Color Concepts to Consider

When it comes to color, dare to combine dramatic shades with uplifting hues. It’s all about balance. Consider pairing bright tones with vibrant accent colors. You don’t have to choose just one! Rather than matching everything in your space, embrace a variety of different tones. Design expert Yoko Chow elaborates:

Living Room Design: Pro Tips

“The combination of bright colors and neutrals are represented by a few popular styles today including Boho and modern Mid-century. Neutral background colors should assist in prioritizing the color you desire to stand out or make it appear as you planned.”

Living Room Wall Art: Sizes

For a complete guide to canvas sizes, check out our article on selecting a wall art size. View a handy excerpt below, tailored towards living rooms:

Living Room Canvas Wall Art: Sizing Excerpt

“Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.

For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall’s 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet – 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet – 3.75 feet.

Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a fireplace, a bed or a couch, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture’s width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above the couch.”

Living Room Wall Art: Shapes

Once you’ve selected your perfect size, the next step is to consider the shape of your prospective canvas. There are a few critical elements to consider when it comes to shape and layout. It all comes down to your personal style and what you want to achieve with your living room. The first option is the classic, single-panel canvas. If you want to create a more contemporary look, go with a trendy two-panel canvas print. For a more multi-faceted modern take, choose a 3, 4, and 5-panel piece. Finally, for the ultra-daring designer, opt for a 7-piece hexagon.
