photos and advice on choosing paintings
The living room is the front part of a house or apartment. Here we meet guests, spend free time with relatives and stay alone with ourselves. In a large house, often the living room is an open space that occupies a significant part of the first floor. That is why there are always increased requirements for the design of the living room.
Painting by the artist Zaremba Evgeny in the interior of the living room
The same applies to art. Pictures are chosen very carefully. In this article we will tell you how to choose paintings in the living room. We will offer an algorithm by which you can make the right choice yourself.
1. Living room interior styles
Starting from the style in which the interior is made. Each style has its own characteristics and features. And it is they who need to be kept in mind when choosing paintings. We offer you the following hints:
1.1. Paintings for the living room in the style of minimalism
The main features of the style are simple shapes, geometry, and the absence of small details.
Look at the paintings in the living room from this position. Pictures that correspond to these parameters will fit perfectly - monochrome, restrained palette, large dies of the same color and strokes. It can be both abstract and figurative. Geometric abstractions work well. 91.2. Paintings for the living room in country style
Characteristic features of the country style are: well-thought-out "not splendor" of the interior, aged surfaces, the presence of antiques, incredible comfort. In such an interior, landscapes, still lifes, images of people will be appropriate. In some cases, abstraction is also appropriate.

Country style living room interior with decorative still life
1.3. Pictures for living room in loft style
This style is characterized by industrialism and brutality. We are looking for the same features in the paintings - works in mixed media, with a rough texture, with wide, confident strokes that seem to have been carried out “with the whole body”. These are large works from a meter.
We choose conceptual paintings with conventionally apocalyptic themes. Or figurative work with large objects. Black and white abstractions with visual roughness are also suitable. 1.4. Paintings for the living room in Art Deco style
This style is characterized by deliberate decorativeness, strict geometry, contrast and sophistication. Our selection includes strict geometric and bright abstractions, an extravagant female image, single and paired objects with decorative effect brought to the maximum. 91.5. Paintings for the living room in the neoclassical style
Such interiors are characterized by classic lightweight shapes and light colors. Bright color accents are possible. Elegance and quiet luxury. The style is interesting because it can withstand almost any style of painting! And the choice of paintings in this case is very extensive, take a look at our selection of paintings for a neoclassical interior.

Speech: the most important start from the style of the interior and look at those works that will be in tune with it.
In addition, the most important indicator of a well-chosen work of art is your own sense of "mine / not mine." Understanding the style of the interior is necessary as a starting point or something that you can rely on in a variety of choices.
As you view the works (especially live), you will feel which one you want to buy. The article should not limit you to strict adherence to the style of the interior.
2. Where to hang a picture in the living room?
Of course, living rooms in every house have their own characteristics - both architectural and spatial, and interior stylistic. But still, there is an approximate list of places where paintings are most often placed: above the sofa, in the dining area of the living room, between windows and in the walls.
But paintings are not always placed on the walls. In foreign interiors, it is common to place large paintings on the floor. It is also convenient to place the painting on a chest of drawers, consoles (or above them). In this case, it is easy to change the location of work - half a year in the bedroom, half a year in the living room, and so on.
Scroll through the slides.
3. What size should the painting in the living room be?
Large paintings in the living room give a "wow" effect and look just great! It is the large format that allows the picture to play a major role in the room. And it's unusual. It's catchy. Excites. Surprises. And definitely - does not leave anyone indifferent! If the living room area allows - choose a large format. From a meter and more!
Painting "Reflection" by Evgeny Zaremba in the living room. The size of the picture is 140x150 cm
It is logical to use medium formats when the size of the locations does not allow placing a large picture (between windows, for example, or on a chest of drawers).
The small format of paintings does not "hold" the interior, and in fact, in this case, the painting becomes an element of decor. Such a small picture can be put on a chest of drawers, on a shelf. Or collect a set of several small paintings and place them on the wall. But these options significantly lose to spaces with large canvases. But, of course, suitable for small spaces.
