Start with the room
Choose living room wall art by beginning with how the room is used, then matching the scale, colour and format to its furniture and light. A piece should give the seating area a focus without making the room feel crowded. Notice the wall from the main seat, choose a proportion that relates to the sofa, and let the artwork reinforce the atmosphere you want to spend time in.
Choose the scale
Measure the width of the furniture below the wall before browsing. A single work often feels settled when it occupies a generous part of that width, while a larger open wall can carry a grouped arrangement.
- Use a smaller piece for a reading corner or side wall.
- Let a wide wall above a sofa take a more substantial composition.
- Mark the outline with paper or masking tape, then view it from across the room.
Choose the colour
Pick out one or two colours already present in the room, such as a cushion, rug or painted detail. You can repeat them gently, or choose a contrasting note if the room needs energy. Browse the Gallery to compare moods, or explore the Abstract Theme for expressive compositions.
Choose the format
Keep the format in proportion with the wall and the feeling of the room. A Framed Print gives the image a defined edge that can work especially well above furniture or beside quieter architectural details.
