Today's moodboard is all about an art-foward look. What does art-forward mean, you ask? The art-forward modern moodboard is all about interesting shapes and textures. It takes you out of the norm and places you in a room thats both interesting and eclectic, but also meticulously collected and refined. Let's take a look!



Modern moodboard with neutral sofa, abstract art, wooden chair, and pendant light on beige backdrop. Text: "Moodboard Monday: Art-Forward Modern."

With muted hues of brown, ivory, grey, black, cream, and white this room is stylish to the max. The texture on the coffee table paired with the cane of the chair and the fringe of the ottoman bring so much interest. But we keep things grounded with a neutral, simple rug. My favorite decor pieces in this space are the 5-foot-tall candle stands -- they add so much drama and are such a unique item. Shop everything in this mood board below!
