Art Prints For The Living Room

Don’t be afraid to go big: The living room is traditionally the largest and most centrally used room in the house. Because of this, it is the perfect room to showcase a larger piece of artwork that makes a statement. Truth be told, small artwork might seem a bit out of place, unless you use a collection of smaller pieces to create a gallery wall. Minted carries a wide variety of framed wall art for the living room, with larger sizes including 44” x 44”, 40” x 54”, 44” x 60”, and 48” x 70”.

Tie into a color theme: The goal isn’t necessarily to “match” living room art paintings with everything else present in the room, but rather to complement colors and designs that might already exist. Consider how artwork will look with the accent colors of pillows, curtains, and other furniture in the room. Consider black and white designs as well, as those colors pair nicely with almost anything. Some of Minted’s shoppable selections allow you to toggle between numerous color options for the same work of art, so you can opt for a color that best suits your tastes.

It’s all about style: How is your living room currently styled? If you have tropical plants, experiment with how your wall decor can play off that. If you love faux fur throws and a rustic look, consider artwork that could complement it. Or if you have a more minimalist approach to your furniture and decor, find a piece of minimalist art that makes a statement and ties in nicely. In general, try to avoid clashing styles that seem out of place.

Symmetry as design chemistry: Consider symmetry, natural lines, and white space. Even if you are arranging a gallery wall with a collection of artwork, take into account where windows are aligned, where the TV is, the fireplace placement, the location of a doorway, and other architectural elements.

Photography: If you love the great outdoors, you’ll appreciate a beautiful black-and-white photo of the woods or a shot of a stunning coastline. Appreciate city vibes by selecting a portrait of Paris or New York City at night. And if you’re looking for a statement piece, opt for a piece from a collection called “flower people.” It’s as curious as it sounds!

Abstract: Minted’s abstract artists use various mediums, styles, and textures to create one-of-a-kind art. Choose from symmetrical and asymmetrical art, delight in interconnected circles, colorful swirls, and black and white geometric patterns. If it’s a painting for the living room wall, abstract work will almost always be a conversation starter.

Painting: Select a piece of artwork based on the subject matter, but also the medium. As you look through Minted’s paintings, consider whether acrylic paintings like textured and layered swirls are right for your space, or if a watercolor painting made up of beautiful hues strikes your fancy. Minted has a wide variety of painting subjects and mediums available.

Geometric/Patternwork: This type of artwork can add a modern twist and a sense of satisfaction based on its order and precision. Choose from paintings of colorful rows, contrasting geometric shapes, half-circles dancing across a canvas, and more.

Modern: Expression in modern artwork comes in many forms. Rather than focusing on people, it focuses on scenes. Choose from photographs of seaside towns and bridges. Opt for abstract paintings in a variety of colors that include gold flecks. Revel in bold landscapes, floral designs, and geometric patterns.

Vintage: Vintage prints sometimes transport the viewer back to a distinct time in history. Explore photography of aged technology, landscape paintings of underdeveloped regions, or design techniques that may have been forgotten.

Minimalist: Depending on your decor, living room art may best fit the room if it is minimalist. Black and white abstract brush strokes, simple photos of foggy forests and beach piers, and geometric and colorful designs are the perfect way to make a simple statement on your walls.

Pick a size: Whether you’re looking for an art piece to rest on an end table or a large statement piece to mount above the couch, we have sizes big and small. On the smaller end, select a 5” x 7” piece. We have designs available in landscape, portrait, and square orientations.

Choose the printing format: Opt to print your selection on fine art paper and mount it behind plexiglass or consider a canvas art look for the living room.

Pick a frame style: Once you’ve decided whether to go with an art print or a canvas, you can complete the look with a luxe frame selection. Our frame materials include walnut wood, natural raw wood, or chic matte black or matte brass metal frames.
