Your Unique Living Room

Discovering your ideal living room décor is simple. All you have to do is reflect on a single question: What brings you happiness? Make your joy a top priority when redecorating your home. While your living room is intended as a space to host visitors and guests, it can still feel true to you. Other people can sense authenticity from a mile away, and onlookers tend to appreciate a home that reflects the personality of the homeowner. Wall art can bring a touch of personality to your space without overwhelming it. Canvas prints create the perfect balance between style and individuality. Whether it is your favorite color or a personal painting, add to your living space with a piece of art that represents who you are and what excites you.

Pro Tip: Living Room Wall Pictures

ElephantStock art director, Tirzah Goodman predicts a personalized trend to take over living room décor this summer. Use “definition wall art” for a truly individual look. This trendy take on typography is ideal for setting the scene in your unique space. Pick a word or phrase that means a lot to you, and display it for all to see.

Brighten Your Space with Color

You don’t need to stick to a monochromatic theme. In fact, combining bright colors with chic, modern hues is all the rage for 2023. Play around with vibrant shades in your living room. Create a neutral base to allow yourself more freedom with pops of color. A great way to balance your space is to use warm neutrals with cool colors, or alternately, cool neutrals with warm colors. A few stylish color combos include: grey with orange, sage with purple, and slate with rust red.

Color Tip: Blue Living Room Wall Pictures

Blue is a timeless tone that works in almost every interior. For a calming color that still packs a punch, blue is guaranteed to never go out of style. Experiment with blue-toned wall art for a contemporary look that works with your décor rather than against it.

Living Room Artwork Ideas: Sizes

After you select your perfect print, the next step is choosing your canvas size. Lucky for you, we have an entire guide for just that! A foolproof technique is to hang a large canvas over your couch to create a striking centerpiece. Check out this excerpt from our guide detailing how to choose the correct size to hang above your furniture:

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.
