What size should I choose for above a sofa or sideboard?

Aim for a piece about two-thirds the width of the furniture below it, which often means one of the larger horizontal sizes. Mid Century Modern Wall Decor Pebble and Olive Arcs and Dining Room Abstract Art with Horizontal Olive Leaf are horizontal, so they fill a long wall well.
