TABLE OF CONTENTS
The living room is the place where you get together with all your family members at the end of a tiring day. It’s
also the room your guests see right after entering your home. Therefore, your living should be a haven of aesthetics
and warmth. With colourful paintings for the living room, you will be able to lend the space a unique personality
and style.
Adding wall art seems like a convenient way of transforming your living room. But finding an appropriate artwork for
your living room is not an easy task. Delve deeper into this article to discover how you can find the best artwork
to elevate the aesthetics of your living room.
Find Your Living Room's Focal Point
Before starting to look for the best artwork, you must consider the focal point of your living room. The focal point
can be the sofa, the fireplace, or an exquisite rug on the floor. Hanging a wall painting around the focal point of
your living room will help it grab the limelight. But remember to leave enough breathing space around the painting
to let your guests truly appreciate the piece.
Think About How You Want the Room to Feel

Next, you must consider the feeling you want the room to give out. Whether you want the room to feel cosy, lively, or
formal is an important consideration while picking the right artwork.
Modern abstract wall art with neutral and earthy hues will give out a cosy feeling. Artwork with bold stripes,
abstract shapes, botanical prints, and checkerboards ooze out an energetic and entertaining feeling. If you want to
make your living room feel formal but elegant, choose artwork with an abstract landscape.
Decide on the Size of the Wall Painting for the Living Room

The size of the artwork will influence the overall appearance of your living room. Look at where you should hang the
artwork according to its size:

Small art pieces are ideal for shelves. Hang multiple small wall paintings at different heights to create an
intriguing look.
Medium Wall Painting for Living Room

Medium wall paintings look great besides small pieces of furniture, like a chair or a side table. It helps in
capturing interest without making the space look cluttered.
Your large wall paintings deserve a place around the focal point. For instance, you can hang it over a sofa
or above a fireplace. A single piece of large canvas or a large frame is ideal for giving your living room a
clean and elegant appearance. Always consider the height of your living room while choosing a large wall
painting. Remember to leave adequate space around the artwork to prevent it from making the room seem
smaller.
Consider the Colour Palette of the Living Room
Consider the Colour Palette of the Living Room
If you ask what should be the most important consideration while picking an artwork for the living room, it has to be the colour palette of the overall space. The living room wall colours will have a major influence on what type of painting will stand out in the space. The colour palette will help you determine how much contrast you want between the art piece and the other elements inside the space.
Matching the colour palette of your room with that of the painting is not a necessity. Instead, you can play with accent colours. If your walls have bright colours, you can tone it down with a monochromatic artwork.
A painting with earthy shades like brown will look great on walls painted with warm, neutral tones. The combination of neutral tones with earthy hues makes it easy on the eyes. On the other hand, any artwork with shades of blue or grey will look magnificent on a wall with cooler undertones.
If your living room has white walls, add a painting with a rich splash of colours. It will add a dramatic element to your living room.
Remember that no artwork will look good on walls with chipped or faded paint. Therefore, you can always apply a fresh coat of paint on the walls before hanging a painting. Check out the exclusive shades available in the Nerolac interior wall paints range to make your pick.
Think About What Style of Artwork You Like
You will always invest in artwork in a style of your choice. But it’s mandatory to ensure that the artwork style goes well with your living room. For instance, go with minimal abstract painting for living rooms with the Japandi style. Meanwhile, a rustic living room creates space for abstract landscapes.

After picking the best wall painting for the living room, the question remains where to hang it. Some of the best places to hang your artwork in the living room are as follows:
On a wall facing your window: The wall opposite to your window is a great place to hang your artwork.
Over your sofa: The sofa in your living room immediately captures the attention of your guests. Hanging a large canvas on the wall behind it will also help draw attention toward it.
Shelves: If you have invested in smaller pieces of artwork, you can add them to your shelves.
Above the fireplace: Hanging your artwork over a fireplace will make it visible from all corners of the room.
Since it’s your living space, choose paintings that will reflect your personality. Moreover, consider art pieces that look good with the furniture and other items in your living room. In the end, stop stressing too much and choose the artwork that captures your attention.
