Finding the Right Place to Hang your Wall Art

You know you need some art on your living room wall. But how do you figure out where it goes?
Firstly, think about where the furniture is. A popular place for living room art is above the sofa, or over a chest of drawers. This way you create a stimulating interplay between artwork and furniture.
Open wall areas are ideal for larger art prints. The focus here is on the picture, without the distraction of furnishings, lamps, or whatever else. Ideally, you want the middle of your picture to be at eye level. If you spend most of your time in the living room seated, consider hanging your murals slightly lower, giving yourself an optimal view of your wall art from a sitting position.
Leaning Your Living Room Prints on the Wall
You don't necessarily have to hang and mount your wall art! An alternative to classic hanging is to place the picture on a chest of drawers or on a shelf. You can even place it directly on the floor and lean it against the wall. This opens up completely new possibilities for the placement of your picture - and you save yourself the drilling.
Find inspiring ideas for arranging your art in our article on picture hanging tips.
Tip: test different potential arrangements by cutting out a piece of cardboard in the shape of the pictures you want to hang.




Living Room Prints: From Mini to Oversized
Depending on size and shape, wall art will have different effects on the atmosophere of the living room.
Don't be afraid to present large format art in your living room. Their capacious dimensions draw the viewer directly into the scenery depicted, and have a wonderful effect on a room, even when the space is limited. They give the room more depth, and expand your optical horizons.
This effect is especially noticeable in landscape photographs, which open windows to distant places.
An alternative is an arrangement of various small prints. Depending on the available space, you can combine as many works as you like to create an appealing wall arrangement. Are you unsure which works will harmonize on a living room wall? Sets or series can make the selection easier, because they are already coordinated with each other. Our LUMAS Selections – sets of three Minis by some of our most popular artists – are a great choice if you are unsure how to mix and match!
With the checkerboard gallery wall arrangement, you line up pictures within a single grid scheme. Wondering how to make disparate themes, sizes, and colors cohere into a single harmonic arrangement? We've got a secret: placing different pictures in the same frame gives the impression that they're a sort of family, whether or not it is apparent that they are related on the level of theme. Check out our page on framed art for more tips and an introduction to our framing options!
In addition to choice of sizes, we offer art prints in various shapes and formats - from single pictures to triptychs.
A panorama print draws attention to long, empty walls, and is a particularly appropriate format for landscape and city prints. In this way, photographer Rudolf Rother stages the impressive panoramas of the Swiss Alps. The American Larry Yust forms his digital panoramas out of up to a hundred individual images, resulting in stunning cityscapes all over the world, from Cuba to Asia and the American West.
Particularly special are our round prints and cut-outs. The Australian artist Kate Shaw creates psychedelic landscapes in her round and panoramic prints, which shimmer in neon, pastel and glitter. René Twigge's floral compositions are particularly inspiring. Bring color into your living room with life-size silhouettes by Vincent Poole!




Living Room Art in All Colors
In addition to the right place and the right shape and size, the color of the prints plays a decisive role. Depending on the choice of color, the same room can have a completely different atmosphere. It is therefore worth considering what mood you want for your living room.
Discreet or conspicuous? Let your personal taste guide you in the color question. Some people prefer restrained colors, and others can't get enough color!
According to aesthetic theory, red stimulates. Yellow stands for optimism, activity, and warmth. Choose these colors for an upbeat mood.
Do you want a quieter environment? Blue and green radiate serenity. Discreet skin and earth tones also have a calming effect. While intense and rich colors stand out in the room, prints in pastel shades are more subtle.
Black and white prints, by contrast, complement colorful living room walls by presenting stimulating contrasts.
Color isn't contained to your picture. A frame made of neon acrylic glass lets the work shine in a new light and sets a modern color accent in your living room. Check out the dynamic creations of Rogério Reis.
Pay attention to your wall color when choosing your mural. One option is to keep your wall arrangements in a color family. To do this, coordinate your wall color with the colors of your print and frame. Alternatively, you can create a thrilling dynamic through contrasts. We recommend having a look at some of the color-specific tips in our colourful wall art page; or reading our expert's tips based on colour theory.