You can see even more paintings for the living room on our website. And if you experience difficulty in the selection or there is no time for it - contact us! We will be happy to make a personal selection for you! To do this, you just need to leave a request for the selection of paintings.
photos of the best solutions, recommendations for choosing
Guests will always admire the decoration of the central hall of an apartment or a private house with highly artistic works of art. And property owners will receive unforgettable satisfaction from the work done. After all, choosing the right masterpieces, beautifully and elegantly placing them on the wall is a truly design, decorating art.
Rules for the selection of artistic images
Living room paintings make even a dark room brighter and more visually appealing. They maintain harmony and proportion among the furnishings and overall design of the space. Decorators note a number of significant points when choosing and using paintings in the design of a room:
- works of art of different styles randomly hung on the walls can bring disharmony and an undesirable effect of a lack of aesthetic taste into the interior;
- interior art exhibition involves the placement on one wall of works in the same style or the same theme;
- paintings are placed on light, dull surfaces without a pattern (whether wallpaper, plaster, painting) so as not to distract attention from the semantic design of the walls;
- their decoration is facilitated by frames framing the images, which are chosen to match the tone and structure of the nearest furniture.
The choice of paintings in the living room is influenced by: the size of the room; area and wall decoration; style decision of the room; furniture parameters and its color scheme; compatibility with interior details.
Design: Anna Muravina
Classic oil paintings in a realistic manner suggest a voluminous, beautiful, exquisite baguette. They are perfect for a classic style living room interior. Perfectly look over a fireplace or a guest sofa. The modern interior accepts abstraction, modernism - current trends in fine arts.
Watercolor is considered light, “airy” painting. Looks great in a stylized gallery. Still lifes, plants, rural landscapes will be indispensable in interiors made in the style of country, Provence, shabby chic.
Retro and pop art are increasingly choosing works made with acrylic paints. Hi-tech, loft, Scandinavian style look attractive with artistic photo illustrations and posters in metal frames. Graphics prefer a thin frame under glass and are "shown" primarily for eclecticism.
Choosing the ideal size of a painting for the living room interior
The principles of visual perception of space suggest:
gallery on the wall becomes an attractive artistic "spot" and is able to play the role of semantic zoning of the hall;
visually increase the height of the room with a large vertical canvas;
the horizontal arrangement of a large image will create the effect of increasing the spatial frames along the width of the area;
square paintings of medium size do not visually change the geometry of the hall;
a large canvas or several large images above the fireplace or sofa visually reduce the volume of these interior items.
Design: Maxim Noda
The ideal size of a painting in a reception room should match the architectural dimensions of the room and the selected dimensions of the furniture. In urban environments, medium artistic images are better suited. The ceiling height of more than 3 meters allows you to "look closely" at the vertical compositions in the image, in other cases, horizontal rectangular paintings are appropriate.
Decorators call the size of a work of art no more than half of the working length of the sofa placed above it as optimal in terms of parameters. Modular compositions can harmoniously occupy up to 2/3 of the area above the back of the sofa.
A small living room looks good with a picture of about 50 cm along the longest frame or several images within 30 cm of the longest side of the perimeter: they look attractive in a gallery with a minimum of 3 pictures.
Matching image and baguette to interior colors
The color harmony of the home art exhibition is achieved by taking into account the general background of the hallway. It depends on the color of the furniture, walls, ceiling, floor, curtains, decor elements. One color motif of the images and the wall can be contrasted with a brightly executed baguette. And, on the contrary, the contrast of bright paintings is "muted" by frames made to match the wall and adjacent furniture. It is worth remembering that the “juicy” color of the wall can “suppress” the light tones of the image, distract from the plot.
Designers in decorating a room with paintings use such a concept as rhyme. An aquarium with live fish suggests a marine motif of the picture, a drawing with flowers - a vase with live plants, a sofa with pillows in the Provence style - a harmonious image that includes the entire set of the color palette used.
Design: Zhenya Zhdanova
Living room in light (white, beige, pale brown) tones looks charming and perceived with pictures made in a bright, colorful pictorial manner. Bright contrasting decorative details of the interior, suitable in meaning to the picture, can also serve as an addition.
