Living Room Wall Art

Living rooms are wonderful places to reflect the things that you and your family love. Prints that reflect your interests, hobbies or memories are a great way to ensure everyone feels at home. Equally, large abstract artwork can add a burst of colour and energy without being distracting.

The wall above the sofa is often a key focal point in the room, and the furniture underneath means you need to balance your artwork across quite a wide space. If you’re going for a single print, bigger is usually better; otherwise, your art can look lost on the wall. At the other end of the spectrum, gallery walls are a fantastic way to incorporate art that’s meaningful to the whole family. A happy medium is a set of three prints, which fills the space nicely without requiring as much planning as a full gallery wall.

The 2/3 rule is a general rule of thumb that artwork, or a group of artworks, should be around two-thirds as wide as the furniture below it. This helps the artwork feel balanced with the furniture rather than too small or overpowering.

When you’re looking for large prints, consider both the size of the wall and the quality of the paper and printing. Fox & Velvet prints are available in sizes up to A1 and are giclée printed on heavyweight fine art paper using vibrant pigment inks, so they’re made to stay looking beautiful for as long as you want to display them.
