Living Room Wall Art That Works at Scale
Large Horizontal Prints for Above the Sofa
The wall above a sofa calls for a wide horizontal canvas print that covers roughly 60–75% of the sofa’s length. Coastal Cliffs and Serene Beach which feature open shorelines in soft, neutral tones would look great above a sofa. For a bolder statement, Sunset Ride which features a herd of horses across a wide pale canvas, and Gathering Storm brings a painterly depth that suits larger living rooms.

Wall Art Sets of 2 for Wide Living Room Walls
Some living room walls are too wide for a single canvas. A matched set of 2 fills the space without overcrowding it. The Verdant Grace Set of 2, Ivory Petals Set of 2, and Blue Mist Horizon Set of 2 are all designed to hang together. They both share the same palette and dimensions and arrive ready to hang as a pair.
Hang both at the same height with a two to four inch gap between them, centered above the sofa.
Abstract Living Room Wall Art
Abstract pieces work well in living rooms where a literal landscape or botanical subject would feel too specific. Blue Mist Horizon, Desert Quietude, and Dusk Ridge come in clean horizon lines which makes them perfect for living rooms.
Rustic Persona brings stronger contrast and a more contemporary edge, suited to a living room with modern furniture and a defined feature wall.
FAQ
What size wall art is best for a living room?
For the wall above a sofa, aim for a horizontal canvas that covers 60–75% of the sofa’s width, typically between 40 and 60 inches wide. For very wide walls, a set of 2 works better than a single large canvas.
What style of wall art suits a living room?
Coastal, landscape, and abstract prints all work well in living rooms. The key is choosing tones that complement the room rather than compete with it.
How high should you hang wall art in a living room?
Hang art so the centre of the canvas sits at eye level, roughly 57 to 60 inches from the floor. Above a sofa, the bottom of the canvas should sit six to eight inches above the top of the sofa back.
Is wall art ready to hang when it arrives?
Yes. Every piece arrives fully assembled with a hanging wire pre-installed on the back. One screw in the wall and you’re done.
What framing options are available?
Every piece is available as a stretched canvas or with a floating frame in oak, walnut, black, or gold.