Inside the painting harmoniously combine white with bright red, yellow with blue, orange with green.
Panoramic works with 3D effect will help visually increase the space of a small living room, make it accentuated by bright colors. For example, in the Mediterranean style and ultramarine, the image of underwater life through a stylized porthole can become the center of the semantic perception of space by the viewer in the living room.
A win-win option for modern style is the choice of monochrome images. It is relevant and does not require special design and decorating skills.

Correspondence of the choice of pattern to the style of the living room
Harmony in the interior of the living room is achieved by deliberately following the chosen stylistic decision. And paintings in this process are no exception.
-
Modern interior style "chooses" modern, classic, vintage in painting.
-
The classical style allows you to get away from classical academicism in art: the genre of classical portrait, the Pre-Raphaelite period of painting will be appropriate. Still lifes, landscapes will also find their rightful place in the interior of the chosen style. The classic English style is attractive with images of horses, dogs, hunting scenes.
-
Art Nouveau adheres to current trends in contemporary fine arts.
-
Country, like Provence, prefers landscapes of country life, still lifes, flowers in a bright colorful palette that characterizes the natural shades inherent in nature, endless fields, sky, forests and slopes ...
-
For minimalism, hi-tech, loft, avant-garde motifs, monochrome images and artistic photographs will successfully “fit in”. It can be cubism, abstraction and clear geometry.
-
Pop art is harmonious in the design of the hall with bright posters, posters and photographs.
-
Art Deco loves Expressionist masterpieces in oils, watercolors, as well as graphics and photographs as works of art.
-
Fusion selects modular display options.

How to correctly hang pictures in the apartment
Placing pictures in the main hall not only decorates the room, but also:
-
allows you to zone the space;
-
brightens dark areas of a light wall;
-
diverts attention from imperfections in the interior;
-
"hides" possible building errors;
-
allows the design to create bright accents
Typical Swedish house
Pictures in the living room are placed above the sofa and chest of drawers, in the fireplace area, gallery on one of the walls, on special shelves. Their "hanging" is subject to the simple rules of decorative art:
- The large size of each painting has an accentuated semantic load. Therefore, their placement requires space between them. At the same time, asymmetry in the arrangement is welcomed.
- The dynamics of the interior is achieved by using paintings of different formats in one room. The severity of the style is supported by images of the same size and similar baguette design.
- Zoning is done by placing pictures in the center of the selected semantic zone. The symmetry of the entire space is achieved by placing a picture (gallery) in the central part of the room.
- An ascetic living room looks attractive when several relatively large paintings are placed above the sofa of the same height in one row without massive frames.
Design: Aleksandrina Lukacs
- The decorative pictorial group above the chest of drawers is complemented by decor items connected with the story line or flowerpots with natural flowers.
- Paintings properly illuminated by artificial light sources or placed in natural rays look much more advantageous, decorating the interior of the hall unsurpassedly.
- Paintings hung in the fireplace area create comfort. They help to harmonize the entire space of the room.
- Images placed on the whole wall - this is already an art wall, as the British and Americans say. A very bold decision worthy of attention! Such a gallery has been assembled for years in order to comply with a single style decision in the pictorial range.
- Not pretentious placement of pictures is the choice of shelves for them. This approach allows you to quickly change the arrangement of paintings depending on the mood and creative impulse.
Design: Irina Uzhintseva
Classic or modern: what theme to choose for the interior of the hall
Classical style in modern rooms tends to reproductions that have stood the test of time: these are world-famous artists exhibited in recognized museums, galleries, hermitages. The theme ranges from everyday sketches to landscapes and characteristic portraits. The plot is chosen based on the emotional urge. Storm and storm on canvas will bring an unsettling touch to the atmosphere of the living room, an idyll - calm and harmony.
Modern style is all about personal taste. It is desirable that they be based on the knowledge of the creative embodiment and artistic perception of the surrounding world by representatives of the creative principle. Then the acquisition will please the eye, leave indelible aesthetic pleasure, will not get tired of bringing new artistic discoveries from viewing the image.
