10 tips: How to find the right picture for your living room?

1. Consider the room style


Make sure the picture fits the style of your living room. A modern picture is suitable for a contemporary living room, while a classic painting fits better in a traditional setting. If your style corresponds to "minimalism", for example: white walls, unobtrusive or very different furniture. Depending on the mood you want to create, pictures and other decorations in the same style will help you create a unified image.


2. Choose the appropriate size

The size of the picture should be proportional to the wall space and furniture. A large image can fill an empty wall, while smaller images can be arranged well in groups. Like our picture walls.

You can place pictures not only on the walls, but also on shelves, tables, pianos and even on the floor.


3. Note color palette

The image should complement or contrast the tones of the room. Choose colors that harmonize with the furniture and decorations.


4. Theme and mood

Think about what mood you want to create. Landscapes and Nature images can have a calming effect, while abstract art is dynamic and lively.


5. Select border style

A simple frame can emphasize modern art, while an elaborate frame emphasizes classic works.

The current trend is to hang pictures on canvas and without frames.  Such a step is very suitable for Loft style, Minimalism or just large canvas paintings.

But be careful that the stretcher frame is stable enough. Our stretcher frame with 4cm thickness is ideal for large formats.

6. Personal taste

Choose an image that you personally like and that reflects your personality. It should be something that you enjoy watching on a daily basis. Are you a music lover? Do you like traveling? Do you like architecture or vintage cars? Check out our categories -->


7. Artistic diversity

Consider a mix of different art styles and media, such as painting, photography and printmaking, to create visual interest.


8. Consider spatial function

Think about the function of the living room. A formal room might benefit from a traditional image, while a relaxed room could benefit from more modern art.

By the way: It's not just food motifs and texts that are suitable for the kitchen. Architecture, landscapes and animals also look good in the kitchen.


9. Set budget
