Modern Living Room Décor: Pro Tips

Designer Yoko Chow shares her advice for capitalizing on a contemporary color palette.

“It is not always necessary to go through an extensive remodel to reach your goal. Often, you can play with colors and textures to enhance the ambience and uplift your [living space]. If I had to pick the top five affordable ways to upgrade your living room, the first would be painting the walls. It is not only [about] the color, but the texture and sheen level [as well]. Today, if you’re after a modern look, removing this rough texture and reducing the sheen level should update the room and make it contemporary.”

For an even easier way to make a visual impact, Yoko Chow discusses the importance of wall art.

“Instead of painting an entire wall, 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 an accent wall, it may be fun to install something large and impactful. If you feel one wall is [lacking something special], medium-sized print (or a few small ones) will work effectively. Please be mindful to pick a color palette to [complement] the rest of the space.”

Red Living Room Wall Décor

If you’re stumped on which new color to incorporate, you can’t go wrong with red. Vibrant variations of red are a great way to bridge the gap between elegant and eye-popping. Use it as an accent color, or commit to a daring red interior.

Living Room Wall Décor Sizes

After you’ve selected your style and color palette, it’s time to get serious about your wall art. While your overall aesthetic will determine your perfect print, your living room layout will determine the right size. Lucky for you, we’ve penned the Ultimate Wall Art Size guide to help you with your selection. If you’re set on hanging your canvas above this sofa, read through this handy excerpt:

PERFECT ABOVE THE SOFA: 48"X32"

A canvas size that measures 48 inches by 32 inches in height and width looks awesome above a 78 inches sofa in the living room.
Also, pay attention to the height at which you hang the art. Generally, for a pleasing aesthetic, you should place the center of the canvas at eye-level. Hang it between 6 inches and 12 inches above the couch to give it some room to breathe.
