Let’s be honest: most interiors are... fine. Safe. Beige. Predictable. Utterly forgettable. If you want a space that leaves an impression and actually makes you feel something, you need a designer who takes risks, embraces bold color, and uses vibrant abstract art to disrupt sameness.
That’s why hiring a designer who isn’t afraid to push boundaries—and who incorporates bold abstract art—is the key to creating interiors that truly stand out. Abstract expressionism thrives on risk, color, and emotion, which makes it the perfect tool to transform a room. Here are my top five reasons for hiring a fearless interior designer who uses colorful abstract art:
1. Fearless designers turn rooms into experiences not showrooms.
A bold, colorful abstract expressionist painting in a space with unexpected, thoughtful design choices can transform a room from “meh” to unforgettable. As designer Kelly Wearstler puts it, “the best ideas are born out of risk” (The Decorologist, n.d.).

2. They inject personality and edge.
Your home should feel like you, not like a Pinterest board. Designers who push color and art boundaries bring personality, drama, and confidence into every corner. A beige wall doesn’t tell a story, and it won’t make anyone say, “Wow.” But a colorful, expressive abstract painting will. Designers who embrace color and vibrant art create spaces that confidently and authentically tell stories.
3. They disrupt predictability.
Predictable interiors are the design world’s elevator music (or cliché landscape paintings). A lively, chaotic abstract painting and unexpected pops of color disrupt monotony and inspire curiosity. Bold design makes everyday spaces feel alive, not just comfortable.
4. They help you take creative risks.
You might love color, but how do you balance it? How do you pick a painting that speaks to you and commands attention without overwhelming the room? A skilled, fearless designer guides you, pushing you slightly outside your comfort zone to ensure the result feels personal, exciting, and cohesive.

5. They make your space unforgettable.
Your home (or office) isn’t just a functional space; it’s an extension of you. Designers who understand the power of color and vibrant abstract art create spaces that leave a lasting impression and reflect who you are—vividly, unapologetically.
Stop blending in. Ditch the beige, embrace boldness, and hire a designer who colors outside the lines. Your walls—and anyone who enters—will thank you.
