Living Room Art Guide
Finding the Right Place to Hang your 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 art in the living room 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 motif, without the distraction of furnishings or lamps. Ideally, you want the centre of the motif piece to be at eye level. If you spend most of your time in the living room sitting, consider hanging your murals slightly lower. This gives you an optimal view of your artwork from a seated position.
Think about what the height at which you hang it says about both the piece and the room itself. Is your living room close by to your bedroom? Hang it lower - this lets your eyes skim across the room as you sit or stand, without strain.
Leaning Your Prints on the Wall
You don't necessarily have to hang and mount your art! An alternative to classic hanging is to lean art 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 piece - and saves you the hassle of drilling.
Find inspiring ideas for arranging your art in our article on art hanging tips.
Tip: test different potential arrangements by using a piece of cardboard in the shape of the art pieces you want to hang.
Living Room Prints: From Mini to Oversized
Depending on its size and shape, the art you choose 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. The capacious dimensions draw the viewer directly into the scenery depicted and have a wonderful effect on a room as a whole, even when space is limited. Large format works give the room more depth and expand your optical horizons. This effect is especially noticeable in landscape photography, which opens windows to distant places.
Large works can be especially compelling as the focal point for a room. Use big, open wall space to display large pieces.
Another 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. Our multi-piece artworks allow you to hang and arrange creatively.
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? Here is a tip: placing different works in the same arrangement gives the impression that they're a sort of family, regardless of how closely related the themes are. Framed prints are a way to customize and enhance your choices of multiple works within a single arrangement, or give your artwork pride of place in your decor scheme. Check out our page on framed art for more tips and an introduction to our framing options.
In addition to choice of sizes, we also offer prints in various shapes and formats - from single pieces to triptych artworks.
A panoramaic art print draws attention to long, empty walls, and is a particularly appropriate format for landscape and city prints. In this way, photographer Rudolf Rother showcases the impressive panoramas of the Swiss Alps. The American artistLarry 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.
Round prints and cut-outs deliver especially pleasant effects. The Australian artist Kate Shaw creates psychedelic landscapes in her round panoramic prints, which shimmer in neon, pastel and glitter. René Twigge's floral compositions inspire with the depth of their color and motifs.
Art in Every Color
In addition to the right place, shape and size, the color of the print plays a decisive role. Depending on the choice of color, the same room can have completely different atmospheres. 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, while others can't get enough color!
According to aesthetic theory, red art stimulates. Yellow art evokes optimism, activity, and warmth. Choose these colors for an dynamic or upbeat mood.
Do you want a quieter environment? Blue artworks and green artworks radiate serenity. Discreet skin and earth tones also have a calming effect. While intense and rich colors stand out in the room, pastel shade prints are more subtle.
Black and white art, by contrast, complements colorful living room walls by presenting stimulating contrasts.
Color isn't contained to the artwork. 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.
Pay attention to your wall color when choosing your piece. One option is to keep your wall arrangements in a single 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.
