Looking for wall art for your living room? A large fine art photo above the sofa or sideboard is one of the fastest ways to turn a bare wall into an eye-catcher.
Living Room Wall Art: A Place to Make a Statement
The living room is where you relax, welcome guests and gather the most — making it the ideal place for a true statement piece. An atmospheric cityscape or a tranquil landscape above the sofa draws the eye and immediately sets the tone of your interior. Since the living room usually has the largest walls in the house, it's also where a large format really comes into its own.
A well-chosen photo above the sofa does more than decorate: it gives your living room a story and an atmosphere that suits you.
Tips for wall art in the living room
- Choose a size that suits the wall: above a sofa of 2.5 to 3 metres, a wide or large square piece works best
- One large photo often has more impact than several small pieces
- Let the photo take the lead: keep the rest of the wall and furniture understated
- Match the colours in the photo to your sofa, cushions or rug for a cohesive look

Choosing a material for your living room
In the living room, photo on canvas a popular choice: warm, available in large sizes and without disturbing light reflection. Looking for a sleeker, more modern look instead? Then photo on aluminium or photo on acrylic a great alternative.