Design: Katerina Sizova
Modular images
Modular thematic images are relevant today (in other words, segment paintings). They are arranged in one row with different sizes, in several rows with the same geometry. Small drawings are arranged asymmetrically around the central large image.
Popular images of the city (city landscape), natural landscapes, flower themes, still lifes.
Paintings above the sofa
Paintings above the sofa are classics of the design genre. It is not advisable to “frame” a large canvas with photographs or small images “out of order”. Oil on canvas looks classic, a memorable plot, a beautiful frame.
Pictures of the same size hung in a row look organically above the long sofa. It is desirable - a single semantic series, forming something like a triptych or its artistic performance.
Arranging a composition of paintings of different sizes, but one plot/style/color line will be helped by arranging a large composition in the center, small ones at the edges, obeying the laws of correct geometry. You can consider other options: a mini-gallery in a speculative rectangle of 4-8 works, several paintings inscribed in a square (for example, one large rectangular, three small squares), three identical vertical drawings in one row. Graphics and artistic photography are arranged in three rows with several works in each, forming a semantic rectangle. In a word, there are many variations and it all depends on the factors that we considered earlier.
Canvas prints and photographs
This is neither painting nor posters. For the most part - reproductions that have a very presentable appearance, but do not have artistic value with all the ensuing components: the lack of depth of color perception, the magical qualities of brush strokes with oil paint ...
Photographic paintings are realistic - this is their plus and minus. The picture, as a work of art, still carries a greater energy and aesthetic charge.
Design: Maria Pilipenko and Ekaterina Fedorova
Stylish black and white paintings
Stylish black and white paintings are universal: they suit any room and environment, from strict classics to bright pop art; combined with different colors and furniture.
There are some rules for their competent use as decor:
-
Combination with furniture. Images of non-standard forms, with broken lines, landscapes, well suited to furniture with smooth outlines. The canvases, which depict human faces, figures, geometric patterns, fit the furniture of clear, strict forms.
-
Accommodation. Stylish paintings in black and white are placed symmetrically, keeping a clear step between the canvases. If a black and white canvas is chosen as the central part among the rest, it should exceed them in size. Small pictures are arranged in groups.
-
Background . The wall where the decor is placed should be light - white, beige, gray. Wallpaper is chosen smooth, without a pattern, otherwise the background will attract all the attention.
-
Frame. Perfect frame - thin, black.
Fashionable paintings for the interior. What's in trend?
Interior art, just like clothes, can be trendy or out of trend. Today it can be argued that canvases painted in the spirit of classical realism (landscapes and still lifes) are used less and less when decorating an apartment. They can find their place only in the interior of a strict classical style. What is in trend?
-
images whose writing style is expressionism or abstractionism;
-
traditional color or monochrome posters. The plot must correspond to the purpose of the room;
-
modular systems with unusual, spectacular images. Their advantage: the modules do not look bulky, but are also able to visually expand the space, “raise” the ceilings.
-
copies of paintings by famous impressionists.
Modern interior paintings should not exist on their own, but be an organic part of the design and functionality of the room. So, if for the living room there is a wide choice of what can be depicted on the poster, then when decorating the bedroom, you should choose something more restrained. The style of the room is also important. For example, pin-up pictures used to decorate loft living rooms do not go out of fashion. Oriental style also requires a specific decor - posters, canvases of a similar theme.
Paintings for the living room with your own hands
The most acceptable way to make a modular painting is by yourself: it is quite possible to make a creative work without special training. The basis of the composition is a photograph or a drawing made in oil, acrylic paints, watercolor, gouache.
The image is marked into parts that are cut out with improvised tools (scissors, stationery knife, blade). Fragments can be equal or completely different in geometry: it all depends on personal imagination and design ideas. Fragments are glued onto a cardboard or foam base.
In the second option, the ends are painted in the color of the wall or sofa drapery. The modules are not necessarily installed according to a clear geometry: they can be shifted in the same row with respect to neighboring fragments. What is called: create and get creative pleasure from it!
