The Right Art for Your Living Room

The "right" wall art is all about selecting a piece that makes you feel comfortable. Blend current trends with your personal style for a look that's both universal and individual.

Living Room Décor: Pro Tips

Interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz summarizes 2021 trends in a single statement:

"This year's aim is to express a message of strength and hopefulness to create a synergy between coziness, functionality and the sense of comfort."

ElephantStock's fellow resident designer Yoko Chow explains how wall art can transform your space:

"Instead of [committing to a full-blown renovation,] you can simply look for a piece of wall art in the right size and color palette. If you want to focus on wall art instead of [more complex upgrades,] it may be worth it to install something large and impactful. Just be mindful to pick a color palette to complement the rest of the space." Easy-peasy!

Choosing A Complementary Style

When it comes to oversized wall art, a large print will set the tone for your entire space. Be mindful of what you want to convey. If you're looking to create a contemporary space, consider pairing it with a modern trend.

Living Room Décor: Pro Tips

ElephantStock's décor pro Elimar Lobo Sáenz lists a few of her favorite trends for 2021:

-The "Livable Luxury" style

-Indoor plants & greenery

-Light fixtures & affordable accessories with character

All of these trends have something in common. 2021 is all about creating safe spaces that are loaded with brightness and positive energy. For a finishing touch, Elimar recommends using natural and sustainable materials, as well as different types of wood and handmade fabrics.

For a foolproof print to pair with your minor modern upgrades, go with a trendy Abstract Figure print. This collection was curated by our art director Tirzah Goodman. The best part? This minimal style ensures you can't go big enough!

An Eye-Catching Color Palette

An oversized piece of wall art is eye-catching on its own. You don't need to go overboard with vibrant colors to create a focal point; the size of the canvas will achieve that on its own!

Blue Wall Art for Living Rooms

Blue will always be the ultimate go-to color for artwork. While it isn't a neutral shade, it can be used liberally without looking garish. Whether your style is vintage or abstract, blue is the perfect color for any homeowner.

Black and Grey Wall Art for Living Rooms

Another way to balance the size of your piece is to use no color at all! Black and grey can still make a significant statement while never appearing gaudy. Classic or contemporary, no shades are more versatile than these colorless tones

Living Room Wall Art: Sizes

Wondering which size will suit your space best? View this excerpt from our Ultimate Wall Art Size Guide, specifically tailored towards oversized art:

THE DRAMATIC OPTION: 68"X45"

Looking for something really dramatic and big for a large empty wall? We got you!
Choose an oversized wall art that measures 68 inches by 45 inches in height and width. If you want to cover the entire wall above your couch or bed, this is the right size selection for your canvas. It makes your space look dramatic and appealing while adding a luxurious touch to your space.
Before hanging your well-sized wall art, make sure you mark the corners where you want to hang it. For marking, you can use a paper tape so that you can visualize the canvas before actually buying or drilling a hole into the wall.

ABOVE FURNITURE

Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a fireplace, a bed or a couch, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above the couch.

Topics Beyond Living Room Wall Art

If you need more convincing on why you should invest in a statement piece of artwork, check out this closing excerpt from our complete guide to professional living room décor:

"The importance of the living room during the pandemic has increased since it is a space dedicated to relaxing and gathering with family members. Many homeowners have refined their approach toward [decorating] this space, and [took to] researching how to enhance the level of comfort. Since the stay-at-home order was placed, the [ambience of our home] has become increasingly significant in our lives. Post-this unprecedented time, it is understandable that the living room has become a critical space for us. With longer hours to spend in this central room, it is a natural reaction to review its functionality and put effort into improvements." – Yoko Chow.
