Quick answer
Start with the wall space you want to fill, then match the print’s mood and size to your room’s function. For a living room, aim for a statement piece that anchors the seating area without overwhelming the wall.
Size matters: scale your print to the wall
A common mistake is choosing a print that’s too small. For a living room wall above a sofa, the art should span about two-thirds the width of the furniture. If you have a large empty wall, consider a single oversized print or a gallery wall of smaller ones.
Mood and color: tie it to your room’s palette
Your art print can either complement or contrast your existing decor. Neutral rooms benefit from a pop of color, while busy spaces do better with a more subdued piece. The metallic inks on the Hatshepsut Art Print add a subtle shimmer that catches light without overwhelming the room.
How to choose your living room art print
- Measure your wall: Measure the width of the wall or the furniture below it. The art print should be 50–75% of that width for a balanced look.
- Decide on a mood: Do you want calm, bold, nostalgic, or inspiring? Match the print’s subject and colors to the energy you want in the room.
- Choose a focal point: Place the print at eye level (about 57–60 inches from the floor to the center) and above a sofa, console, or mantel for maximum impact. Once hung, step back and see if the print feels balanced with the rest of the room.
- Consider framing: A simple black or white frame keeps the focus on the art. For a more casual look, try a floating frame or no frame at all with a clip hanger.
